my uninstalled bulb s are 8500k headlight and 10k fogs if anyone can help or know how to install bulbs let me know

christl03

Yeah I like the match look too. But the lowest temp he had was 6k/. IM kindda of a fan of the color. Its not as blue as the 8k. But its not pure white like the 4300s. It looks nice. Ill just get the 6k d2rs to match. Then im off to get some springs lol

^ Damn rookie! Bring some tools to the meet! LOL

Lol.

I got mine for $50. Got it on the TL & suburban fog lights and my bike. I love it.

Rsoetidjo

It's really easy. ya, bring some tools to the meeting. I had 8000k on my wife accord before and we didn't like it. After a while you eyes getting tired. And I heard that from a lot of people. Because of the blue color make your eyes tired. And I think 10k is illegal. But it's good for show only.

haha nice.. i think it may have to be BYOB since the economy is so crappy. lol .

I will look at my schedule and see when I will have time to have some people over on the weekend ..

anyone in orlando clear their headlights themselves yet? I have done it on my previous civic, but the headlights were easy and cheap to find so i wasnt too scared to mess with them.. and I did those successfully.. i want to try the TL headlights, but I want someone around who has done it already..

Yes, I wanna do my TL headlights also. I know Rsoetidjo did his headlights in the oven. He actually said it was easy, but time consuming. All I wanna do is that damn orange piece out, I dont want to paint the housing because I think it looks dumb on an SSM.

Wanna get my CL lights done also.....im not planning on removing the diffuser, just going to slap some 5% tint on it and put it back in, then wanna paint my turn signal reflector.

Rsoetidjo

I did mine allready. it was easy but time consuming.

Rsoetidjo

Got the LED tail light last week. But the parking light isn't bright enough. So a play around (changed the resistor) and end up did something wrong. Cuz now the lights isn't even work. I sended back to him today. Hopefully got it back on time before the meet.
I email a bounce of LED tail light manufacture and got a email back. They said they will look at into it. Guys keep your finger cross.

WOuld you be willing to come out if we had an install meet? I just dont dont want them to melt.. lol .. I am going to remove the reflector and paint it black inside..

Superb

i baked my headlights in the oven also. there's nothing to it.

Rsoetidjo

Sure..., why not. If you want to do it, it's really easy. Set you oven to lowest setting. Cover up the inside (side,back,and top)of the oven with aluminum foil. And the rack too. Lay down a damp towel on the rack and lay the headlight on the towel. put it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. and right away get it out and start pry it the headlights. Repeat that step till you get it off. Took me 3 times. Becareful it's going to be hot. Make sure you take the bulb and the ballast off 1st.
HAVE FUN...

JRhodes88

iTrader: (2)

You said when you bake your headlights...I forgot if you said to take all the old sealant out of them, or just leave it in there and then replace it with new.

Onese1f

I'll be making it to the next meet!! Tell em' Toph!

easymoney

You will want to scrape as much of that "old" sealant off so that when you reseal you won't have any leaks or any condensation in them.

IMO that is the most difficult thing about this process. Maybe not difficult, but a pain in the arse... But totally worth it in the end.

christl03

Hey guys, Does anyone know if you install after market D2R builbs into to stock ballest. Will it mess it up? I bought 6k HID Fogs, I want my headlights to match. I want to install these before the meet ofcourse lol
