So my lights finally came in from ddmtuning today (lol), so I decided to install them and take some pictures. I might do a DIY eventually but don't have enough spare time right now.
SILLY QUESTION:The retaining screw that supposedly keeps the bracket that holds the factory xenon bulbs in place fell into the housing. What is the easiest way to get this out? LOL.

Anyways.. here are the pics (courtesy of my iphone)!



The LED Tails! I absolutely love these. (It's a video, click on it to go to photobucket to watch it)



An old fog LED (9006) and the new HID bulb with the ballast dangling behind it.



This is NOT where I ended up mounting the ballast(s), this is just a reference pic in case anyone was interested. I ended up mounting them on the old airfilter box mounting points.



I love this picture. These are after the install of the 6k HID in the headlight. Yes those are 6k parking lights (from v-leds)


A picture of the left headlight housing with all bulbs installed (I think the xenons were warmed up?)



Visibility (I was standing outside the driver's compartment)



Visibility (A few feet in front of the vehicle (maybe 10ft?)) It's as bright as day! Disregard my work outfit


Note: I know they appear blue in the first pictures, but I believe that is because they were first installed and not warmed up/broken in yet. As you can see from the last pictures, the bulbs are almost the same shade as the factory bulbs.

Feel free to ask questions -

 

Cool!! So you went with HID on the fog lights! I currently have LEDs from V-Leds.com. 5K. not that bright but they just for show! Nice work.

 

Yea I've had their 6k and 5k's, they make a nice touch. These HIDs are definitely an upgrade but you gotta be careful with other drivers (don't wanna blind em). Install wasn't even close to what I was expecting; It was totally straight-forward, though I definitely benefited from spotting this:http://www.moodym.com/articles/G-hid-replace.shtml

 

Cool, I am hoping to upgrade to 5000k in the future! To my knowledge stock is 4300k. So i am looking for pure white color! I know 6000k has a hint of blue! Maybe add a HID on the fake fogs of 5000k too! and If I ever get custom fogs down there go with 5000k too! lol

 

the upgraded parking lights are sweet, make a huge difference, I need to do this!

 

Do my eyes deceive or are your rear turn signals amber? I ordered the JDM Skyline tails which have the amber indicator.

 

@Salv: you definitely should sir!

@drive : The parking lights sure are nice but make sure, if you choose to upgrade them, to not go too blue as legally the indicators are supposed to be amber. You don't wanna attract the wrong attention.

@Solo_G: The LEDs that I installed are red. They may appear to be amber because of the red + the housing. If one wanted a more amber glow then they could order the amber LEDs (I ordered red because I heard the red housing would eliminate an orange glow, but who knows?)

 

looks dope how much did u spend?

 

Yeah, the red housing would def overpower the amber color. In my old Accord, I added red bulbs in the tails to get rid of the amber signal, and on my G I've done (kinda) the opposite. $400 to get amber turn signals is a little ridiculous on my budget, but my ex gf got em for me! ...and then she wanted me to return them when we broke up a few months later BWAHAHAHA

 

the fks up with ur shoes and pink laces lol

 

looking good!

 

@solo g: that's funny hahaha!

@saywat: I wear them when I plan on getting dirty, lol

@dj: thanks man!


I might revert to my old filament rear turn signals because I'm getting hyper blinkers and I don't wanna mess with the wiring.

 

Has anyone else done this? I have an HID kit from my old car sitting in the garage and i'm thinking about throwing it in the fogs on my G i just bought...
