Couple Pics from Today After Longer Test Drive
 
I got a chance to get it out for a 30 min drive today, beautiful weather and nice roads made for a pleasurable cruise. It's gonna be neat to actually get to drive it this summer, actually I have some rims going on in a few weeks. These are from earlier today.

bling bling man! cant wait to see what the wheels looks like on their.

What housings are those for the headlights? Did they come with the HID's?

NJGreenBudd 04-23-08 05:06 PM

They are just some cheap random headlight housings. The HID's were completely separate.

magus2222 04-23-08 05:25 PM

i wouldent use those bulbs. they scatter light everywhere and really dont look very good.

peace

sc0rp7 04-23-08 06:30 PM

I have a set of cheap H4 housings... I hate them... Looking at getting a set of DOT approved H4 housings... They make a much better light pattern and I hear you can actually see in heavy rain...

i want to now what kind of paint its that on the engine bay?did you did any body work at all before paint?

CarzArKoo1 04-23-08 06:37 PM

i think those are from ebay, iono, but nice wheels and good choice going for HID. =) thumbs up for HID. put the HID and see how the lights goes. Well if they really work as projector like stock cars that has them that will be great. good luck

are you going to lower your car?

t24todd 04-23-08 07:01 PM

make sure car inspected before equipping the hid's..will never pass you with normal hid's due to no differnt light shade..aka high/low beams.

Okay well I installed the HIDs today, cool setup, nice and simple. I think they look pretty good too.

The car just passed inspection a few days ago, and the HIDs wouldn't have been the biggest problem with inspection.

The engine bay paint is Duplicolor Ceramic Engine Paint, the whole engine was stripped, sanded, primed and painted. See here - '87 TII Ovehaul - from bouncing idle to engine refurbishment .

I'm definitely lowering it, I'm just waiting for some more loot to buy the Racing Beats springs.

Those lights look awesome. Wanna shed some light on where you got the housings and the lights and everything.

wangster11235 04-23-08 08:36 PM

sick looking car, what kind of rims are those?

NJGreenBudd 04-23-08 09:19 PM

I got the housings and the HIDs off of ebay.

The Rims are Sport Max 962's.

Nice on all the purchases.

I have the same setup for hids. Tried driving around at night with the HIDs yet. You can see everything.

turboIIrotary 04-23-08 11:57 PM

what does the cut off look like with those lights?

Here's a pic showing the HOD on the right vs the Halogen on the left, just note that the HID headlight assembly is upside down in this particular picture. They have a similar pattern as the halogens just a lot brighter.

I will get better pics of the lights when I have a chance, I ahvem't even got to drive it yet with the lights.
