something I forgot to mention. Before, my lights would get brighter when I hit the accelerator and dim out a little when I didn't hit the gas...Noe they stay constantly bright the whole time... It's incredible how crips and clear everything looks now...

cool so how is the tint on those, and another question what if you have a big system and the lights before would dim when your idling would this one do the same thing even though the draw less watts.

They don't dim at all... they used to before with my system. The tint is a blueish whiteish color. I would compare them to my girl's Audi A4. They are almost identical to hers tint-wise.

oops, my gangsta came out in me.. I figured since the lights were blue......

cool i might just have to buy these also cause since it take lets watts that means my system wont dim my light when i am sitting at a light hopefully if not oh well at least there really nice lights.

Thanks, also notice how my sidemarkers look yellow next to it...lol

As I said, these things look way brighter and nicer in person. And there is no glare in person either. That glare comes mainly due to the camera..

3) How was the install?

Thanks JP. BTW I had a problem when first installing these @ FordFasterr's house. One light didn't work. Anyway, to make a long story short. I had bent one of the little prongs on the ballast where you connect the harness. I called Uneek right away and told him the situation. He told me to Express mail him that light with the ballast and he would express mail me a new one right back and re-imburse me the shipping. He was a little concerned though cuz he said all products are tested before being shipped out. Anyway, I tried again on saturday and found out I had caused the problem so I bent it slightly back into place and viola..I got HID's I called him and told him they were good to go...

So basically I just wanted to say the service was outstanding and he didn't even hesitate to replace the "non-working" light. Good thing they didn't have to.. I give it 2 thumbs up.. :nosthumbs

They look very nice, what did you use to cut the hole in the back of your dust covers on your headlights? I am not the most tool-inclined man and would probably end up using a fork if I thought it might work.

LMFAO.....fork......classic.

I think most people are using small rotary drills, at least, that's what I'm planning for. You just want to make sure it's large enough to get the harness wires thru, yet small enough to patch up to make sure moisture stays out.

Beautiful, that's all I can say...

I'm speechless...

Except come the beginning of next year, you'll be out done :)

10K (only for the blue, to match the car) :)

They say that 10000K is more purple but these are already on the verge of getting there.....These actually look more blue in person as well. not that much more blue but a little bit. I think 8000K would be just fine for you...

Have you had anyone flash there high beams at your or anything for them being too bright. I have heard of people having problems with glaring and what not when you put HID bulbs in housings that are not meant for HIDS.

Actually no. They don't give out any glare at all...as I said before, the pics don't do it much justice. Most of the glare there is due to the camera.

Sorry, lol it's that I have no patience..lol


BTW, I usually car pool to work with my girl. She takes the car to her job since it's free for her. When she came to pick me up last night, I almost busted seeing my car driving up the road with my HID's

I highly recommend them!!! :D

I took the liberty of correcting, sorry pointing out some grammatical errors in your sentence, hope you dont mind...but again the HIDs do look great.

how do the fogs look with the hids?

DAILLESTWUN
12-20-2005, 10:36 AM
Well they don't look bad at all. Kinda yellowish but oh well. I know, I forgot to turn them on. It's that I barely ever use them cuz my drivers side is having a problem. everytime I hit a bump it turns off. hit another bump, it turns on..I might have not connectied it right. but I don't want to go through that mission since I'm getting my bodykit put on some day lol

Huh weird mine is the same way, if it goes out I just slap the bumper next to it and it comes back on. Sometimes it stays on other times it goes out in a minute or two. What year is your car again?

ROFL.... I had this same problem with my fog lights on my 02 GT. I used to get out of the car and kick the bumper till they came back on. Finally, I just broke down last week and took off the entire front bumper, disassembled and reassembled the fog light unit and it's working great now. But, I've decided to order the KSPEC projector fogs next week anyway....so, I'll be taking the bumper off again in about 2-3 weeks.

Your headlights look awesome...... did you get any hot spots ? If so I have a fix. the reason we get hot spot is because the sheild that is suppost to direct the light cant direct that kind of output. I did some testing on a diet coca cola can sheild and the light output was way way bettter then using just the stock glare shield. and im using a d2s bulb which is designed for a projector . If you intrested in the plans for my mod glare shield leave me a msg. again awesome lights!!!!!

You shouldn't get hot spots the light out put is 1000x more but the total amount of heat isn't much different. Make sure that you get all of your lights aimed it makes a world of difference. You can't just plop new bulbs in every one is diffrent with non-oem bulbs most companys don't take the time to make sure everything iwth the bulb is 100% most shops can aim your bulbs for less then 40 bucks and 15min. Just pulling up to a wall and leveling them out isn't good enough. Also this is where glare and that comes from and the blinding of everyone on the road.

They actually came out real nice. i'm not really sure what you guys mean about hot spots though... :confused:
