What did you do to the G today?

You will notice an immediate difference. The back end of my car was squirmy all over the place before and is just a solid planted feel now.

But if you consider occasions when you enter a tunnel or something like that, instant light can be appreciated. Also when flashing the high beam, compared to bi-xenon with HID for highs.

Swapped the upper intake tubes for Mishimoto ones. The rubber piece that tightens to the throttle body where the hose clamp goes was slit, causing a higher than normal idle on cold starts. Fits good, sounds good, and a little more throaty when I get into it. $110 bucks beats a whole new system at $400+

This is the light output, it does not scatter nor dazzle oncoming drivers.

Additionally, they cost far less and are simply plug and play vs mounting/connecting ballasts etc.

I’m trying to keep you both from running into some deer. Put back in the bulbs that the car was designed for. Brad, that output is bad, and if you compared a new HIR bulb to the LED you would see your lost width and output. Some light above the horizon is okay, to see road signs and such.

These bulbs are the cheapest ones I had - domestic chip on board, low quality.
I know a new HID bulb and projector would perform much better, but that would be a small project compared to drop in LED's. All that matters is these LED's perform better than the halogens they replaced and without causing glare to oncoming drivers. I'm not trying to make everyone buy LED lights I'm just saying they function better than the oem halogens in the reflector housing and that they're 100% plug and play. What I'm intrigued with is to find out how long they'll last.
The one's I have fitted now are much better. I'm trying to get a decent camera so I can get good pictures.
I saw a G37 today and thought the exact same thing
