Headlights are ordered.

What non hid bulbs are best? I would like a blue tint if a high quilts bulb exists.

Let me know how they fit, I've been thinking about ordering the same ones. I ****ing hate cloudy lenses!

[nascarnate326]

They should fit perfect. Lots of people that have tried them previously and had great success.

Depo's also have a reputation for poor fitment and cheap rubber seals. Maybe they have upped the quality Just curious

never seen that on tech. Wont know until spring but it appears to be identical to my factory lights.

Whistler mod FTW, those will look great! Any plans for tinting the turn signals or anything?

Yes I have new turn signals under the tree. Putting those Silver looking bulbs that light up orange in them.

HID's should be here soon, mail delivery is all messed up right now :/

Also got money for a K member today

Got my HID kit. Its cheap, both in actual cost and feel. I dont expect much out of them but for 30 bucks, I'll take a gamble.

you should have better luck than i did. I finally figured out the reason i had so much trouble with the ones in my fusion is because the headlight voltage in that car is "modulated" or something like that, basically like a governor on the voltage. Supposed to extend the life of standard bulbs... and in doing so, makes HIDs pretty much unusable.

[nascarnate326]

From what I could find they are all about the same when comparing the cheap HID's. I am going to try and get them in on Sunday. I just couldnt put those brand new lights in without some kind of new bulb.

My hesitation with HIDs has always been twofold: 1, I don't want to attract too much attention to myself on the road, lest cops take notice. 2, I don't want to be a jerk to other drivers.

digital ballast ? they should last a while, I have had mine for almost 11 yrs, only had to replace one bulb, of course I didn't pay 30 bucks, but my brothers are cheap ebay ones and they look good and have lasted longer then I thought thus far.

The LS camaro headlight housing features a scatter shield of sorts that focuses the light and creates a cutoff, unlike the sealed beam lights in lt1 camaro and all firebirds. I didn't want to blind other people either, if they do I'll just ditch them.

There are some pretty good threads on tech that explain it all. Still going to be bright as hell, blue, and obviously not stock to a 98 camaro. Only time I drive my car at night is coming back from ww and that's gotten pretty rare lately.

Edit: here is the thread I was readying
