^^^^^ so true. what bulbs are you running there?

smelly240 · 07-10-2007, 08:15 PM

i sold my silvia front just because i couldnt see... plus flipup aero=sex

xxxjovaxxx · 07-10-2007, 08:30 PM

let truth be told. (i will speak from experience with these)

VISIBILITY-WISE
flip-up H4 conversion > S13 projectors > S13 bricks

SEX-WISE
the car is just too sexy regardless!!

buy H4 conversion housings for your flip-up lights, these are as bright as you can get. especially by popping in aftermarket HIDs. light is reflected everywhere, but who cares! better visibility = safer driving!! lol

next (a little less bright than your flip-up lights) sits the S13 projector lights. the cut off on these does go the wrong way, BUT it is distinct AND better than dual bricks. then again, do what i did, get a set of HIDs for each projector

and finally, bricks are like

seriously. i was running an HID in each reflector and it still didnt compare to my projectors running one set of lights. light output SUCKS ON BRICKS. but they are goddamn sexy!

That's why I have a Miata! I would never take my car out at night in So Cal, first second I park it and it'd get stolen.

twofortyrida1388 · 07-11-2007, 01:46 PM

What I was talking about doing is my version of the clearcorners pop up projectors but using audi a6's instead of theirs.

Brian · 07-11-2007, 01:59 PM

Not necessarily super bright. Putting super bright bulbs in the brinks wont do shit. It's the beam pattern and output that sucks.

Plastic junk. Get Hella or Cibie units. The Hellas are only about $90 and WAY better than stock. Cibie are a little better, from what I here, but I am very pleased with the Hella E-codes I have.

twofortyrida1388 · 07-16-2007, 11:53 PM

what bulbs do you run with the e-codes? Got a pic with the lights on and off? Thanks.

Kyosuke · 07-19-2007, 09:55 AM

I got tripple beams on my car and they point to the floor ~_^ i just turn on my highs and my "supplemental highs" ? lol w/e and they shoot straight foward andi have no problems. I still would like to put the usdm projector and Hids though with the clear housing but doing all that gets expensive. I figured it out one day and it cost like 1,000+ to have everything done im also including turning signal lighting too,those can be made to be really really bright looks cool imo

twofortyrida1388 · 07-20-2007, 10:25 PM

I can get the whole conversion w/ bricks for 600 but from what I heard its gonna cost a few extra hundred to retro some usdm projectors.

SexPanda · 07-20-2007, 10:39 PM

I got bricks. I can give you 1 piece of advice. The stock connectors SUCK. The wires seem like they are too small a gauge. when I got my front end, I broke one of the connectors, so I strait wired up the drivers side light with some slightly larger gauge wire and female wire connectors (kinda look like flat sleeves, i dont know what theyre actually called) Then I retrofitted the old plastic housing to accomodate them. Anyhow, that one is pretty bright. The other one on the stock connector is still dim. Im thinking about doing the same to that one. Ive had no problems with wires or bulb burning out or anything, and no problem with water. I used shrinky-dink sleeves though.

6 Months after that and I still havent adjusted the headlight aim... That could help too.

x2. I had the Cibie H4 housings on my s13 and they were amazing. Some asshat came and stole em though. Bastards.

Matej · 07-21-2007, 12:05 AM

Bricks or projectors, they're both going to look ugly on a hatchback.

As much as i want to disagree, I cant. I have a silvia front end on my hatch, but only because I was in a rear ender, and my shit was all sorts of SNAFU. Its a real shame too. I had just fixed a big dent in my hood and drivers side fender and was getting ready to buy a CA18DET front clip. Unless your front end is screwed up, i'd say you'd be better off spending that 600 or so dollars on something that can help your performance.

JWT ECU, or
Tokico shocks and struts, or
header and exhaust
Camshafts

the list is pretty much endless. Besides, the chuki hatch looks sexy already IMO.
