So HID's arrived from Beijing in like 3 days.
Just purchased projectors this morning.
I'm excited.
I also have another Yankee Workshop project in assembly, need to get pictures taken and posted of that.

Looking for tails.
I need a freaking day off to install this stuff.

Looking at these tails:

Those tails are really nice looking..I'm guessing the top pic is the before? I'd like to see those things on a car and lit up.

those look good Steve.

The top pic is with the parts taped off before whoever (i'm guessing Flip?) sprayed them.

I don't think it is FLIP'S work because of different ground. Maybe it was in inside his garage.

There is his work. There are lot of neat idea in this link. My both cars are from medium tint. No problem so far. No pull over by Ohio police which they have been behind me few times. As long it is cool for them. Not sure about Florida's law.

I like new black led projector which it was like few weeks ago. It is finally full black instead black/chrome from 1st projector.

palsut, those tails are flips. They are on GPONA and he is selling them for like $150 or something.

Those black projectors are HORRIBLE palsut! If you are going to be getting projectors buy the ones that were first introduced or dont buy any at all. The first ones (that everyone has) are the best projectors as far as light output and durability is concerned. Plus the ones that you posted up in that link are ugly as sin!

I'm talking about new one which it was from same company Spyder. I read at club site that they actually like that. I don't see any negative about new one. Maybe you are 1st? lol

Sorry, Steve for off-topic. Good luck install them. Looking forward to see them. I remember I seen your fogged headlight. I'm sure it will look better with new projector that you have. wink

The projectors Tim and I have are the best ones to date, the newest ones are junk, the output sucks even with HID's and the turn signal bulbs in the center dont look good at all.

lol yeah I should know that but reason I thought it is different person because FLIP always took a picture of tails on his driveway which it is gray on background instead that picture (pink floor background) from you post. I guess it was inside of garage floor instead his driveway. I just saw picture of silver paint with tint on that car first time today. Look nice.

I don't like led too but I like full black projector. I know turn signal is ugly but I have white one. I'm just not a fan of black/chrome mixed. I wish they could make full black from what 01 gt, 20gtp02 or boostengtp02 have that projector.

I was patient waiting for full black until I finally see new one. I just like finally! But some of you hate it lol

There is new black led projector on black car pictures if you haven't seen it yet.

http://www.clubgp.com/newforum/tm.asp?m=5151044&p=1&mpage=4&tmode=1&smode=1&key=&language=

Oh well maybe more waiting game then. wink

So I snapped some pics this morning.
I'm still browsing on making sure install of these items goes smoothly.
I can't seem to find the write up for wiring this HID kit in, given I had seemed to remember seeing a bunch of stuff on here, given Longzerg posted a few times on helping people out.

The wood box you see in the trunk is my new thought of keeping the music out of my trunk an forcing it into the cabin.
I purhcased a pair of the shown foam capsules from Crutchfield.com for $15.99 shipped.
They are 5" deep, Crutchfield sells some that are 3.5" deep.
Well given I test fitted the capsules and noticed that the 6x9 speaker isn't alone, that there is a high speaker back there.
So I was like darn.
I also thought the capsules were rigid, like a hard plastic. But they are foam like and that will absorb the sound more than bounce it off.
So pops said give him measurments and he'd cut the pieces so I could make a box.
I have both made, just one is temporarily mounted to see how it works.
I'm going to sand them and paint them black so they blend in.
I've noticed a difference with just the one in, hopefully a much more noticeable difference with both in properly mounted.

Light output between the 1st and 3rd gen projectors are similar. Without seeing them in person it'll be hard to say one far exceeds the other. Cameras just don't do justice to light output, too many variables with exposure settings and whatnot. The pics in the clubgp thread are also poor because the comparison vehicles have the lights adjusted quite differently...
