Sumo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Haha, thats a good discription!!, covers have been ordered Will the covers throw the light pattern off I wonder? When i used to have covers on an 82 280ZX i used tinted headlight covers and from what i experienced is that they made the stock lights dim. So if i ever did go out at night i usually just removed them and put them back on in the daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenshinX Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I like them alot. +1 for the covers. The lights are definitely badass. I will be getting a set in the future when i can afford them of course lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrick719 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i have these in my 280zx. i got the car for free and know nothing about the car or whats been done to it. any one have a clue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrariferg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Looks great. Cant wait to see it with the covers. I have the cheap ebay projector housings on my 280zx right now, but as I learned right after I bought them they are horrible. The stock lights just didn't cut it for me and these are a little better but those are what I was looking for from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmjay Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Looks really cool. Just fyi though, the differences in the 8000K and 5000K bulbs are color and has nothing to do with the physical brightness of the lamp. HID's are meant to replicate the color of natural daylight, which natural vision reacts to better. The average color temperature of natural daylight is 5000-6000K. The higher in the spectrum it goes, the more blue the light is...the lower it goes, the more red. So, just letting ya know that if you don't really like the blue color, you can swap them out for the 5K's and you will have the same light, it will just be less blue and more of a silver. (Light is what I do professionally. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Light is what I do professionally. ) Not only will they be less blue, more usable light will be emitted. The lamps originally come with 5500K bulbs. He wanted to swap them to a more blue color and asked for 8000K. What the customer wants the customer gets Refer to post: 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantXtremes Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i have these in my 280zx. i got the car for free and know nothing about the car or whats been done to it. any one have a clue Those are the Sylvania XP6024 older generation. They are about $499 for ONE brand new. For both lamps its about $999.99 brand new. If you ever need a bulb replacement for those let me know.

I didn't realize that he wanted the blue color. Didn't know if it was assumed that the higher color temp meant more light...which it doesn't. Anyway...with your posting the prices of that kit, then I think that ebay sale is a helluva deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texis30O Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 It is not retarded when you can see 10x better than the O.G. bulbs. You really can't put a price on seeing better at night. Especially at highway speeds or 100+........it can make the differance between a close call and a bad wreck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrick719 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 still if my car did not come with them i would never even though of putting them on. would rather put the money toward rust reapir or new shocks and bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slown280z Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sell them, put some decent halogens on it, then ditch the car, that should leave you with close to $2k to get a better Z (like not a ZX!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrariferg what type of lights do you have just so i know what not to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrariferg Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 They are just the projector housings that float around on ebay for like $30. I figured I could get those and and then I could get the HID ballast and bulbs later. These scatter light all over and the projector lens is a badly made fog light lens. Just avoid them. If you just want to upgrade so bulb replacement is easier then get a set of housings from MSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Are the Acura TL bi-xenon projectors still the best on the market currently? I'm looking for a full setup hear shortly, and want to make sure I'm not buying out of date equipment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
