I dunno why you guys waste money on those things. Not only are they uselessly dim, you can't flash your high-beams any more.

Jason its stupidly obvious. Its all about the JDM'ness of them. :rolleyes: And the 50hp they add.

hondahater 02-24-04 09:08 PM

lol reminds me when I had my 97 prelude and everyone was getting those "cool" jdm fog lights for them. They where only 500 bucks :eek: If you got lucky they where 400 and people where buying them like they where going out of style, lol. THats why when I first looked up how much a pair of stock fogs costed for my s4 I relized that its all about supply and demand.

Tofuball 02-24-04 09:08 PM

For some reason my high-beams dont flash thru the FTPs.

Maybe I'll rig up something similar with some parts from the electronics store :D

Bigretardhead 02-24-04 09:56 PM

I got mine for like $30, and I think they look cool at night. so, for $30 it was worth it. plus, my old, normal FTP's were really crappy, so I needed new ones anyway.

I dunno, I think they're pretty cool. they even look better during the day because of the whiteness, and kind of texture thing they have.

BTW, I'm normally not a fan of buying little useless things like this, but I'm happy I bought these.

plus, you can wire them up so they flash when you flash the normal brights.

where do they wire to?

Bigretardhead 02-24-04 10:22 PM

wire them wherever you want. our US spec cars don't have the plugs for them. you can make a seperate switch, or splice them into the headlights, or turn signals, or whatever.

I don't think anyone's going to notice you flashing 5W marker lights at them... ;)

Bigretardhead 02-24-04 10:56 PM

meh... who knows, you might be able to see them during the day :D

I made a custom FTP Light setup to fit in there. I'm making a photo write-up as we speak. Expect it sometime in the near future.

I need a pair, but how much are you lookin for? I'm low on cash, so it have to be pretty cheap :p:

Haven't had any problems, and I've been running this way for 5 years. Keeping the lights on is a higher drain on the electrical system though.

I bought a pair when my stock ones on my ultra low mileage 10AE decided to fall out one day. The plastic had gotten so brittle that they cracked and fell out on some of the rough Detroit roads. To fix the dim bulb issue, I dremeled the hole slightly larger so that the biggest of the wedge bulbs could fit and still use the same socket. It's about as bright as the parking lamps...good enough for me.
