I already have HID lights, so I have a set of ballasts, and, since they're factory equipment, matching them with TRS gear would've cost about $170.

You have HID's but no projectors?

I want it to rain!

While the wax on my car is still really good, I want it to pour while my car is exposed to the elements, no trees over it, and then take pictures of it.

Then I'm going to upload them to Facebook. :awe:

 

[MotF Bane]

You have HID's but no projectors?

Ja!

Xenon reflector housings. Specially shaped to limit the beam in a downwards direction, using a D2R bulb. D2R is essentially the same as the D2S bulbs that go in projectors, except the bottom edge and tip are painted black, reducing the upward light glare.

 

[MotF Bane]

So it means I already have a nice set of ballasts that I can reuse, and they're fully compatible, plus my car already has relay harnesses, wiring configurations, everything. The wiring and power of these lights is going to be stupidly easy; fitting the projectors into the tiny upper bays is going to be a pain in the ass.

I get the house to myself for most of tomorrow, all of Friday and Saturday, and then Sunday morning.

 

[MotF Bane]

Also, working Sunday mornings for a bit! Moar dollahs!

 

[MotF Bane]

Which reminds me, I have a paycheck to cash.

 

[MotF Bane]

The handbra and armbra are brilliant ideas.

 

[MotF Bane]

Dear AT,

Take your 15 second limit and shove it up your ass sideways.

 

[MotF Bane]

The glorious place had something like a five second cooldown.

 

[MotF Bane]

And figure it took half a second to a second to draw the new page, so it was pretty hard to hit it.

 

[MotF Bane]

:awe:

 

[MotF Bane]

So I can't even check that the bulbs work... I'll just take everything out, do a visual inspection, make sure it's all here and intact, and probably shine a high power flashlight through the projectors for lulz.

 

[MotF Bane]

And next weekend I'll get those installed.

Also, snow tires going on soon.

 

[MotF Bane]

Leaving my mod list as... window tint! That'll help with other headlights, which really bother me terribly, and an MP3 input, which has suddenly risen on the priority list.

 

[MotF Bane]

And it's past 11:30 already! HOW.

 

[MotF Bane]

Post alfa, post!

 

[MotF Bane]

My camera just can't possibly cut it for night shots of my car.

 

[MotF Bane]

Shit, most cameras can't do it, but sure as hell a little P&S can't hack it.

 

[MotF Bane]

It's just all dark shapes, and occasional light flares.

Ah never heard about those

Deliver Us! :awe:

The first thing I do when buying a car is tint. Love it.
MP3 input... lmao you're going to need a good source
