fishbone Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Nice Would you mind elaborating what you saw and did not like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac88 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 2 really noticeable hotspots which were basicly scattered, alot of glare above the hotspots, theres like a blackhole in between the hotspots and lastly this might be a aiming problem but its like its just a flood infront of the car. The upper glare was enough to light up overhead signs. Its just a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 My Rallyes burned out and I am still on the stock halogens and you know what? I am doing just fine That said, I will get a set in the near future. Can't you maybe have them shipped to a buddy where mail gets safe and pick them up? Just throwing ideas your way because I think the Rallyes are an awesome improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN 2.5i Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hard to find places online that will ship with a different billing adress You can add a 'ship to' address to your credit card. You can't have two 'billing addresses' but you can often add a 'ship to'. I have stuff shipped all the time to an address in the U.S. where I pick it up and self-clear customs.

iv_05gt Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 On a side note... I've gone through 3 sets of halogen "bright" fog light bulbs since September '10. Annoying to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac88 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 well when my nokya burn out i'm going to try out those PIAA ION Crystal bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iv_05gt Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My nokya's lasted 3 weeks im not even going to buy another set, im just gonna get a pair of HID kits when tax refund comes. I just think that bright H3's are rubbish in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack-V Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 i got my philips HIR2 9012 bulbs in the mail from amazon yesterday i hope to install them this weekend and post pics. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GTWAGONLIMITED Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I installed my PIAA Ion crystal bulbs this weekend, the walkthrough for replacing the foglights was very helpful. It also reassured my hate for popits... I took some photos for everyone to see with my phone so the quality is not great and neither is my ability to take photos. First image shows the PIAA fogs with my 5000K HID's. Next, just a different angle. Last, just my HID's. Let me know if there is another angle you would like to see. Overall I could not be happier with these lights, they serve their purpose and look great. The pictures I took really do not do them justice. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs783.ash1/167352_618689504514_40301268_34997778_7648523_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs757.ash1/164881_618689165194_40301268_34997765_544018_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/hs066.snc6/167601_618689374774_40301268_34997774_1280668_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wow, had you posted pic 2 a while ago maybe the hid kit argument would have been put to bed much sooner. What do you think GTS Jeff? Did he enlarge his squirrel finders or something? I rest my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 So i just got finished replacing my 9006 foglight bulbs with the Philips HIR2 9012 bulb. Shaving the top tab down was VERY easy and they fit in the housing nice. I did it just now so its hard to tell if and how much brighter they are than the 9006 bulbs but they seem much brighter from first glance. I will try later on to put something over my headlights and post some pics of the final outcome. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 DO NOT PUT SOMETHING OVER YOUR HEADLIGHTS, EVEN IF IT'S FREEZING COLD OUT. You will MELT your headlight housing!! I was trying to aim my foglights last year and covered up my headlights with a microfiber cloth. In less than 5 minutes, one of them deformed.
