Looking good! How do you like the morimotos?

 

^ I like them a lot. The Phillips I hated the color, they almost have that halogen look but they have great output. The output seems pretty comparable but the 5k color looks better with the switchbacks and halos. I also really love the flicker the zkwr lens puts off on street signs .

 

Nice updated pics.

 

Car looks great, Matt. How much did you end up paying for the roof spoiler, source?


Hate to see you switch from the Phillips as the color might be off but people love the output.

If you want to retain the output intensity but gain color then the new Osram CBIs are a good choice. A little pricey but you get 5000k color with 3200 lumens

 

Very nice....love the pix !!!

 

Thanks, ordered the roof spoiler from omebmwshop off Ebay for around 70 or so. I may end up going with the Osrams, I have noticed after a couple times of night driving the Morimoto bulbs don't have the output the Phillips do. By the end I'm going to have every brand of HL bulb sitting in my garage from swapping them out so much to find the perfect one

 

headlights look sick man love the color

 

No progress just a pic :p

 

AWESOME picture

 

Beautiful picture!

 

Thanks guys!

 

Dude sweet progress! The pictures get better and better. What mods are you going for next? Will you finish the A-Spec kit and get the rear and side skirts?

 

Your new Avatar!

 

Definitely made the car look better Matt. I too have an 08 base CBP and in the works of modding.

Just waiting on more paychecks for the long list of mods yet to come lol

 

Thanks, Yea I'm pretty much in the same boat. Been trying to work lots of OT so I can finish everything I wanna do

Ya that's the next upcoming plan finish the aspec and get a catback. Going to get the type s rear aspec so I can fit the quad tips and kinda thinking of doing the XLR8 resonated setup for exhaust

Good idea Steve, think I will make it my Avatar

 

I was going to say the same, amazing progress and def new avatar. For being new to the DSLR game, you've got quite the eye...great shots.

 

beautiful scene, where is this?

 

In Oregon heading towards Mt.Hood on a back country road.

 

Looks good Matt!

 

 

Sooo. I've went thru about 3 Ebay hid fog kits now and finally got fed up so I bit the bullet and bought the Morimoto elite kit from the trusted guys @ The Retrofit Source. Which I highly recommend, I've had nothing but great experiences with those guys.Here is the kit ..

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...oducts_id=3952

The first thing I noticed is the quality but as should be expected for $150 vs $40 or 50 for the ebay kits. The ballasts are noticeably heavier over the ebay ballast which is a great sign . Relay harness is also very nice as are the bulbs. So i ripped out the old harness and put the new one in. The other thing I noticed is the color of these 3k bulbs are actually yellow and not neon green like the ebay kits produced so that's cool. This time around I actually mounted the ballast instead of just letting them dangle lol . Just a couple pics of the kit and where I mounted them. Ill upload some pics tomorrow of the light output.



The passenger side was a little tricky to find where to mount so I ended up taking off the horn and mounting it right behind it. worked out ok since your limited to options on that side.

 

Nice install.

 

More light? Shyyyttt

I thought the new 85122+ bulbs with the ZKW-r lenses would have done it for you, Matt.

 

^ They did do it for me for the HL, but needed some decent fog lights and thank you again JnC for the work you did. Still extremely happy with the way they turned out and the fantastic output.

 

Bringing out the stock winter wheels and just bought 4 cans of black plasti dip.. To be continued.....

 

Nice progress! Car looks great! What did you ever do with the intake touching the back of the fog light?

 

 

Hit a deer this morning on my way home from work goin 45mph

 

Oh no , sorry to see that, Matt. Doesnt look too bad as I have seen some horrific results of a deer + front of the 3G. A new hood, bumper, grill, shrouding, may be the radiator? Glad you are ok though.

 

Damn that was a big deer! Sorry about your TL.

 

Damn! Sorry to see.

 

ouch...could be time for a type-s front bumper...

 

 

Damn!! Glad you're okay man. Looks like your headlights weren't touched at all either

 

 

Ouch....sorry to see that Matt.
