looking for opinions on lighting...

[qnz]

the answer is dont do it. get HIDs. they will be brighter. hids are going as cheap as $85 for slim ballasts. You can check mine out at the next meet

This is really confusing to me. Best I can tell it is a group of LED's on a circle circuit board and then the LED circuit board is stacked on top of each other effectivly blocking the LED's that are behind it. But that aside that is the reason that they dont use LED's in house lighting because they have trouble getting a LED to create the lumen output of a 60W bulb...that and they cost an arm and a leg (when assembled correctly, meaning not just randomly placed on a circuit board)

lol, leds arnt used in houses because they dont produce pure white light, recently they have made them tho.

want some seriour lumen output? http://www.luxeonstar.com/endor-rebe...00ma-p-183.php

HID's are CHEAP now! just get H7 HID (and stay between 2450K and 6000K).

[fatal1]

those are crap, they will give you like no light output...spent the extra $50 and get hids...you will be happier with both the look im sure and they give a great output which will be much better for visibility

Remember who you guys are talking too (Projector headlight fiasco). Safety is definitely not a major concern for this kid. As long as he thinks he can see fine he's happy.

I say go for the LED headlights. For $30, I'm sure they're bright and DOT approved. They wont be any worse than the magnifying glasses you have in there now.

do u ever stop running your mouth? The whole reason i got the jdm lights was because i was not happy with the heads i have now, i tried something it didnt work, get over it.,.

i think hids will be the way to go... thanks for the advice...

dark blue light doesn't seem very bright to me.

LED's are almost always dimmer than regular bulbs, just get a set of HID's if you want bright lights. I guarantee those will suck balls for your main lighting. It won't be safe. The only things I would recommend using LED's for would be running lights or turn signals, thats it.

Led's give out whats called diffused light, which is nice for atmosphere but not for visibility. now its says it is stronger than traditional bulbs but the difference between hard and diffused light will make a huge difference, still wanna see what they look like though. so go for it

thats for the imput guys... i will just wait and get the hids...

[dwjp90]

hids are the way to go, get some switchbacks to go with the hids as well

[guynlidia2006]

switchbacks?

I'll stop running my mouth when you stop suggesting ridiculously dangerous ideas.

After you spent pages with photos telling us all how good the cutoff was and how bright they were, after at least 20 people told you they wouldn't work and you were endangering yourself and others, now you're admitting they didn't work out??

Ownage!!

i like thouse... they are nice.... thanks

yup, find greddys build thread, he has them.

yep, they will go well with 6000K hids, I have a set of the hid's for my JDM's on the way. Just make sure you wire in resistors so that they don't blink like their on steroids.
