I decided to go with HID's.. instead of the fake white bulbs..

I got the hella ballasts and bulbs.. 6000k

Here are some pics..

 

Wow! how much dinero?

Any more pics of the car?

 

Phil,

hey man it's Charlie. the lights look great! how do they compare to stock, and did you keep the stock plastic lenses? i was thinking about getting an HID kit like that and using glass lenses from the euro-spec FD's so that the light pattern is smoother. (i assume it would be smoother anyway, i've never looked into it)... also, does the light affect oncoming cars? cops in my area are big about pulling you over if your lights are too bright... and how does the light compare to an OEM system offered on say BMW, Acura, etc... ?

sorry for all the questions! looks fantastic

-Charlie

 

Where did you buy from? Looks very good.

 

Charlie,

Good to hear from you again..

Well, its pretty damn bright.. but it could just be because the car is in my garage.. I'm going to test drive it tonight.. Hope its slightly better.. or at least less bright..

I might have to point the lens down a bit.. also, I took the inner shield in the lens.. I think it blocks the light slightly.. so, its brighter.. I'll take some more pics tonight compare to my legend.. Maybe lt will be o.k..

But they are definitely brighter.. I mean by a lot!!

 

It was pretty cheap.. I bought it used from this guy in Hawaii.. He had it in his Ducati.. I think?? I paid 310 shipped.. it had 15 hours..

Here are some pics.. they are couple of months old.. I have few things done since..

 

So what are you driving down to MD? The 7 or something else?

 

I like the last pic with the 7 and 8.

Looks very nice and clean.

 

I'll be driving my daily car.. Legend coupe..

 

How hard was the install for the HID's? Thats exactly what I wanna do with my car. I hate the stock lighthing, but love the look of the pop-ups when they're down.

Your car is gorgeous by the way. I love it!

 

herblenny,

Do you have hi-beams too? By the way, car is looking sweet!

 

thanx for the pics. Very nice indeed.

 

Thanks guys..

I only have the low beams.. by my research, I found that the some of the high beam kit have hologen as high beam.. Also, these are already pretty freakin bright.. Here is the comparison pic..

 

holy ..dat's one lord piece..very nice

 

get the daytime runnin night to HID too..it'll so damn pretty

 

Geez those things are bright! Very nice.

 

nice, i like it.

 

looks great phil!

 

Phil, cars looking nice.
Crazy *** fenders you got there.
Anyway I have been talking up HIDS for like the last month and your testimonial is makingme wish I had bought them already.

 

It definitely makes a huge difference.. I been driving around tonight.. just came back..

I'm now thinking about getting the stock 99 fogs into HID's.. I think someone has done this before.. I have to look into it.. I think it was some guy in Japan..

 

Looks very good Herb!

 

?

 

Herb - very cool... the difference in visibility is astounding compared to stock, no?

take a look at my install page

FD3S HID Install

I have heard that the ballasts dont like to be exposed to the elements, so I found a great place to mount them that might work for you too...

Can you get a pic of them against a garage door or something for a beam pattern comparison?

Oh and the stock fogs are H3, the kit is available but about the same prices as the H4 Kit

 

SwEEt!!! HIDs are a future mod for me. BTW, I installed the taillights they're great.

 

i'd definitely recommend projectors w/ hids, makes a helluva difference
