lmao!!!

 

Looks like you're doing your own headlight mod without getting someone to do it for you. Props!
We should meet up sometime for a photoshoot =]

 

Hey guys...sorry about the delay on the pictures...the pictures didn't turn out too great really bad camera and i still need to wash the headlights still have the dirt from the snow but here it is.
















Let me know what you guys think....

 

Not bad!

 

The bulb size i got was the 7443 switchbacks with the resistors....i actually purchased it from autolumination.com....I've heard good reviews about them but i've heard good thing about v-leds...i guess its all personal preference

 

04komodo....definitelyy we should meet up.. i was actually speaking to ladiezman about that too

 

Do you have any other angles of lights?

And about meeting up.
I venture off to Toronto/Sauga/GTA quite often. =]

 

yo komodo i say nolmtz hook us up with a fog light installation then well drop a GTA SSM WDP and NBP photoshoot on acurazine =D

oh yea dai nolmtz headlights looking amazing bro, defn have to see ure car and those headlights in person soon

 

Hahah. I'm working on my own fogs at the moment.
I'd be the odd one out... as my TL is a-spec less =[

 

i know bro u need to get on that asap

 

<------welcome to the club

 

No Lmtz what kind of HID bulb are you running? Your HID matches the switchbacks perfectly....

 

Thanks AntraciteAspec! I linked to them and purchased mine!

 

AntraciteAspec....I'm using the 6000k philips HIDs...i was pretty surprised too how much they matched

elkechon.....thanks loll....im loving those headlights...i've always wanted the ones with 2 projectors just didn't have the money to get themm

 

Great job No Lmtz...awesome mod!

 

Very nice. How did you install the LED strip?

 

Beautiful lighting. Like BigTL said ^ how'd you get them in there?

 

Dude hasn't visited Acurazine since 2009...

 

Not bad, looks nice

 

O my bad lol I'm new here and didn't check that

 

is there any difference as to the fit of the 48 leds or 60 leds bulb???

 

^^^ holy bump batman !!!

well 60 leds will be brighter....I am gonna put my 60-60 switchbacks from Autolumination on sale....going a different route and procrastinating putting it on sale...

 

i just e-mailed autolumination to ask if their 60-60 LED is 5k or 6k white.

if it's 5k white than i'm interested in your set... but is your bulb 1157 or 7443?

i have the base, so i'll need 7443

 

7443

i think they are 5K coz they dont have a blue tint to it....the 6K's have a little bluish tint....my 6K HID headlights are bluer than my switchbacks....

either way wait for what they say and i will put up a for sale thread....

 

You know, even though they say its 6k-7k white, if you put it up for sale i'm still interested.

The current switchbacks I have are also 60 LED, but only 30 light up white when in parking light mode. When the turn signal is engaged, the 30 white LEDs turn off, and the 30 amber LEDs turn on.

All 60 LEDs are never lit at the same time, so even though its a 60-LED switchback, only 30 are amber and the other 30 are white, so brightness isn't that great during day time.

I believe having a switchback that has all 60 LEDs lit up white or amber will be much brighter for daytime use.

These are exactly how mines work. Also notice how the "white" looks when it's in 'driving mode'. Definitely has a bluish hue (6k)



They stick out like a sore thumb when I have my headlights turned on. Real mismatch between the 2 colors.

 

Will I get the 1157 if I have a base TL but with the Type-S headlights?

 

Hmm that's a good question.

I don't know exactly what goes on in a base headlight to type-s headlight swap, but if you also took the bulb connectors from the type-s headlights than I would assume that you would need 1157 bulbs because that's the connector that the type-s uses..

If you kept your base bulb connectors than it should be 7443.

But like I said, I never done a type-s headlight swap before so I don't know if swapping bulb connectors is part of the process or not.

A really easy way to tell is to just go out to your car and just get 1 of your turn signal bulbs out.

If the socket on the end of the light bulb looks round (circular) like this than its 1157


If its flat like the one in the picture below than you'll need 7443

 

I thought all 07-08 TL's (base and Type-S) used 1157 bulbs...

 

^^^they are.

 

Taken from the 3G Garage:



Front turn signals:
04: 7443
05: 7443
06: 7443
07 base: 7443
07 Type S: 1157
08 base : 7443
08 Type S: 1157

Fogs for 04-06 models use 9006 bulbs.
Fogs for 07-08 and Type S models use H8 (35w stock wattage)
