But you can get the headlight housing with the HID and harness. At first the Japanese headlight and HID does not fit our use because of the different driver position side, but now Taiwan has the same driver position, so the problem solved?

Ah, now a complete assembly would be awesome!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
