do you know how to wax the car? its the exact same thing. get a cloth, put some sealer on, wipe it all over the lens, let it dry for a minute, then get a clean cloth and wipe off the residue.

gyup...get the black OEM headlights....and get some amber turn signal bulbs to go wit it and u got a clean lookin' set of headlights..

ClutchEm2

Put some of that Mothers stuff on a towel. Rub it into the headlight. Wait 5 minutes. Rub it off with the clean part of the towel. Repeat if needed.

Dont forget the before pictures!

MURDOCK

yea right

should I go with an amber bulb or plain clear bulb?

MURDOCK

for my question.

Should I go amber or clear turn signal?

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

amber for sure, and hit me up if you need a pair of good amber bulb (actual amber glass, no coating that will peel off). they are also 25w/5w so the turn signal is a tad brighter. i have 4 pairs unopened that i prolly wont need since im switching back to tycs. ill send you a pack for $8 shipped.

whoa how'd he get banned? that sucks.

DsevenEm2

iTrader: (6)

well since he got banned i guess i can take this one over to show u guys what i did....

so i went looking for that Mothers plastic stuff and couldnt find it in 5 stores so i gave up and went with some random "yellow haze fixer upper" kit thing from advance auto..the guy there told me it works better than mothers and meguires...but i duno.

anyway it ran me 20 bucks. and i gota tell u...it works pretty dam good. theres pics below. if u follow the simple directions and actually have patience then it works liek a charm.. theres six pics below. the first 3 are before and the last 3 are after shots. i still want some new oem lights so if anyone wants to trade for these id be more than happy to do it. these look really good now. no scratches no haze, no anything. they look pretty damn good so if anybody wants to trade there oem ones and doesnt wana go thru the hassle of painting there own, these are up for grabs.

Personally, I find the TYC projectors to be of very good quality and output. I just put the Osram Silverstars in them and they are hella bright. Not like HID, but for a halogen bulb, it covers the road well.

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

when i had them so did i. they are decent and safe to drive with but nowhere near what an oem projector will put out. here are both tyc projectors with +50 clear silverstar H1, 1800 lumen per bulb.



now here is one valeo projector with H7 standard bulb 1500 lumen, and foreground limiting shield which reduces the amount of light directly in front of the car.

DsevenEm2

iTrader: (6)

wow...so the valeo outputs higher? or just brighter. cuz if its higher, wont that just blind the hell out of people?

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

well i would expect HID valeo w/ballast to out shine a halogen TYC... hehe... but yeah do u have a pic of a stock light with the silverstar in it? cause im just trying to beat my stock output without horrible glare, and without blinding oncoming traffic

gearbox

iTrader: (95)

um that pic is of a halogen valeo (common on older audis) with a halogen H7 standard bulb, which has LESS lumens than the +50 bulbs i had in the tyc. and the valeo is foreground limited. so it has two things against it already. i will be running those valeo with osram hyper H7 bulbs pushing 2100 lumen each if you can imagine that. almost as much lumen as a 6000K hid bulb. no more hid for me, i like halogen alot better. and no there is no glare above the valeo cutoff except for those dim flares with blue, which is for lighting up road signs (d.o.t. specific design).

if you have regular stock headlight, i would recommend the philips Xtreme power +80 H4 bulbs which is what i use currently. Since our stock bulbs only give 1000lumen each, it helps.

here is a comparison of stock reflector with different H4 bulbs.

+50 VP



+80 XP



catz hid PNP (4300k)

the +80 looks....really good.

ya and if you order from powerbulbs.com they are still giving away philips bluevision 194 bulbs i believe.

I'm back from my two day banning.
lets just say I was a little toasted that night.

Gearbox you really have helped greatly.
I have a big donation coming your way (:
I just finished installing my new headlights and they look perfect.
the guys at http://www.freestylemotorsports.com/...e499c7fc0c760c
even included factory Honda bulb sockets for all bulbs.
the fit and finish and look of these light are top notch.
I used Silverstar main beams = 4000k they are nice and white and bright huge diff over stock, amber glass bulbs for indicator and regular old 194 wedge for the city lights.
I am very happy with the end result I would say buy from these guys and forget the DIY headlight stuff unless you want a different style that they don't offer.

iTrader: (4)

is it tru that the blue headlight will haze the inside of the housing?
iv had projectors in both my 7th gens and they suck from tyc to the duel halos they look nice but the light out put does suck and the tycs are hard as hell to aim. i got the gunmetal depo on my girls car she like them. they only fogged up ones but never had a problem with them and iv been looking for the blk depos everywhere dally on ebay, thanks for the link

MURDOCK

Thanks for the comments.

I used Silverstar main beams = 4000k they are nice and white and bright, huge diff over stock, rainbow chrome amber glass bulbs for indicator and regular old 194 wedge for the city lights.

I like the look of the rainbow chrome amber indicators over the stock amber they look crisper and cleaner. I'll post a link to them from ebay its a
