What do you guys think?

Maybe we can get a deal or something, for a mass purchase for the HID's

 

[Merciles]

I'm up for that idea, but it is a bit early right now, so we'll see.

 

[Levitron]

Hehe...yeah.

I better get my 3 first!

 

[wahyinghung]

Iam intrested it better be soon....................

 

[Levitron]

I'll make some inquiries as to where we can get them from....maybe even Mazda dealerships here.

BUT....I've wanting to drive down to WA for the install. I'll see what kind of dealerships are willing to do it.

 

[Merciles]

Sounds good thx levi.

:?:
eh, what is HID's?

 

[Kazbaeden]

Xenons, the bright white head lights. Stands for High Intensity Discharge.

 

[FR3D]

if the price is right, i'm interested too!

 

[Levitron]

Here's the verdict guys, and it's not great.

Retrofitting our non-HID housings with the factory housings would number in the thousands, something like up to 2 grand....according to Bruno.

So, it seems the most viable route will be going with aftermarket stuff. Any opinions?

 

[FR3D]

we've got projector in the m3, aftermarket plug-n-play conversion kit should do it just fine

 

[a_kaup]

The projector system will accept an H7 HID upgrade nicely.

Too bad those Hoen bulbs are tinted blue. Illegal here in Vancouver.

 

[FR3D]

the chance of having the police give you a ticket for that is really small, I used to have headlight bulbs tinted purple and still no problem at all :wink:

You don't live in Vancouver, so you wouldn't know.

MANY people here (including me) get "VI's", short for Vehicle Inspections costing upwards of a hundred dollars CAD......all simply because of our vehicle modifications. I had blue bulbs before, and I got ticketed.

It's unfortunate. The police here would rather spend their time setting up roadblocks for these kind of things, rather than patrolling the streets for crooks.

 

[FR3D]

actually I do live in Vancouver, well I guess I got off lucky then :lol:

FR3D is in Richmond isn't he? :lol:

Actually IMO some of the luxury cars have headlights that are very very bright, sometimes annoying whether they are behind you or coming on the other side.. i think police should give them tix instead (even though it's not the driver's fault)! :wink: Those M class MB are most bothering since they sit higher and their HID are so bright. Those ones on S2000 change colours..

Sorry off topic..

Yeah, he is. I typed that message before he put up his location

 

[FR3D]

so is there still a group buy interest?

btw, 2k1_bug, i gotta agree with you, those M-Class just completely blind me whenever they follow me with their HID on! but the S2000 ones change color? I never notice that! :?

 

[Levitron]

There has been some interest over in the Lighting forums...and there seems to be a group buy for Catz lights.
