Ha ha I was just on his progress thread trying to find a good picture of the door handles. Beat me to it! For those who have not seen Deathmetal's progress thread, GO LOOK IT UP. Just be prepared to add to the "list of wants".

Tell me how it goes.

I might do it myself and make another full fledged DIY for it.

I'm biting on this one for sure, I think my lights are ready to go on my type-s.

What is the highest K that I can get which will be the whitest without it starting to turn blue? Also, it has been on my to do list to change the daytime running lights along with the fog lights to HIDs. Anything I need to watch out for those?

Edit: What I am actually looking for is the brightest and whitest lights I can get. That would be perfect.

I was thinking of picking them up for my footwell lighting too, but shipping is too expensive to Canada.

You can't go wrong with them though.

I know people that have used them.

I used them in my last car (2000 Ford Taurus) used 19.5" strip light for each footwell and it was extremely bright. I can only imagine how bright the 3 chip led strips would look like, being that they have 4x luminous intensity

5000k are the whitest, 6000k have a slight blueish tint to them. either one will look great.

No. 4300/5000K all the way.

6000K gets a thumbs down from me.

6000K is less lumens, meaning less light output than stock 4300 or aftermarket 5000ks.

Many misinformed people assume "The higher the K rating of the HID kit, the brighter it will be"

WRONG.

Nothing is brighter than 4300K/5000K in terms of LUMENS and USABLE LIGHT.

6000K is already a downgrade compared to stock 4300K hids in brightness. Anything past 6000K (ie 8000K, 12000K) is just worse.

Seems like all the cool kids on the block rock the 6000Ks though

If you want the "brightest" of the spectrum stay oem. There is a reason Acura, Lexus, Mercedes, use 4300.

Very true I had 8000k on my Civic Si and useable light was down, 5000k are the best bet in this case. However 6000k aren't that bad, if you consider we do have HIDs and not halogens.
Drove my Tahoe the other night with 5150k xenon/halogen bulbs and I could see anything.

Any HIDS on V-leds are even on par with any other of the 'top brands'. If you're going to spend money on bulbs buy Morimotos (TFS/TheRetrofitSource), Phillips 85122+ for better than OEM output (more lumens -- TFS --- only in 4.3k), or CBI bulbs which are $200 but are the best in the business (5k - more lumens than the 85122+ -- expensive).

+1, I like those on the outer door handle too. I'm guessing it would be more work than I would be into, but I'm in for more info on it.

Yes it does, ^^^ That should be easy, 3M sticky back and some longer wires to run through rubber door harness, then hide wires under carpet, should be very easy. IMO.

Hate to sound lazy but would someone be able to help me out in picking LED dome lights, LED door lights, and new HID headlights for my 07 type-s? I simply don't have the time right now with studying to do the research and want to get them now while this sale is going on. I'm looking for the BRIGHTEST and WHITEST for all of the above mentioned.

If anyone is on Skype, add me - jhoffyx22. Thank you!
