I've read that they take less power than stock.

your alternator will thank you LOL half the power twice the light win win.

35w per side, and no filament to break over time from vibration. The bulbs we use are the OEM standard Phillips bulbs so no worries about quality/reliability there either. We all know these lights are not cheap, but honestly when it comes to HID's you DO get what you pay for. These are the absolute best! and I'm not just saying that cause we make them.... I've compared all the other components and options out there.... this honestly is a modern day OEM quality headlight setup. I have these on my own cars and its honestly like daytime at night, and I have never been flashed for blinding a single person.

If someone was looking in their rear view mirror at night, there would be no way to distinguish your car from a $80K BMW/Mercedes/etc till you passed them lol. Yes they are THAT good These are NOT toys like the other crap currently available... these are proper HID projector lighting setups.

I'm in! I only found this thread by reading about another thread on rear bulb led swaps. Need to post a distinct thread to inform the entire FB audience about this project. Interest should be there.

Here you go, when you replied to the thread, there was actually one more name added after yours. I fixed it here.

All FB/SA owners on here should help spread the word about this GB. The location of this thread is not a place I would have ever looked either, I found it because of someone elses signature mentioned it.

I'm 100% with ya! its an obscure section of the forum and unfortunately we're literally buried/hidden. 3rd gen section guys may check here more frequently, bit FB/FC not so much. We do have to follow forum rules however, so I can't very well make a post saying... "hey guys, lights for sale, look here"

BUT, another forum member could "review" the lights/installation/quality etc. I should be meeting with a local FC owner within the next week or so to test fit the lights on his car. We'll try to snap alot of pics and hopefully he will be willing to post a "review" of the lights with pictures etc in a thread in the FC section. (We'll be installing a set of FD HID's on his FD as well that day ).

There was a local (bay area) FB owner who at one point seemed willing to test and review the HID's on his car however I haven't heard from him in some time. If I can't set something up with him, maybe we can find another local guy with an FB.

yeah i feel ya on that... not to mention you probably would want to verify they fit in the buckets first anyway as these are somewhat deep. Though I have to say, once you start using these things you cant go back. But, it's not something you can describe with pics, you gotta see em in person to appreciate the difference.

Yeah hop in if the timing doesnt work out no one will hold you to it or anything... though it may be a limited run of these things when it happens. i cant guarantee there will be an extra set hanging around but at the same time maybe we'll be into another GB if people like the first batch. we're expecting a decent number of dropouts anyway (just how these GB's go) so hop on in and lets see what happens

^^No problem sir, i want this to happen so bad its not even funny. The power draw from the stock lights is worthless and the lack of brightness on the lights is suicide.

Tired of all these kids running around wit these fake *** kits being all like yeah i got HID"s like listen you lil turd no you don't and that **** is annoying as ****.

lemme know when you are going to start production i will be the first to send payment and would like to provide a write-up of the install wit pictures if possible.
