99 spec turn light housing as head light
 
Hi guys,

Has anyone tried to use the 99 spec turn lights as the headlights? I was thinking of getting projector lenses that would fit inside and an led.

*EDIT* I meant the 99 spec turn light housings

How is visibility on them? I saw a few pictures of them during night time and they seem to be vary 'scattered'

Do you have a photo of them during night time facing a flat surface like the side of a building?

not on hand but i can take one for you. its really good. its a little scattered but not as much an hid in a halogen housing. theyre really good.

this picture is from hwl. the exposure on this image is probably a little long but this is a good representation of how bright they are. i will try and take a picture tonight for you

Black Label Eng makes something similar. But I think it's more for DRLs than driving.

Where can we find/order the hotwaterlabs lights? Price?

cr-rex 01-13-17 04:33 PM

theyre made in limited production runs so they are pretty hard to get. currently hwl is "moving shops" so black tie motorsports is the place to get hwl products. you can ask if they have any available but theres a good chance they dont....

Home / Blacktie Motors

Hotwaterlabs is selling another limited run of the booster lights.
HotWater Labs ? HWL FD- LED combo spec lights / booster lights ***** IN STOCK 8/1/17 *****

Blacktie Motors has a vented/ air duct type of combo lights.
'99 spec turn signal vents / Blacktie Motors

The ones Hotwaterlabs sell might be usable as headlights as posted already, the combo lights Blacktiemotors haz look crazy bright but i wouldnt use them as headlights.
