Default Halogen to HIR (pics)

I upgraded my OEM bulbs to HIR's last night. The pics don't really show the visability well, but they do show the improvement. I forgot to take a before high beam pic ... sorry.

Something far less superior to HID.

Looks good, but I still don't get why you didn't just get a 6000k kit...

Already explained.

You can think your HID's are superior. It's good to have your own opinions.

...... oh, and my -Yota Crap- will smoke your Accord, so what does that make your car?

I'm just playing around... you are the engineer.

And once you have that turbo in of course you would rape me, but you'd have to drive out to Minnesota to do it!

You: 152 ft.lbs. / 2990 lbs = 0.0508 ft.lb. / lb.
Me: 163 ft.lbs. / 2905 lbs = 0.0561 ft.lb. / lb.

Plus I have much shorter gears and no wheel hop.

LOL .... it'd be a decent race .... but do you think that you still have the 155 ft.lbs without compression?


BTW - Jealous of the LSD .... I need one of those. $1050 for the part, ouch!!!
