Final Lighting Solution.

I finally said "Fuck It" and put amber bulbs in all 4 corners.

I've been trying to upload a video clip on my hosting site since last night, but the site has been screwy.

Untill I get it hosted, here's some pics.



























The video will show what all the light look like when on.

Get some of the ones that have the slight silver coating over them. They don't look amber at all until they light up. I can't find the right ones around here, I'll have to order some online.

Amber light, yes. Amber housings, NO.

Nope.

Not going with the current trend, back to the amber lenses.

Shit; It took me almost a year to switch to the clears.

Looks good Rick, i decided to do it awhile ago because nothing matches HIDs except LEDs which in a week Oh you can put a light coat of silver spray paint on the amber and it looks silver in the housing but still lights up amber

That's pretty cool that you setup a videoclip. What kind of headlight bulbs and exhaust are you running?

The HIDs are EAGLEYE 6000K (I don't know who actually makes them--I think they're from Japan or Korea ).

The exhaust is from 3A Racing. It's called "Air Dynamic".

I had the hyper whites and they made the housings look blue during the day..... I went to buy ambers, but i they didnt have the 7440, so i went back to plain sylvania bulbs in all the slots up front and it looks good, kind of a yellowish color, not too bright, i like it..for now anyway..but it made me think that all yellow bulbs upfront might look sweet..anyone seen/done this?

I just did the amber bulb conversion too. I'm having probems finding amber 7440 blinker bulbs, though. I've been to a dozen auto parts stores. Time to look online I guess.
