Could you imagine. The forum would literally be nothing but threads from newbies who just joined with 4 posts asking what coilovers are best or asking if their car is totalled without pictures. And of course clickbait about the 2027 twin charged brz test mule spotted by carinsiderinfobetterthenyou.au

Incandescent bulbs give off 2% light 98% heat, very inefficient.

I ask because the gf's 350z has stock HIDs. We got headlights for the non-HID version because they looked better and I figured I could rework them to take the stock setup for the bulb/wiring. I just wanted to check on LED bulb replacements (for incandescent bulbs) in case I couldn't retrofit the HID into the new housing. Why we switched housing is because she wants green halos and the stock housing has a weird shaped projector housing that won't allow for halos

I like how dude can say it's a "hot special" but on his other Visconti thread he has he gets mad when I said it was like a fire sale

You just barely notice that? Until there's another BIG announcement, those "main" members will keep things going.

Awful. Too narrow of a spectrum. Too bright for oncoming drivers.

Can you elaborate? I'm taking about replacing an incandescent bulb with an LED bulb that is already behind a projector. So, like an LED bulb for the FRS

LED can be ordered in Kelvin just like HID. So, if you want 4300, you can get that. Also, you can get the correct brightness to be legit.

People just don't get the "correct" kit for their car. It is available though.

White LED are full spectrum, yes they have a peak light frequency, but they give off a wide range.

Colored LED are very narrow spectrum.
