I'm having some custom headlights made for me and I was just wondering if I should leave the 06 sides with no lights on them or if I should have the 04 sidemarkers fabricated on the 06 lights with CCFL tubes?

 

leave the 06's without the clearance strip...looks much better imo

 

I was all about the CCFL sidemarkers but now i'm not liking them so much anymore...

 

by side markers you DO mean the clearance strip on 03-05 lights right? Not the side markers on the bumper...

 

yeah, the clearance strips sorry

 

definitely do the ccfl on the clearance strips, imo. it will look hott!

 

i hate to burst your bubble, but there's no room behind the shroud to put a ccfl there. if you open up the lights, you'll notice that the mount for the projector will prevent u from putting a tube light in there. that's why you see most modded 06 headlights either use LEDs or panel lights. But you can attempt it.

 

I think IvoryGT made a pair of '06 headlights with custom clearance strips. His just cut 'em out and made a lil' sliver for the light to shine through. Looked alright. But, I like the '06 without the CCFL. Looks cleaner, IMO.

 

If you want CCFL clearance strips, I would opt to have projectors retrofitted into a set of 03-05 headlights rather than retroing CCFL's into the 06's. IMO you end up with a cleaner install and better light distribution

 

I did use CCFL in these...but they were PITA and too bright.

 

what is CCFL ?

thanks

 

Cold Cathode Florescent Lamp

thin glass tubes paired with iqnitors for extremely bright output, commonly seen on computer cases or aftermarket Angel Eyes

 

i ordered the ccfl lights from some web link on here and they sent a igniter with four thin glass tubes but they were like 10" and they proke in the box. are they suposed to be sealed or will they light with broken tips. and how can i make my side marker strips on the headlight brighter and fuller

 

I had the same problem, one of my CCFL tubes was broken. Got a new set now. Now, im not sure I want to use them as Im gettin some 06 projectors. Lemme know if you need some CCFL tubes...haha

 

sweet, am i correct that the 06 projectors dont have the side clearence lights
