i installed a 6 3/4" alpine type r component system into my s130. You just have to cut out the holes very carefully. My only issue is that I haven't figured out what kind of trim I should put around it to make it look right. Sorry don't have my car right now so I can't take any pictures.

I don't think anyone answered your question yet but yes the 7" round housings are the same as the Jeeps. Some of you might not have seen the vendor thread but just to throw it out there, I sell plug and play true hid 7" projectors for $340. I've seen some pretty good retrofits out there but some guys are concerned with inspections so my kit is DOT approved and comes with a 1 year warranty. Whatever route you choose, you want to get an HID wire harness that taps off your battery and doesn't solely rely on your headlight harness. (but I would upgrade the headlight harness regardless).

I'm not sure how to take your comment? It seems a bit hostile... Of course it is an opinion... Also I don't even know what part of my post you are questioning. I didn't make any drastic claims? It's a well known fact that the higher temperature = more heat = less light output. 4300K produces the most daylight-like light output which makes it the optimum temperature if you want the greatest light output. I simply stated that at 6000K you will still have lots of light. Feel free to post your references "The Kelvin (K) is the unit of color temperature. 4100K is the brightest, most natural white light similar to that of daytime sunlight, and therefore the HID color temperature used most in the OEM automotive industry. When you look at the light coming directly out of an HID headlight, it possesses a bit of a blue or purple hue which most people recognize as the expensive, elegant look characteristic of HID's. For this reason, some HID kit manufacturers produce 5400K, 6500K, 8000K, etc. bulbs that give an even more distinct blue hue but at the expense of overall light output.

It will show every imperfection/crack in the dash. I did it to my roof on my BMW and it was a HUGE PITA. With 2 people, it took 5-6 hours and it still has lots of little bubbles. I don't know if I would do it again. It's extremely hard to work with. I would think that a dash would be even harder with all of the funky angles and bends. Can't hurt to try though...

Don't worry 6,000K is not bad at all. They actually make the white lines jump out a little which is kind of nice. You don't want/need anymore then 35W. Plus if you don't like them, you can pick up bulbs cheap on ebay (either a 4300K or 5000K). You should be fine. Just be worried about your light spread onto the ground and proper wiring (with relays and fuses) so you don't blow your headlight harness.

Glad it worked out. It looks great. Enjoy driving at night now!!

Oh god they are the cheap ebay kits. Don't get them! There are loads of threads about how crappy they are.

Your pics don't work? And are we talking about housings or hid kits?

I have a set of 4 wheels and hubcaps. Name a price.

i get a 500 error when I try and update my sig? Anyone else have that problem?

Bought myself a 2007 530i 6 months ago. Best car I've ever driven or owned. Plenty of power, comfort, and can handle pretty well. Also just got a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 Roadster. It was essentially a Mercedes in Chrysler badging with the AMG engine and tranny. There were only 900 roadsters produced so we think it should become a collector car some day. Plus its got 350HP on 3000lbs. and my god is it a sleeper lol

after reading everything I still believe that this is the most efficient cooling system.

Haha still working on it.

Got some more pics. Its not a Z but its pretty cool for a VW. Thought I might post them up.

Wow I hadn't seen the pictures before. They look great! Do I have permission to use them for promo use?

Send me pictures! They could be chosen to be put on a website as a demo pic. Jay gave me permission to use his pics and I got them onto MSA's site. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/LNP1/33-2065

I saw a stock trailer hitch for a 240z on craigslist a while back. You might want to look around online.

weight? looks?

I was making two separate statements. The first was that your statement that "HID's are for blinding drivers on the road" is a very misleading generalization. ALL lights (halogen and HID) will distract you if you go over a bump and they shine into your face. Regardless if you use halogens or HID's you should be using proper housings that minimize this "distraction". Secondly: If you read what I wrote carefully, the study was to back up my statement. The study shows that the discomfort is dependent on glare profile NOT glare dosage and that people often draw incorrect conclusions when evaluating their discomfort and falsely accuse HIDs of "blinding" them. The forum has been weird since the change over. I double post all the time.

If you stare into any light it will temporarily blind you... Also this is directly quoted from a study on HID lighting (I can post the study if you guys want): • Recovery time is dependent on glare profile – Correlated with the total glare dosage • Under the conditions tested here, the discomfort rating is not dependent on glare dosage – Correlated with peak glare illuminance • This may indicate a mismatch of driver discomfort with glare recovery – Drivers can be drawing wrong conclusions about how well they can see after a glare encounter based on the discomfort they feel

I had straight pipes to a flowmaster 40 series (the loudest). It resonated like CRAZY so I added a cheap resonator and its much better esp at 2-3k
