DONE DEAL! got the projector fogs installed.... without the 03 inserts for now... im ordering them and will get them in shortly... it works with just using the old roadlamp wires modified a bit.... i dont know why people say u have to tap the wires into headlights etc... ive had them on all day no probs...

 

ummmmmm not much light output.......wasnt that the point?

or maybe some night pics will show its true power or lack thereof

 

yea its not too intense in brightness...BUT.... a few reasons for that....

1. those are the cheap bulbs that came with it...any bulbs i get will make it brighter

2. hid projectors soon ...no longer worried about wimpy housing meltdowns.. once hids are in. those will be super brite!

3. its my camera fone..and pic was taken in the day time with super nice weather in frisco

 

night pics and a DIY on the install would be great looks good so far.....more pictures would do JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ok more pics then

and what projectors did you use?

 

Nice...so how many watts is that?

 

55watts. definitely handle hids.

btw, i called all over the bay area for the 03 inserts.... they only have the passenger side (the cheaper one of them two).... so i have to special order them probably

 

Shitty news on the inserts but I had a feeling.

Want to check these out!

 

yea....inserts are hard to find. o well, ill have to special order... just incase people done know.. delray acura is %25 off online parts.... google it.... i was a click away from ordering earlier today lol.

wait till i get the hids in there

 

55watts are OVERKILL...

retrofit projectors for the low beams will be a better choice than JUST a 55 hid kit for fogs.

good job! looks close to mine

 

Funny I was just about to message lippstuh about the projector fog-ing. lol

Looking forward to seein some night shots

edit: Speak of the devil he beat me to posting haha

 

turns out i won't be doing a detailed right up on how to do my fogs, but i will reveal which fog i used since i will be listing them for sale soon.

 

^

 

Calling dibs if I can...

 

already pm'd haha. want em badly

 

yea, retrofits for low beams definitely will help ... im happy with the fogs for now. just had some extra time in my hands so i decided to get rid of the nasty roadlamps...



hey does anyone know how hard it is to tap my fogs into the blinkers? i know theres a thread on it somewhere but i cant seem to find the right one with working photos. thanks

 

wait.. tap your fogs to your turn signals? why would you want to do that? the easy way is to splice the power of your fogs to the turn signal....


anyways, i was supposed to make them for uneekling but he will be getting the fogs and i already have all the parts from his project which i didn't even start yet. confused? basically i will have the fogs and HID kit for sale.

 

thanks for the correction lippstuh. i meant splice the power of fogs into turn signals... so wen i turn the side markers (turn signals) on, the fogs will come on..instead of having to turn on the headlights as well....

do i have to get behind the bumper to do the power splice?

 

4am night shots w/ pda phone.





the coloring is a bit better on the last photo since i set it to night mode, you can see the yellow..my headlights are 8k...pretty blue in person, you can see the contrast of yellow and blue..my headlights didnt hit the ground much since my car was facing up hills, all that light is from the fogs....


waiting on the 03 inserts and i will be ordering h3 hids soon

 

update: i took apart the projectors after the first photo in the starting thread above. Messed with lens and took out a piece that blocked the light from beaming harder. thats why the projectors looked dim in the first photo above. Now it shoots out pretty hard with this sh!tty bulb (examples above)

 

Can't wait to see the H3s in there

 

7am shot

 

4 am shot and a 7 am shot..lol do you EVER sleep!?

 

@ lawsofpower's insomnia

 

Ha ha...welcome to the insomnia club!

 

^ yea I mean who can sleep when there's a pair of projectors in your garage waiting to be installed

 

^ Good point...

 

Hey, that kind of looks like chinatown. lolzz

 

haha. i was actually at work

 

You live in San Francisco too...?

 

Yeah, I just moved to SF recently along with my wife and son. Mortgage in Texas was way too much $$..or atleast for what i've owned. I have 03 anthracite cl s 6spd as my daily driver

 

wow, welcome to the forums , im sure you will like san francisco, many strollers on dubs here

 

I think the 7am shot looks great. Nice color and contrast against the 8k HID's.

 

^ thanks. yea that came out real clear with the two colors. those fogs really help. waiting to get the HID kit installed once i have time.

 

Are your stock road lamps for sale?

 

yea, i was getting to listing it on craigslist or ebay... pm me your offer.

 

Well...welcome to the City.

If you ever want to grab a beer or snap some pics of the CL...

Hit me up!

I aim to take pics with every CL owner in San Francisco...! Yeah right! Dream ON!

 

haha noah.

 

Ha ha...well!

Going to snap pics with another one out in Moraga!
