now see i can get the superwhite 100w bulbs all day long for FREE from the shop i hang out at...BUT.....
my dude had a Neon and he had those bulbs in their and it ended up frying his complete wiring harness because it only called for like so much w and it was too much....so i know off the top of my head im sure ours are 12v 55w....so you couldnt get me to double that...and lose a wiring harness...na fuck that...the dealership wanted like 3k for that harness...i was like ha ur fucked but he ended up totaling the car like 2 weeks later and after all...it was a neon..so......

Cruel, but sadly, true.
I did a crapload of reading about HIDs b/c I was going to make my own wiring kits, but I found out that the ballasts are very particular in regulating the power output and fluxuations, and that regular ballasts would work, but you'd risk having a flux and your headlights exploding which = not good.
aint that about a bitch.
So I decided to just gank the setup out of a saab or BMW as soon as I find one at the junkyard to take them off of. No luck yet, but I have such a good hookup down there I could get a setup for $50 I kid you not.
I'll do a retrofit and then maybe start doing it for peeps for money.
it's looking likely that i'll go to tech school and open a performance shop with some friends of mine. we will own the import scene of NC and then move to bigger and better things, but ambition is easy to obtain, and money is not.

yeah I tell you want, I have 100w h1's as the low beam on those projectors and it made the light output better, I liked how they looked on my wagon but I was delivering pizza's at the time and I needed the bigger spread of light haha, now that i'm not doing that anymore they might just make their way back onto my car.

cool cool.
I think when I have a new paint job, performance suspension, Boosted G22 hybrid, Twin-loop muffler, tires, clear tails, blackhouse HIDs, tinted windows, cleaned up my interior, and still running 87 octane fuel, I still won't be a target in NC b/c no one gives a shit about CB7s.
There are so many of them that no one turns a second glance, but when they're catching my rear end in there windshield, they'll change their minds.
I will most def. get a 2way paging security setup, and wheel locks.
After modding a vehicle like that there is no way some SOB is gonna come jack my shit without getting caught.
Plus I'm gonna be packing most of the time once I get my conceal carry license for pistols.
gettin' capped wit my 9 fo jackin' my rims.

oh yea and no swap for me...even tho i really wanna jump into the mix with all the h22boosted dudes on here i cant afford it at all and have NO room watsoever to be without a car so unfortunatley it will have to wait till i aquire my beast which will most likely be a 5spd wagon so i can go crazy on that fucker and hang with some peeps and kill lil fuckers all day and love it!!! As far as the Se goes id like to fuck with the NA part but thats dooooooooooooooooooooooown the road haha so who knows

[Ralphie]

that's the smartest way to roll man, and a lot of times it's cheaper.
Yeah the Lamps are kind of JDMish, but I'm mostly doing it b/c IMO the white and black setup is damn sharp and contrasts so well.
My black spoiler doesn't look too out of place, More like just aftermarket I guess. :shrugs:
My plan is to have a set for HID retrofit later, and swap them whenever I feel the need for it.
I believe HIDs are going to be outlawed in NC as well as ground effects and tonight a trooper was eyeballing my blue LED switch for my fogs; so basically I turned them off and acted like nothing happened.
stupid bastards need to go do something important like getting fart cannoned ricers off the road.
NEVER kit your car, it's too clean and will look terrible with a kit. plus it's auto and your not going to swap right? no need to draw attention from idiots on the road.

yea fuckin cops are bagels! I dont know about outlawing HID cuz its a factory thing for some cars...lexus and Infinity i know uses them shits. Umm but i just like the black housing and if i can just brighten them up ill be happy...although the one peices are super sex and have the OEM output which i miss everyone has them(or at least a lot more have those or 2 peice then the ebay projectors) so i wanna see if i can keep em and upgrade the lighting. And as far as kittin na fuck that im staying clean clean with some JDM flare...i wanna avoid the following: Cops/ricers/and theives<~~~ especially them fuckers cuz u can never seem to catch them red handed...but being that at one point the Honda Accord was the #1 stolen car in America its not so easy so ill just keep my fingers crossed.

[Ralphie]

Hahaha you know whats worse...the fact that i know your right....everytime i see something JDM that i never saw before im like, "wow that would look so good on my shit" haha so i dunno. I really wish i had the money for a paint job tho...in due time. Ive been telling myself once i get these ITR's on, the front and rear fogs wired and working that im going to take a break from mods and detail the interior like a fuckin madman! Like every inch...i want to replace the whole trunk carpet so that my trunk looks new and goes good with my sound system and just bring the interior back to factory as much as possible cuz i believe a Clean cb is a happy cb!
