The high beams are inverted eBay fog lights (upside down and mounted on opposite sides). I swapped out the H11 bulb for the much brighter H9. This requires some tricky modification of the bulb with a Dremel.

Doc Zaius · 01-16-2007, 08:29 AM

hahahahhaah... love the music!!

But seriously... looks great!

What kind of wattage are the H9 bulbs pulling now instead of the H11's?

Violin · 01-16-2007, 10:48 AM

Extra cheesey, isn't it?

The H9 is a 65 watt bulb with 2,100 lumens vs. the 55 watt H11 that only puts out 1,350 lumens.

The housing does get hotter - I tested it with the lamp on for about 5 minutes - so it might not be acceptable for fog lamp use. I only use my high beams for a couple of minutes at a clip, so it's fine.

Here we go. I'll take more when the weather gets nicer.

Violin · 01-16-2007, 11:37 AM

I took a lot of photos of the retrofit process. I'll write up something when I get time, but don't expect a "how to". Go to the forums at hidplanet.com for that.

Its a bugs life baby, and i freakin love it Rob!!!!!

ChinoCharles · 01-16-2007, 02:48 PM

Dude, I don't even know what to say. That is beautiful.

ChinoCharles · 01-16-2007, 03:09 PM

And by the way, screw legality... your orange side reflector needs to die now. Your car would look painfully clean without them.

Violin · 01-16-2007, 03:15 PM

That's really easy to take out, but they do target that one 'round here.

I don't really need to attract the attention what with the mobile meth lab in my hatch and all the gun running I do.

ChinoCharles · 01-16-2007, 03:20 PM

JUST SAY NO! AND FUCK THE NRA!

Blenjar · 01-16-2007, 03:22 PM

Violin · 01-16-2007, 04:34 PM

Meth or HIDs?

ChinoCharles · 01-16-2007, 08:00 PM

Haha, hey it is a good question... would you be willing to modify someones stock headlights with the same setup you have? I know I don't want to do all that work.

Blenjar · 01-16-2007, 09:39 PM

HIDs..what's meth?

eTiMaGo · 01-17-2007, 05:00 AM

Dude that just plain ROCKS!

Get rid of the orange reflectors, maybe paint the housing matte black (the stock reflector area looks kinda weird and unnecessary now)
