Their brackets are usualyl cheap chinese home-depot spec shit that doesnt look great but they do work.

EDIT: my mistake, shouldnt need the HID harness unless you are doing 55w.
Thank you Mattles! Appreciate your feedback bro. Def going to be ordering a HID Kit today!

I was wondering whether anybody had any interest in a little autoXing fun over at the factory where I work. We have a nice big parking lot that we actually already use as a test track (legally) for our cars, so we could set up a cone course and do some playing without worrying about being rolled up on. It's a pretty good location right across the I10 from Firebird Raceway, so kindof close for Tucson or Phoenix in a way.

We've also got a pretty big air conditioned facility if

Anyway, just throwing it out there, could make for a good time!

Autox always sounds good to me.

One more thing I forgot, dunno if the slims are the same but on my DDM 35w raptors I had to reverse the bulb plug to get the damn things to light up. I guess the polarity of the stock bulb wiring must be opposite of the DDM stuff. No damage if you plug it in wrong though, they just wont work.

Okay thanks! Ill keep that in mind and keep looking around to see what i can find. I might go with Xenon HID's. Saw a deal on ebay for about 100$ instead of 170$ with lifetime warranty also! So we will see.... But yes is the AutoX'ing going on Saturday? If so we can meet somewhere and head up there or just everyone meet there who can come?

Ok people, Saterday morning is good for any who want to come down and help design a autoX course for the LM lot! I'll be down there around 8:00 so the temps will be nicer. A little disclaimer that this one won't be an all-day thing because I have a meeting mid-day, but I'm thinking of it as a preliminary thing so that we can get a layout we like, drive on it a bit, tweak it, and then the next time we can get more people and we'll have our routine down! (And by "next time" I don't mean "next month", this is really easy to have here at the factory so fear not)

The address is

Chandler, AZ 85226

LM HQ. You can google map it and it gives you the right spot.

Hell ya! Let's make it diverse. I only have my WRX, so why not? And a couple of hours is fine. Like I said, this is sort of a prelim in my mind to something bigger next time!
