New lights *pics*

[geoff5093]

I wasnt too fond of the yellowish stock bulbs, so I replaced them with Nokya 7000K H11 100W bulbs. I know people say that anything over 4300K you start loosing brightness, but these have a higher output (I think), but still light up perfectly fine for low-beams. Anyways, here are some pics (it looks like theres alot of glare, but there really isnt any glare at all)

Geoff5093,
Go for HID kit...I got the 6000K kit now...Loving every minutes of it. Once you HID...you will never go back. he..he..he

100W is a bad idea. You're gonna melt your harnesses.

Geoff5093,
I just want to add one important note here.
If you want an "non-pro" HID then go with a HID kit like I did.
But if you want a "real" and professional HID then go with retrofit HID. And the person to talk to about retrofit HID is white3chocolate.
It's your choice because it's your car.

I concur to that 100W idea, the harness will melt...

[geoff5093]

I'll leave the lights on for a bit then feel around the harness to make sure everything is fine, if its not then i'll just take them out.

And I know an HID kit would be better, but these lights were under $20, so i wanted to give them a try, lol.

Looks great man, nice job.

[geoff5093]

Thanks Tuner!

I turned the lights on for 10 minutes, and the headlight housing got a little warm, but not hot. But it did the same thing with the stock bulbs, so thats normal.

And everything around the bulb base, harness, and back of the headlight housing was cool. Only the rubber piece around the bulb was a tad warm, but thats probably normal as well.

Those look really nice! Now lets see what it looks like with matching fog lights?

save urself the headache and take them out. 100w will melt the harness. replacing the harness will cost you more...hundreds more.

[Explicitstylz96]

but they do look nice!! lol.

holy milk jugs! haha lights look good tho!
if your harnesses melt you can always get a set of heavy duty ones to replace it

[geoff5093]

When you say the harness could melt, do you mean that it would get so hot that it would physically start to melt, or that the wires will start to burn out or something? Because I had the lights on for 10 minutes and they didnt even get warm.
