I just received my Nokya HB3/9005 7000K Arctic White S1. Installation took 10mins. I will have to wait till tonight to see anything. Here is a picture of it with the DRL. It's really hard to see it since its so bright out. I will post more pictures of it tonight.

Looks good, can't wait to see the night time pics! If you have before and after as well that would be awesome. Where did you buy yours from?

kowloonsniperhk

I bought it from pitstop_tuning on ebay for 15.99 shipped. I ordered it on Thursday night and just received it this morning. I will post before and after or at least leave the stock one on and have the other side for a comparison. Its not that hard for me to put the stock one back on heh.

in for night pics.

And now for the night pictures. Sorry for the point and shoot pictures but don't have my SLR with me right now. When the DRLs are on, the pictures make them whiter than they appear to the eye. In person, they Nokya ones are dimmer than the OEM ones. Anyways when you put the high beams on, the Nokya basically blends in with the OEM HIDs. Too bad that when you put your high beams on, it automatically turns off the Fogs, if i remember correctly you can't have more than four lights running at the same time.



These are the DRLs. the one of the right is the Nokya, the one of the left is the OEM. In person, it's not that big of a differnce. just dimmer.

Looks awesome! How was the difficulty installing these Nokyas?

kowloonsniperhk

extremely easy. took 10 mins. for the driver side you have to unscrew two plastic screws i believe is the air duct, and basically pull the plug off from the bulb. Turn the bulb counterclockwise and pull out and just put the aftermarket one in. For the passenger side, you just have to pull the coolant out which slides right out and just do the same.

kalmario

I was looking at the eBay account you reffered and it also offers fogs? What are your opinons on swapping the OEM fogs with the Nokyas?

kowloonsniperhk

Well if you get Nokya to replace your OEM, i assume you want to change the color? I guess do you want style or function? Get 3k which is yellow for function. Get the 7k white ones for style.

I have HID fogs at 3k. They are extremely bright and I love em.

cmasterchoe

nice nice nice! If it's as easy as you say I may have to do the conversion as well.

kowloonsniperhk

trust me its easy. its just changing out the bulb. if not refer to owner's manual lol

very nice thread! the bulbs look great and I like the thoroughness of your pics and explanations haha gjob

kowloonsniperhk

Thanks! just trying to help out heh. I messed up in ordering the wrong bulb type since I thought it would be the same as the 1G TSX.

kalmario

One more concern, how do the Nokyas look during the daytime?

kowloonsniperhk

well the DRLs in the day look a bit dimmer than the OEM DRLs. I dont know about high beams in the morning since I don't drive with high beams on in the morning lol

brownb01

very nice! would you say the high beams are better than OEM? I do a lot of night driving down county roads....I must have good high beams.

also...do you know if there is any way to disable the DRL's? like cut a wire or something? I hate those things!!

kowloonsniperhk

They are way better than OEM when you use the high beams at night. It blends in very well with the OEM HIDs. There probably is but I won't do it. Actually im trying to figure out a way to keep my fogs on when I turn on my HIDs. That would be some major light output

frank1123

looks good, your license plate is kick ass too!

kowloonsniperhk

thanks!

Looks good for hid removal help heres a video.

Some notes the hid screw cover needs either a small flat head screwdriver, but you can easily strip it out I never reinstalled it had no problems of condensation.

Or use an star allen key.

nice

You said that your 7k high beams and DRL lights match well with the OEM HIDs correct? Does that mean the OEM HIDs are 7k as well? and are the high beams different bulbs than the DRL? thanks

kowloonsniperhk

OEM HIDs are usually in the 4300K-6000K range...its not an exact match and you can still tell a difference since my high beams are still halogen. When in DRL, the light color is the same as your DRLs right now

mtdew456

Based on the 5k HID fogs I just installed. I would have to say that the OEM HID color is definitely 4300k - 4500k.

Tapwave

Can someone help me find a good 4300k HID kit that fits into 9005/HB3 bulbs?

Drls are a great simple mod. I did yellows in mine and the reflection in the headlight housing looks great, lights up a great deep yellow

mrdanny1990

hey guys would these bulbs work with jus the pins, or would i need the ones like above with the full black plastic clip/adaptor? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

brownb01

Is there anyway to replace these bulbs and get rid of the Daytime lights? I hate those freaking things.

acuratsx2010

Yes, you can remove the fuse for the DRL. Check your owners' manual to see if it's the one inside or the one under the hood. More than likely it will be the one located inside.

kowloonsniperhk: Those are the 100 watt bulbs right? i was reading another post that was saying the DRL/HB bulbs are 65 watts. Does the HB3 kit reduce the wattage to the bulb? I'm a little confused

kowloonsniperhk

i think they were 80watt if I remember correctly. I don't have the box with me. But I have had them on since March 09 and they haven't failed me yet.

defconskylude

my nokya yellow 9005 80 watt DRL bulb just blew out on me. lasted about less than a year. i replaced it with the same brand and color but this time i went with a 65 watt

ed_423

kowloon i think i have the samea s you, execpt i think mine is 65 watts.

also, is urs white in the day time? cuz when i tkae pics with it it looks white, but looking at it in real life its not that white..a bit yellowish in daytime, a lil mroe white at night. which is useless since night time i'd use my headlights

kowloonsniperhk

nope mine are like a lighter shade of our OEM DRLs. im still trying to find one that will make it white but no go down the LED route since I need my high beams, for signaling. lol

looks good bredda

I installed Nokya Hyper Yellows a couple of months ago. No issues so far. They really set the car apart from the rest. They look great when the car is parked too as the yellow bulb colors the entire housing. Ebay $19.99.
