RPM Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Deepfreeze, They'll be safely tucked away inside your headlamp assembly, so they wont be directly exposed to the elements. Temperature does not affect them at all. TSi+WRX, Thanks for the great reply. Wiring can indeed be done any way you choose. Most people either wire them into the parking lamp circuit or wire them direct to the ignition so they are on any time the car is on (DRLs). Check out the pictures of the Mazda 6 in the first post. This should give you a good idea of how well they can be seen in the late afternoon. They are clearly visible at all times, even at noon on a sunny day, especially if you black out your headlamps to provide some contrast. They are also able to be distinguished from the normal headlights to a degree. Obviously, if you are 50 feet away looking straight at the front of the car, you probably wont see much other than headlights, especially if the car has HIDs. But if you're closer to the car or at an angle where you aren't in the direct beam of the headlights, you'll be able to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCDetails Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I wired the halos in my Integra to the park lights. I also wired another switch between the power from the lights to the halos that allowed me to turn them off independently of the parking lights. I liked them to get the power from the parking lights because that way they would blink when I armed the alarm, but I also liked being able to turn them off when I didn't want them on. I'll probably do something like that with these too. I look forward to the wiring challenge. Maybe I'll start running wires and switches now so that it will be quick when I get the rings. _________________________________________ “Cleanliness becomes more important as godliness becomes more unlikely.” O C D E T A I L S .

TSiWRX Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 RPM - Sounds great. Highly looking forward to this product. OCD - That was actually the way I wired my interior neons (just simple string highlights for the unlit driver's and passenger's armrest controls, on my TSi). The selective on/off was a big plus.

RPM Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 I would be interested to. What temp do these run at? Are you referring to color temperature or physical operating temperature? The color temperature will be right around 6000k. They match both 5000k and 6000k HIDs really well and we will be providing discounts for those who purchase both a DDE Kit and an HID Kit at the same time. The physical temperature while they are turned on is very cool. You could hold them in your hand indefinitely if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
