DRLs, HID Kits, and Switchback LEDs
 
I want to swap the lights on the Firestorm, but before I make any purchases, I wanted to know which brands you guys recommend and which ones you dont, as well as any problems you guys might have ran into. Thanks in advance.

Also which combination of brands match (color wise), and how well the light output is.

I just ordered a full set of LEDs and a pair if HIDs from powerhouse. They still coming in! But I can't wait for them!

How much did you pay?!

spgrizz22 01-25-2013 10:11 PM

Oh gosh they expensive! $430 for HIDs and literally all the lights in the car! All switched to LEDs, the only reason I pick them is because they have lots of positive reviews and I heard from a lot of people saying they are super bright

+1 for @KI_ZN6 at HID_Powerhouse! Good quality stuff and amazing customer service. If you have any questions, he replies quick!

I got HIDs, dome light, trunk light, and LED DRLs from him. All good stuff. IIRC, for all that, I probably paid around $200? That's a ballpark figure though, don't quote me on that.

The Retrofit Source

- Morimoto 3Five 4300K HID Kit ~$150

VLEDS.com

- Trunk, Dome, Switchback + Relay, License Plate, and Reverse Lights ~ $100.

vleds.com was the only place I could find "5K" white leds from. I wanted to match the 4300K HID kit as closely as possible. NO blue at all from the LEDs, pure white light.

Hope this helps.

spgrizz22 01-25-2013 11:38 PM

Woah? Only 200? I'm getting my 200 dollars back!

I got a really good deal on mine from @Concept-Three-LED's

Switchback+Sidemarkers+DRL+RearTurn+ LEDs. Awesome price too.

Trunk+Dome-(not here)
Footwells-(not here)

I have finally swapped out all of my lights on my car and will be adding a rear fog in sometime next weekend

With Fog light conversion from @F n' A Automotive I have spent $271 shipped

Without the conversion $175 shipped

spgrizz22 01-27-2013 01:13 AM

Here is a nice "dusk" shot. You can see it is a crisp white which is what I was going for.

I think the Morimoto 3Five is a great kit. It seems very well put together. Nice quality on the wiring harness as well. I have had it for a month now and so far I don't have any complaints or regrets.
