Hey ladies,

Im investing in a set of blue/white lights for my hyundai coupe - ive had enough of the bastads with the cool blue lights and have decided to join the crowd.

Apart from the obvious advantage of being brighter, would getting a 100watt set over a 50watt set lead to any issues with heat/alternator strain etc? In my view getting 100watt globes is just brighter, does it matter or can i use as many watts as i want for the new globe ?


Cheers

watch out, some are illegal k

yeah aparently all non yellow globes will prevent your car from passing a police roadside roadworthy. The guys at supercheap were telling me the story how everyone who has them gets in trouble by the police and has to change them back to get their car back to standard, then they just go back to the blue globes after the police check that you have fixed the problems.

Ive always been amazed at the light output of them, it seems to show a lot more road and footpath than the traditional yellow globes

man i f***in' hate those headlights.
But that's all i have to add to this thread.

fyi blue headlights are out, one headlight is in

Phillips Blue Visions (I think thats what they are) are cheap but are also nice and bright.

I had blue lights in my car, cops never cared, cops stopped my friend because his fog lights were "dazzling", they never mentioned his blue headlights either. 100 watt globes in a car not meant for them MAY stress the wiring and overheat your reflector if its made of plastic it could melt.

edit: at least that's what it said in some book/manual/bulb packet I read once. Probably bs

thanks whoop, thats the info i was after.

Now ive gota work out how to reverse the aging of my fog lights thats sending the plastic covers yellow :(

looks like im gona have to buy new covers :(

your headlights are plastic?

plastic covers ya

If your factory globes are 55w high beam, and you want to put 110w ones in, you will need a relay hooked up to your lights to get them to operate at peak efficiency and without burning out wiring.

1 Headlight and an intercooler that falls off.

die any c*** who uses those headlights, they are a hazard
I laugh at my friend who installed some powerful lights in his car and they melted all the wiring f***ing his lights up! bahaha

Spend some extra $$'s and just get some HIDS...halogen bulbs die too quickly!!

god im noob

Hid's are good if your car has dual headlights for both beams right? ie HID's themselves dont switch between high and low, the car I bought has the right headlight setup for a HID conversion, but other cars may not?

NF it would appear you are missing a headlight

I'm with Joanna - I, too, can't stand those blue headlights. They look great, sure, but they annoy the hell out of me (they're too distracting).

thats partly the reason why im getting them - if you cant beat them, join them !

they are only bad on high beam anyway

as for the headlight covers

bit of brasso or plastic polish will do the job.

basically it buffs away the worn layer and makes it crystal clear. common problem with soarers, about 5 minutes of elbow grease and its back to uber!

so the yellow is on the outside of the lense, not in inside??

ill go now and see what i can do with el braso

if this works ill owe you one tung

both.

yellowing is more to do with the plastic ageing and water condensing and ruining the surface.

its a trap

^^ looks photochoped.

Lowgoz to get the plexi nice and clear get some buffing compound and nice big buff for grinder or drill or if you have a grinding wheel buffer. 8-)

f*** oz, thank you

i was hand buffing with silvo, after you read your post i realised i could be using my f***ing electric buffer

yargh cheers !

HID is an abbreviation of High Intensity Discharge, which radiates light by putting high voltage on xenon gas infused in the bulbs.
When it turns on, the ballasts send out 20,000V, light up burner, then the bulbs radiate.
HID stands out among halogen lights for its instant lighting and completely different brightness.
HID is 1.5 to 2 times brighter than halogen lumps. It makes night time drive safe and easy f***ing dangerous for oncomming traffic.
It is perfect for weak eyesight blind f*****s especially at night time.
Dazzling light of HID make you feel that you are driving daytime or other cars' lights are off an expensive import.
Turn off your HID and you will feel sense of superiority when other drivers are surprised at the contrast made by HID light be thanked by every other driver on the road.

fixed.

I saw a honda with those things, it was behind me going in the same direction and I couldn't stand the f***ing dazzling light. I've almost been blinded by those things while driving at night, imho they are TOO bright. Then again I'm pretty sensitive to light, I can see ok in low light conditions with no lights on (be it indoors or on the road).

i can imagine you emerging from a darkened computer room to the sunlight of the day, hissing at the sun with your red glowing eyes then running back into the room to continue playing WOW

anyone who changes their vehicles lighting over the stock setup is a massive loser

im guessing you have the same view about people who put on a body kit
or get a window tint, or the loosers who actually polish their car

f*** those people are loosers

I don't play wow, wow is for f*****s and can I help it if I have a sensitivity to light? f***tard

first time i saw someone with those lights i thought it was the popo telling me to pull over
