235 look nice on my other set of white wheels but I don't think they'll look nice on these I want a nice stance

I was afraid that was the method. Don't think I can find it in myself to do it, knowing how pissed I get when things don't work out lol

Already ordered a mirror that is black and has heated function. (Same palce I ordered the pass side mirror.)

Body Shop wants $35 to paint, motor is weak and loud compared to the new black one.

JDyal (w/e your name is): Your 10k/6k/4k/whatever headlights will have glare, you will blind/annoy other drivers, you will look like an ass, and you'll likely get a ticket in hopes that it'll teach you a lesson.

And I'd do a 235/40 and just roll (Light pull if necessary) the fender to fit them, 215/205 might look a bit sunk tbh

Brandon, im not familiar with holset turbos but I am familiar with Borg Warner turbos. A buddy of mine has a Borg in his integra and makes close to 500HP. I believe they have a good warranty if you buy from them and that would play a big factor in my decision.

Holset are off of dodge diesel trucks, big turbos with fast spool. They are fairly cheap, pretty damn durable, lots of upgrades for them, and cheap to rebuild

You should have looked into Accord mirrors...

looking good Carlos!

I have 235's on my Wedsports SA-70 8.5 "drop on coilovers" no fender rolling and no problem at all. I think you should be fine with 235's.

^^If I'm gonna replace it would be JDM.

This car is being made on a serious budget.

Also, aiming down so you don't glare is dangerous. It lights up your foreground so much so that your eyes adjust to the intense light in front of your car and the dark parts out in front of your light become invisible because your night sensitivity is gone.

Also, 10000K (or 10k Kelvin, the K in light temps stands for Kelvin, not kilo) isn't as bright to your eyes because blue hues are the hardest for our eyes to pick up. So you shine this high Kelvin light on the ground and not nearly as much comes back because it's being scattered all around, but all that scattered light is in the eyes of oncoming cars and those who are in front of you. I'd need output pics to verify, but I'm certain those lights are not as great as you think bro.

What I'd do then is buy a cheap pair of OEM replacement lights and retro those, you can find a pair of them on Amazon for around $80. Put a quality set of projectors in there, get a nice shroud, some paint, some CCFL halo's (if you like that kind of thing) and you'd have some badass heads that really light up the road very well without blinding others.

That link Victor posted up from HIDPlanet, I have posted in that thread plenty times, I'm even on the last page. Read up on HIDPlanet, browse some retro's, read the University and the links from the first page, and be converted man!

Oh so you're saying buy some so I have a spare, right?

WOAH wait a min, ok I've hounded by the HID's already I know.

#1 I have a username that is clearly visible so wtf with "w/e your name is" JDyal is fine or Jamie
#2 I just got lectured about the HID's like 10 times which I will fix and I don't need you to add more,
#3 I've had HID's in cars for the past 4 years and I sure as hell didn't or won't get a ticket for that so there's no lesson to be learned. Cops don't care unless they're like super blue why would one give me a ticket for what I have? I have tons of friends with HID non projectors so idk wtf you're talking about with a ticket for it

Also I don't shoot them all the way down, just straight since my fogs take car of some of the floor

I was in the midst of figuring out a projector fog retrofit and the heads as well. Before I get the blazers, I'm trying to figure a way to fill up the extra space I'll have in the fog bezel. I'm thinking mesh, I saw some really nice one in my garage that I'm about to highjack and some more at Lowe's and decided to cut the brackets off my grill and fill it with mesh

JD, I believe someone made a tutorial on here for fxr projectors. If I remember his name correctly, his screen name is hendoism.

Thanks for the tip I might have seen it. But wasn't it for 2 projectors for JDM?

Also why H1? Isn't that a single filament bulb? I would need a dual unless you want me to get two set's and put four projectors all together?
