Are these tail lights not too bright? Anyone have pics of the tail lights on the car? The ones on clear corners look about right. How do you guys keep the LEDs from blinding the fuck out of people.

Definitely subscribing. Will post up my retro fit when I get done with them

Osram Nightbreakers
Phillips Extreme
Eiko Supreme

Tried them all except the Phillips.
Eiko and Osrams were awesome.

I don't like the SilverStars because of the service life. I've yet to have them last longer than 1-1.5yrs

I've been on the same SilverStars for the past 4years. Never really had an issue with them, then again I never really do a lot of night time driving.

You want them to blind the ---- outta people, give them more of a reason to stop further back and not hit you, or just even blind them at a stoplight while they blind you. Haha, fuck em man, they're tail lights.

Hmm. I wouldn't say I do a lot of night driving but I would say at least 20hrs a week.
My friend in CA and CO also had the same problems with service life not being any better than 1-2yrs service life.
Made the Switch and never looked back. Not to mention the price to performance gain isn't as good as the 3 I mentioned.

jamg · 02-17-2013, 11:38 AM

HIR's don't come in h4?

i'm not sure what to purchase on ebay..

i've found some korean made ones..

s0fa king · 02-22-2013, 10:19 AM

I've seen those. $1400 is slightly crazy. If they were half that I'd consider.

DenkiMan! · 02-22-2013, 10:25 AM

yea although it looks like quality stuff their prices are batshit

s0fa king · 02-22-2013, 10:38 AM

I'd like to see some circles done like in the NSX above. The thought of putting a circle in a square frame sounds weird though.

silviaks2nr · 04-02-2013, 12:04 PM

Just finished up some lights for a member here. USDM housings, clear plastic lenses, bezels painted black, modded rx330 projectors with clear lenses and curved cutoff shields, philips 85122, matsushita ballasts, led back light around projectors.
