I could not have done this with out help from you guys... The pics I took were in a parking deck I will take some more tonight... They do look wicked....

I put the 10k HIDs in and 9 bulb LED in for the 7443s.

Fog lights are next... waiting for them to arrive. :roll:

Let me know how your 9-bulb led works out! I had them installed and they burnt out in less than one day. Apparently they are not built for always on, only flashers.

BTW: It looks awesome!

Which 9 bulb LEDs are you using, Vivid?

LEDs last practically forever; the only reason they would go out is if they aren't set up right for the amount of power supplied.

Can you post a link to where I can buy these leds, I was giving up on the leds and going to use the Polar Gs or PIAA Extreme white...

Thanks

These are the ones I used, 1 fried in 3 hours

this is that site that I got them from. I just realized that I was meant to get the 15 bulb ones and I was sent the 9 bulb ones... that sucks... I should look an invoices and the product to make sure...

I will leave them switched on for the next few days during day time to see how they fair

I posted that website before...superbrightleds.com

Anyways, their LEds are cheaply priced, shipping is fast, and the leds are not just arranged on a circle. They also include radially mounted leds within the bulbs.

BTW, after installing the headlights do you have to reaim them?

I think you are ment to but I went up to a wall and they looked fine and not out of wack... It might have been your post that I saw for the LEDs... they look really nice apart from I paid for 15 bulbs and got 9 I will call them monday and get it sorted out.

Good question on the re-aim. I'll check them before and after I replace mine. The aiming mechanism in the FX is built into the housing, though, so I wouldn't think just swapping bulbs would neccessitate re-aiming them, but we'll see.

 

[mushutofu]

I read that they needed to be re-aimed but I was thinking the same thing in that its the housing that actually moves and since we are not messing with that we probably wont need to re-aim the HIDS. But, I would hate to have 10K beams blinding poor oncoming traffic where one of them might happen to be a cop.

BTW, thanks for posting the comparo pics. Those pics actually swayed my final decision.

Outstanding pics mate! Nice job -- lights look sick!

looks good vivid. :lol: ahh, no wonder it didn't completely match the 10k. HID, but still look alot better than the stock one

I guess it depends on how rough when ppl install the new HID bulb. I checked the aim leveler prior the installation and again after the installation, no change. :lol:

Ordered the 9 LEDS will keep the 8K so what do you have for fog..saw HID fogs somewhere???

 

[Vivid]

Don’t think you can do a true HID fog (does not have the right ballast) but you can get whiter fogs...

Righ now I just have the stock fogs in but I am going to try PIAA hyper white or extreme white something like that... I am also getting a set of PlasmaGlow and will see which it whiter...

I will post when I have tried them. Hopefully my LEDs will be switch to the 15 bulbs in the not to distant future.

I do have one qu when I was changing the 7443 I broke one of the platic clips that holds the bulb in place, can I get a replacement at any auto store or do I need to stop by my dealer?

PIAA sells HID fog light kits. Pretty expesive though.

Piaa extreme white dont even come close to the 10k, dont waste you time or money. I m happy with the Piaas but they just dont compliment the 10ks. I will switch them as soon as I decide what I what or what looks better. If you can find the GTX Piaas in the fog/driving light number, those look better than the Extreme White.

Vivid - Nice setup and I would like to have the same... if you dont mind . Where can I buy the HID bulbs? and how much?.

Sweet45 - How is your HID bulb holding up? No burn-outs yet?

Just that my experience with aftermarket headlight bulbs is that they only last up to 3-4 months or so.

Thanks.

 

[Vivid]

I have to thank My-Sweat45 for the info on the HIDs... They just look wicked while driving… I will PM you the guys email addy. PayPal him the $ and within a few days they arrive.

But both my HIDs and LEDs are holding up very well, now the search for matching or at least close to matching fog lights.
