wonder if this has been attempted by anyone. i just bought these signal lights off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

when i get these lights, im going to stick the signal bulb into my clear corners then put in h3 bulbs into the signals. what do you guys think?

Elton

melt them for sure

gary96360

i was thinking that to. maybe just purchase 35watt hid bulbs because i already have extra ballasts and try that. hopefully it doesnt melt

Elton

lol i doubt it will make for a useful light

i just bought fog lights and compared the reflectors to my h4 headlight housing. the h4 one looks pretty reflective. the fog lights have this cheap reflector crap which are prolly going to melt for sure using 100watt bulbs. i bet these signals have the same kind of reflector thingie as the foglights. it really doesnt matter to me if they dont work well. just will call it a failed experiment hhaa

what id do is get a 4 1157 sockets and amber bulbs so now the bumper and corners light up together and flash

I did that with my old Accord and it worked perfectly.

The optics on the aftermarket turn signal assemblies are garbage, and it's not worth trying to make fog lights out of them.

HID is just going to blind everyone with the glare.

They look pretty nice but im sure the lenses were made as cheap as possible so the light output is going to be horrible

the hids in my headlights just blind everyone on the road, so now i resort to using halogen high beams everywhere i go at night,only using the hids during the day for looks. the highbeams arent even bright at all.

If you want the look of HID, you could always add some LED city lights into your housings by drilling a small hole, adding a hyperwhite LED and hooking them up to your running lights.

If you wanted to keep the HID in your retrofitted H4 headlamp, you might want to try and look into a set of these.

No Cutting Retrofits

The only thing I have no idea on is how much room there is in the 4x6 style assembly as far as fitting these in. I have a feeling there isn't enough room.

I'm planning on going with the Hella conversion kit and then getting the Hella Xenon +30% Long Life bulbs for now, simply b/c I don't want to invest the money into the HID retrofit.

I will say though, once you have projector based HID, you won't ever go back. My daily has it, and when I drive my truck @ night, it's like someone is just shining two flashlights out the windows. Granted, my sealed beam units look like the might still be the OEM ones.

i dont like the idea of drilling holes into my housing and putting in leds that prolly arent that bright. i just checked out the link and the cutofff from those lights look sick. im sick and tired of all the hid light going all over the place from my setup.

turn signals are just that, signals. They are not designed for light projection. Don't waste your time. You could always find cheap fog/driving lights that will fit into that space with little modification.

This would probably be the best
