pics of *non* HID headlights

hmm I'll have to go adjust that. I didn't even think about it since I was just replacing bulbs.

Gremlin- hate to be a pain but when it's dark again can you take a pic of the front of the car- want to see the color through the headlamps - thanks!
I returned the zxe's anyway, but just curious how they look

I have the ZXEs on my car as well and I'm pretty happy with them. They are the most white halogens I have seen and MUCH brighter than stock as you can see from Gremlin's pics.

I'll try to grab some tonight. Gonna play with the squirrel finders as well.

I wanted to give you a quick picture of my set up. I have LED Sidemarkers, LED Switchbacks, and Silverstar lowbeam and highbeams. This picture actually makes the Silverstars look better than they are. They are very dull compared to my LED's. I am switching to HID's as soon as my 86 headlights get here.

[Cajun]

Yeah I ended up taking out my led side markers, and haven't installed my switchbacks yet. I know the bulbs I ordered wont be as blue (if at all blue) but hopefully it won't look dumb. If so, I'll break down and get 6k hid's

[tbwoodlee]

Yeah, I will probably go with 6k hid's also.

Don't change it - they are supposed to be there for halogen lights, it's to light up street signs and such while your low beams are on. IMO they're fine as is. Now if you had HIDs on there...


And if where you are is anything like where I am car-culture wise, you probably aren't even hitting peoples' license plates with the main beam. I don't think those will blind anyone. When I get the nightbreakers I definitely won't be bending my squirrel-finders down.

This is correct, I misunderstood and thought you had HID's installed.. No reason to adjust with halogen bulbs


And here are the PIAA bulbs I used on the bike

You know, the packaging looks like a clif bar.

^lol.
so, would just replacing the hi beam bulbs be ok? I'm thinking if a HID replaced the hi beam's, it'd flicker while driving around (the DRL's) since its not getting full power output. Not 100% sure, but just a thought. So, I'm thinking of just getting a white bulb for the DRL's/hi beams. I don't want to completely eliminate the DRL's, but would rather it white, or something different other than stock yellowish color.

Here is a side by side of 5k and 6k... I'm adjusting my lights and needed the stock projector in.. Decided to grab a pic for you
