new headlights and misc

Hey everyone


Well, for starters I really like the HID look on these cars. I've been looking through different pictures of the peoples cars who post here. very nice

Honestly though, I do not feel like dropping $230 for the fusion HID kit for my 2000 LS sport. Little much for my wallet at the moment.

So today I was looking at the silverstar lights, Going to replace the low beams first. Looking for something bright with a nice color tint too it. I figure the SilveStars would be the closest resemblance.

Also, Im picking up the 03-04 grill for my car from LSKoncepts. I think this will make my car a little sharper From there mods to come! ( Intake )

Let me know of personal opinions and experiences etc.

Go with HOEN bulbs if you want to make it look closest to an HID.

Cam thanks!

I specifically like your cars looks, very slick. Must be the fresh paint?

Question in regards to the HOEN bulbs though. Per LSKoncepts website, it states in the description that the wire harness is required for the low beams, is it a direct need? Or can that wait.

u must get the upgraded wires. the hoen run on higher wattage

IMHO i think you should just get a cheap HID kid on ebay untill you can afford the HID setup that you prefer. becuase i think you may end up spending close to the cost of the ebay HID kits. just throwing ideas out there.

can you do this to get brighter tail light bulbs? to help out with tinted tails?

 

[rickztahone]

i'm not sure to be honest. but i might assume that there are bulbs that might be brighter, just my thought, not factual

 

[babbster]

yea im not sure either but i will have to look into that becuase it would take alot of legal trouble out of tinted tail lights

HAve you looked at the LED style tail lights? I think Ken has the on LSKustoms. I would think they're brighter than stock

no i havent seen them, are they just led bulbs, or a whole replacement set up. one concern i have about led's is that they seem to stay on after the car is off, very very dim but still on ( i think it has something to do with the small amount of power they need that they can still draw some power even when the car is off) i have led reverse lights and license plate lights and they stay on very dim even when my car has been off for an hr. i might need a "load resister"?

Thanks for the responses.


I'll look into an HID kit later on. I just want something with a cleaner light and a brighter one

I went ahead and ordered the HOEN low beam with the adapters.


However, Now im looking into what to get for high beams. I live in florida, and dont need the high beams alot, but want something with clean light and a good color

Suggestions? Go with the HOEN for high beam, or do SilverStar

2 things: I can't remember the size of our taillight bulbs and I noticed I put LSKustoms instead of LSKoncepts.....these long days are getting to me . Anyways here's a link http://www.lskoncepts.com/store/lighting-c-285.php
