by **Mr_Chunkz** » Wed Feb 06, 2008 7:44 pm

Comments bombarded me from every which direction...
" So youre headlight ISNT HID anymore? "
Its because I have a stock FX 4300k bulb compared to my 8000k fog they look amber.

Well.. last night I cracked and ordered some 6000k d2s Phillips Utiliton(sp?) bulbs. Hoowah.

It would be awsome if they can make a clear lence with lexan for the gen1 fogs.
Im sure that lots of guys here would like to buy clear lenses also (me too), so they would produce more than for 1 pair of fog.

no??

dont know
wish i hadnt taken so long
now that i look at the work
i can imagine why it would take a long time
they originally quoted me 2-3 months for completion but then ran into a few issues that required custom this.. custom that
:-?

anyway im still happy with my overall experience with izntrbl tho

ive seen plenty of newbies try first time on retrofitting and they turn out great.
Example: sleepersolara
he's new to it but he's shown us up-to-date stuff and they are lookin' real good.

JUST ADMIT, YOU'RE LAZY! :lol:

Does your 4300K look more "cold" (less amber) then halogen bulb? and of Silverstar?

Your 6000K seems great, I tough it would look more "blue" (I dislike when it looks too much blue)

great retrofit, Im jealous :oops:

Yes the 4300k itself looks marginally less amber than halogen or silverstar, however, the beam out of the 4300k looks WAY less amber. I went with 6000k with the promise that in my projector it would appear pure white, and it sure does.
