Those are Gen1s...I think people have complained that they leak and fog up...

anyone else have the problem of the inside of their lense having minor scratches or cracks in them, maybe from the sun or something?

and i used to have UV blacklight bulbs too but i gave them to a friend to put in his.

that looks tight

TommyP 03-29-2010 03:49 PM

ok quick question. Does anybody know why when you flash your brights during the day it turns on both your low and high beams? I though it just flashed your highs? seems kinda stupid, I don't like the fact that my hid lows flash on and off when I flash my brights.

TommyP 03-29-2010 04:14 PM

^^^^ ya I have that too. Many of the projectors do that. It's from the heat from the halogen bulbs. Even the sidemarkers are hot enough to cause this. The quality of the lenses are shit.

blackedout06 03-29-2010 05:03 PM

yeah, everyone always asks me why its like that n i never knew the answer. ill have to see if i can find just lenses so i can replace them. thanks!

I want to smoke my tails but I'm not too confident I can produce a quality finish (smooth & shiny) so I was thinking about taking the lights apart and smoking the inside, what do you guys think?

BPacak 04-09-2010 06:59 PM

It really isnt hard to tint your tails at all. just even coats and dont spray too much or too close or it will run. just while your in the process take the light and look at in sunlight because mine came out much darker then they looked but oh well. taking them apart would be dumb.

wheres the best place to get some projectors? saw some on ebay but i dont want my lenses cracking and what not like you guys explained.

Gestapo007 04-09-2010 09:00 PM

i dont like tinted headlights like that. no light output, and looks tacky. black insides looks much better

Probably one of the best modifications I've done to my car. It's nice being able to see when I'm driving through the mountains after skiing at night. :)
