HID's, LED's Installed. (Pics, 56k Death)

[007]

Are the leds bright enough? I had some stealth bulbs that werent, and now I'm running silverstar turn signals which arent really clear at all. Can you post a link to where you got the bulbs too?

Looks very good!

IMO, the LED's are bright enough. Maybe only like a 20% decrease in light output from the stockers.

I got them here http://www.v-leds.com Look under "3156/3157" bulbs. They are the 18 amber bulbs. I have heard the "super refractors" are even better but last time I checked they were out of stock.

NOTE: With these bulbs you will get the faster blinking as if the bulb was dead. You will need to buy the load resistors kit from V-Leds that corrects the problem. I was gonna do it but I actually prefer the faster blinking now as it grabs the attention of the guy behind me better then the slower blinking so he doesn't eat my ass.

;[ only if they made projectors nicer for you guys. Take some more pictures on the garage wall to see if its fixed. Other than that it looks good.

Well, I think I found a way to make the projectors work. I am going to buy these

Then tint them using the head lamp tint kit from Stangmods and hopefully it will turn out like this:

Worst comes to worst I will ebay them off and go back to my smoked lights.

Looks sweet man.
So you are still running the stock headlight housings?. I heard that you can't do that because they don't come out right. is that true.

I am using stockers with clear side reflectors. They do a good job of putting out the light source but I do believe that HIDs run best with projectors. See my post above yours of what I am going to try.

 

[Blackie Lawless]

Welp, Stangmods e-mailed me and says the 9007 kit will not work with those projectors. I am gonna stick with my setup for now as I need to get my go fast goodies installed and also a Dyno tune.

Later on down the road I will try what I said about tinting the projectors and purchase the H3 HID kit, then sell off this 9007 kit on the classifieds here. I hardly drive at night so they will get little use.

How do you adjust the beams? ...

 

[Blackie Lawless]

On your lights, look at the top edge going torwards the center of your car. There is a small hole there. Stick whatever you can in there to make it turn. The manual recommends a 6mm Allen wrench but who the hell has one of those handy? Not me at least. It took a wide flat head but I managed to turn them. A phillips was useless, just destroyed the rubber groove.

Its on page 195 of the manual if I remember correctly.

if anyone is interested, i have access to HID kits for about $150. any temperature (color), and sizes(even fogs) and everything included.

I might be interested in a set of HID's...PM me if you can.

Did the wifes, here's how they turned out.

Oh, did the fogs too.

Those look great. Hides the ricey factor and only leaves the cool...
