Lights

Hey all,

This is my first post I have learned a lot from these boards, but I cannot find these lights, where did they come from?

Anybody?? They're HID's I believe both of them are HID's so it kind of leads me to believe that are custom built, but maybe not. I think they look cool, so terminator,

I can get more pictures. I've looked through some of the technical and not really found anything, ah how nice it would be to drive with the blinding white lights of HID's on my trip to california. I drive to california to visit family about every 6 months or so and I drive at night, some of the mountain passes at night are pitch black..actually most of them I think that dual HID's would be bada** that way I could fly through them mountains....SLC to Stockton in 8 hours instead of 10 woohoo

there is this thread that was posted a couple months ago on the low profile conversion headlight... I forget the guy who designed the conversion headlights, i know that your going to be using some PIAA 90mm headlights. Your gonna also modify the housing for the stock pop-ups.

I think the guy is selling this kit for like 350....

I'll get back at you guys.

RallyLights.com sells EVERYTHING. Bookmark it.

I'm not sure exactly which lenses are used in those pictures ^^^, but these are Hella's 90mm lights, you can get brackets and everything from this site: http://www.rallylights.com/hella/90mm_modules.asp

It would be awesome to see some pictures of your 7 with the lights... maybe some mounting hardware close ups

slightly off topic does anyone know if these lights come in that super yellow color I can never find the bulbs that are yellow yet I see people driving around with sun yellow lights all the time are they HIDs? or H4s, can you get them in HIDs? ahh so many questions

HID's come in many different colours, but more specifically temperatures. They have temperatures that are indeed very yellow. They also have them all the way up to a deep purple colour.

So the Yellow you're looking for would probably be like 4000K-4500K. Whereas a pure white would be like 5500K.
