Hey Everyone,

I've been wanting to do mods on my headlight and finally have the money. I have a few ideas in mind, but wanted to get some opinions. I have a 05 coupe. Here are my ideas:

1) I know that 05 have d2s bulbs and if I change to HID (Phillips maybe, d2r) would that be the same as the 06 projector? since 06 uses d2r or no? I also want to do the demon eye kit mod.

2) Get the 06 headlights, had a lot of good deals lately, do the clearance strip mod, and demon eye kit.

Those are the major mod that I want to do, but I have also seen guys change the bulbs of the clearance strip so I would be bright/different color.

What you guys think?

 

you have d2r bulbs

06+ headlights use d2s bulbs

forget both those options and pay someone like ivortygt to do a retrofit with your 05 housings.

BTW - you shouldve posted this in the lighting forum

 

i live in hawaii and im kind of paranoid about shipping things to somebody. no offense though what so ever.

oh did i get the bulbs mixed up then. sorry.

 

You already have HID's so your first option is kind of out. It still won't be the same as the 06 projectors though, so I say upgrade to the 06's if projectors are important to you, or retrofit some projectors into your 05's

 

thanks, ill post it in the lightning then Hero, thanks.

 

you can modify your old bulbs to fit by grinding out a section in the base of the bulb, if you look there is a notch that is etched into the base next to the existing notch, just take a dremell and carve it out

 

^^^ guy who knows his ****..lol

 

^ It's not hard to know especially when there's a gazillion posts in regards to shaving the bulbs. lol
