What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

for low beams? Can I suggest 4300K from Apexcone? Pure white

3000K is good for fogs

 

[Sliver5]

I already have a kit. When I hit the deer back in July it blew the bulbs out so I'm getting new bulbs. I'm asking if I should get the 5k like I had before or should I go for 3k I know the 3k is yellow and most people put it in their fogs but I like the yellow and am thinking about putting it in the low beams.. just seeing if anyone else would think it looks good.

 

[mx-p5]

Ah! I gotcha.

yellow headlights aren't my cup O' tea, but it's your car.

There is an FC RX7 runnin around here with a 3000K HID kit in his headlights and foglights. Doesn't look quite right to me.

But if you like, go for it!!

 

[Sliver5]

I was just throwing the idea out there haha I know the LeMans cars and GT cup cars sometimes have 3k headlights so I guess I'm kinda going after that look...? IDK it was just an idea. I'm not worried about light output, anything is better than the stock headlights. What I'm worried about is how much attention I'll get from the (five-0)

 

[aMaff]

No, they have really friggin bright white headlights with yellow overlays. Apparently the overlays don't dull the light output as much as a really low temp HID would.

 

[Sliver5]

Ahhh I guess that makes sense then haha.

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, what Andrew said. They are just yellow overlays on the GT class cars

and this is waht you'd see

 

[Sliver5]

Yea, I know what color it is.. I'm not new to HID's, I was just looking for an opinion....

 

[THE Phen]

I'd personally go with the 4X00 K bulbs. I have the 5000's and tho I like them, I would have rather had the more white color. I just didn't pay much attention when I ordered them. But, since I have the 55w capsules (they're not bulbs damn it) it kinda just overpowers everything anyway.

 

[mx-p5]

i'm not insulting. It's your eyes that'll be looking at the yellow at night, i was just showing what it looked like.

Sorry, did'nt mean to insult


And I've got 4300K in my car and 4000K in Callie's.

Mine seem a little more natrual rather than PURE PURE PURE PURE PURE white of her 4000K kit

Having the PIAA 2300K fogs is a nice addition to the white hId's

 

[Sliver5]

I had 4300k before and loved it. There was SO much light it was ridiculous. I was just thinking about trying something new this time. Guess we'll see what I pull the trigger on when it comes to order! Thanks guys.

 

[mx-p5]

I love my 4300K.

So much so I am going with 4300K in the projectors as well!!

Hooray for projectors!!!

 

[Sliver5]

I know, I wish I could afford a retro-fit. In my old corolla I had some ebay projectors with HID's and it was awesome, I could only imagine an actual retro-fit.

 

[mx-p5]

Nov. 15 is the day we're shooting for to have em installed.

Pics will flood the boards

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

(blah)

 

[FightClubTheory]

I'm absolutely new to HIDs as I never gauged an interest in them, but are 5k -> Headlight and 3k -> Fogs too obnoxious?

 

[THE Phen]

Put the new front endlink on. Now I'm back to two sway bars instead of just the rear. Yay.

 

[mx-p5]

(blah)

You have no idea what kinda snags Chico has run into with these things.

We switched shrouds mid project, he tried fiberglassing for the first time, one of the projector solinoids decided to burn up and start smoking, which he has fixed, the housing i sent him was useless, so, he had to cut up 2 of his own spares to make mine,


and now it is time to put it all back together and see if it seals up.


They aren't done cause i'm lazy. Chico has been doing what he can, this project has entailed twice or more the amount of work either of us expected.


So, i'm just excited he is still doing em for me!

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

lol yeeesh, i didnt need the long winded explanation...I'm gonna give you s*** either way

 

[mx-p5]

i know, but, it always seems i'm just running my mouth about stuff i'm "GOING" to do

I actually got this one going! so, i'm gonna get snippy! lol

Oh, and i go get my lip tomorrow! Wewt!

And, it wound up costing $105 for my deductable to put in the rear motor mount.



Aftermarket warranty company decided they are going to pay for one hour of the 4 it took to install the rear mount, so, since the mechanic did the install before calling teh warranty company for approval,he is only gonig to charge me the deductable and he is gonna eat the other 3 hours labor.

Sucks for him, but, i can't afford to comp him the rest.

I've been warned to not go back to him, but, he worked the deal with me, so i'll bring my cars back.
