I chain my z to a poll, remove my wheels, and pull my engine every night to prevent theft... so far its worked.

pm'd

Do you know exactly what bulb it takes? (if not do you know exactly what car its from?) Also do you have an upgraded headlight harness? I'll PM you a quote when you let me know.

Yeah there are lots of different options. Let me know if you need an HID kit for it.

1. use a cheap H4 housing 2. cut a hole 3. glue in place 4. wire up. 5. enjoy being able to see at night again

Beige interior is ugly as hell. But what do you expect for 20k?.... Going to have to make some sacrifices?

Carzen.com

You didn't make it too clear that you were asking about the cars you listed. I think that's why we all have been naming cars other than what you initially posted. In that case, go Mazda 3s. They have been getting good reviews (from what I remember). Not a fan of the new Honda's. Good reliable cars w/good MPG but ugly as hell IMO.

No VW? Audi A4? They are pretty quick and get 30+mpg. Jetta TDI? BMW 330i? Decently fast. I have a 530I and get 30+mpg, 260HP ~$20K. All the fun cars are 2 door. The Hyundai Genesis sounds pretty awesome for the price. $20K for a 1.8L turbo. 30mpg and a good warranty. They claim it fits adults in the back seats comfortably.

I'm a senior?.....

I am looking for an American manufacture for my classics headlight. I also need another sample to be created. I don't have access to the one that's been made already. I have the autocad for what goes inside the light but not for the 7" round housing. PM me if you think you have the background for one of these projects

my little cousin has autism. Go you!

anyone know how would these look with dark dark tinted windows?

I rest my case lol

My bad, I did jump the gun on the reflection comment. You can have good light spread using reflective housings but I believe that the optimum/ideal housing would be in a projector. I just believe that there are ALOT of housings that have not been designed to provide a safe light output. Spending more money does not automatically give you a better product but many times it does. I don't put cheap speakers in my car bc they will blow quickly. I put better quality speakers in which may be more expensive than the cheapies but not necessarily tons more money. Best bang for your buck is the way!

Another thing, I am against H4 kits which move the bulbs up and down when you flip high/low beams. The last thing you want to do is physically move the light bulb. This is the way to go (I put these on my kits) HIDs are powerful enough to be your high beam too (with proper focus). A flap controls the high and low beams.

I deal a lot of music instruments (especially violin bows). The difference in quality between a $5 bow and a $10 bow is extraordinary. I used to buy the cheapy bows that lasted a few months then tried out the $10 bows and for $5 more you get MUCH better quality wood, hair, and handle that makes a huge difference. So for paying a little more, I get a much better quality. This is all up for interpretation. But most of the time in a normal (a.k.a. you are not getting screwed) transaction, the more value you put in, the more you get in return. If you buy a new car, are they going to give you the sport, premium, luxury packages for free? No you have to pay for them and those are the things that make your car better. Off topic lol HID kits should only be used in housings that use true projectors. That housing you posted is just a H6024 housing with a fake projector lens that does not do anything. A projector magnifies the light straight onto the road while that housing uses a reflective system which is hard to control the light spread (and you can blind people). With REAL projectors you can control the focus of the light (light spread). Here is an interesting video on retrofit HIDs. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversions/conversions.html Bi-xenon= high/low

look similar to cheap ebay kits to me... //cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/75-76-77-78-DATSUN-S30-260Z-280Z-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS-B_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4a9ce58475QQitemZ320459867253QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories You get what you pay for...

i just threw up a little...

I got a deluxe kit for my s130. SUPER easy to install took me a day. Also got the combo lock kit. Everything works great. The plug on the door fits pretty much flush for me. Don't even notice it (black interior).

Very well put. (I am part Taiwanese ) so I am a bit bias. I am glad there are lots of people here with experience. I just wanted to shed some light on it. Most people haven't really dealt with other countries and are used to buying items off the shelf. It's a shame how the small percentage of manufactures that do cut corners can hurt the reputation for the rest of them. All in all... good thread tangent

I understand. What I am trying to say that right off the bat they are making a claim which is unethical and a lie. From my experience... once I see or sniff out a lie, I AUTOMATICALLY move to the next company. The last thing I want to do is deal with anyone that isn't honest. China is absolutely the worlds #1 manufacture. I deal with roughly 60 manufactures from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan each year and import 15-20 40 foot containers annually into the states. A product with components from Japan or Germany and is assembled in China still cannot say Made in Japan/Germany. If you have never dealt with Chinese manufactures then you guys have the slightest idea of the shi* they pull and say to earn a buck. No joke. Sorry if I am being harsh. It's an unspoken truth.

This is the only line that REALLY concerns me. I deal with this customs stuff all the time and it is actually very very very very very illegal to say MADE IN JAPAN/GERMANY when in fact it is made in China. If you guys can walk away with one thing, its that some (not all) Chinese companies will do and say anything for your $$. This could be a very reputable company with good stuff. But the "made in Japan/Germany" claim makes me VERY concerned. I would ask who they OEM for. Look up the brands and lights and see what people say about them before you purchase them. Better safe then sorry.

Dang $86.99 for digital slims and bixenon is a pretty good deal. Make sure they aren't made in china. Their cheap ballasts and bulbs are TERRIBLE. If anyone is interested in retrofitting, I have some hq H4 projectors. Nicely cut patterns and the high/low mechanism is built into the projector (no need for the bulb to actually move and change focus). PM me if you have any questions. $140 shipped. I have one set right now and should have some in stock by the end of the month.

I apologize for the criticism before. Your lights have a great cutoff. I still think projectors are the way to go to get the "newest" tech into our old cars. My projectors have a flap that drop down to show the brights. This is the best solution without buying bi-xenon HIDs (which = more $$). Let me know if you need some HQ projectors for your build. Good quality projectors are ridiculously overpriced. I will be also importing projectors by themselves. Check out my forum for pics. Usually when we hear the words H4 and HID in the same sentence, we automatically assume they are shi*ty ebay lights. Great job!
