Is that a decent one, or APC POS?

Dont know, We have not installed enough of them to get a real feel. They are made by Matrix.


I emailed http://www.arbusa.com/headlight_replacements.php about becoming a dealer for their stuff.

that looks really nice i hope someone around here sells them so i can get a set of those. would like to have light blue or violet bulbs for them though i did some green one on the bug for a while drove people nuts so i went with a mix between blue and yellow man those bulbs where nice. the lady that has that car now loves them being so bright almost wish i didnt sell it but oh well i have something almost as fast now and a hole lot more respect for it

Manntis

They're headlights, not christmas lights. Don't play around with odd colours - it can result in tickets or accidents.

bugman1973

oh i only did it because down here i can get away with it. not too strict with the laws

Manntis

Headlights are safety devices designed to let you see at night, and let other drivers know you're coming. Different coloured lights reduce the spectrum of available light for you to see, and confuse oncoming drivers. in both cases you're increasing your likelihood of an accident.

The laws of physics could care less what your local traffic regulations let you 'get away with'.

the violet was probably the best way to see the road visibility wise the green i soon took off after about a week had a problem seeing the sides of the road the blue was great the bulbs are still on there to date the lady with the car loves them and the yellow ones i would tell no one to ever consider getting that color just doesnt do anything better then stock they suck

I have bulbs in several differect colors and they are all 50 state legal.

I repeat:
The laws of physics could care less what your local traffic regulations let you 'get away with'.

Light frequencies are a fine science. Tinted 'fashion' bulbs often decrease your actual visibility - both you seeing the road and obstacles, and others safely seeing you and recognising your lights as oncoming headlights.

i found a kit from made by hella no actual bulb but they are non sealed beams from a company called http://www.blackdragonauto.com/ very nice company even offer seat covers for any year rx7 from what i saw check them out maybe you'll havent heard of them i just found out about them yesterday from a new guy to my area that owns a very nice and stock gsl

Manntis

Black Dragon is Victoria British, a longtime player in the aftermarket parts retail business. They just separated their Japanese parts into Black Dragon recently (last year, IIRC). They're a bit pricey on some stuff, but fairly reliable.

bugman1973

they sell them for like 39.99 thats better then most of the other places selling them the same way for like 59.99 and up without the bulbs like these guys so

Those are the replacement bulbs that I posted when you 1st started your thread. I liked them so much that I had transfeered them from every 7 that I owned over a 15 year period.

bugman1973

How much do those IPF lights run? and do they include the H4 blubs?

Hades12

Dont know yet. I have to get setup as a vendor before I get any pricing.

Try www.blackdragon.com. They have some Hellas that have a separate halogen bulb.

Manntis

I have the IPF's with an upgraded harness. They are absolutely freaking awesome. The color is an almost perfect white - You'd swear they are HID's.
They also have a beautiful cutoff for safety.

what bulbs are you running?

Directfreak

Right now, the regular H4 Magic J bulbs (55/60W), with a blue "glow".

I originally got the idea from here: http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/electrical/ipf_h4_01/



I might try the "X51 Fat Boy" bulbs later, since I already upgraded the wire harness.
But the ones I currently have on already put out a vast amount of light.

I bought them here: http://www.rocky-road.com/jeepipf.html

bugman1973

thats a bit steep isn't it for lenses and bulbs?

Manntis

Absolutely not - while the Bosch and Hella H4 conversion kits are fairly low priced, proper lighting is often a you-get-what-you-pay-for thing. Hella HIDs, for example, are in the $1,000 a pair range.

DF- so you have the $60 7" round housings and the $33 bulbs correct?

i think ill order these very soon. why are you wanting to go to the fat boys since you upgraded the harness?
