Well, I put the new HID like lights in the car and I must say I am impressed. I have friends with the Silverstar bulbs but I like these better. As far as driving visability, there is a little less light put on the road but it is barely noticable. Here are the pics..

[wolverinewizard]

I might consider getting some...H7 for the headlights and H4 for the fogs, right?

Think its H3 for the fog lights ..

Are the bulbs Titanium or Xenonmach?

 

[Jerry03Arc]

These are the xeonmatch bulbs. They were $28 a set for the headlights and fogs. (H3 and H7). I also got the 5w5 city lights. If enough people like them I will write the sales guy I was working with and see if we can get a group buy.

You changed the lowbeams, high beam and fogs?

Looks nice, thinking about getting the xenonmatch plus or mabye the xenonmatch Vi but was curious about the connectors, did you need to get them for your setup?

 

[Jerry03Arc]

I did not do the high beams. I don't use them that often, and when I do use them there is no one else on the road (proper high beam etiquette). So the question is, if you have cool headlights and there is no one around to see them do they really exist?
I changed the lows, fogs, city lights, and installed the silvania turn indicators. I didn't like the ones Hoes offered, they were still to orange.

To anyone who changed their turn indicators.. PY21W did you notice that the small bump on the lightbulb casing did not match up with the factory offset on their turn signals. I just jammed mine in. Am I the only one?

I guess that's a good point - though if the high beams offered better coverage (not sure?), they'd be worth changing.

These are the ones you got, correct?

You used the H7 fogs for headlights? I assume that because the price matches what you paid, and the others don;t....

I don't know why they list the H7 as fogs as well as the H3, but yes it is listed as H7 fog. (It is the standard H7 mounting and headlight bulb size, they just name it wierd)

He is away at college right now, but I think he is coming home in 2 weeks for spring break. I can do it then.

 

[epsilon93]

jerry, do the bulbs have some blue tint coat on the glass body? Is the bulb housing glass or quartz?

 

[M4Gunner]

hahahaha... wow, thats a HUGE difference! lol, may be a more effective before & after if ya take em at night!


ive already got silverstars, i just wanna see them side by side, like he already posted. just w/ the silvers and the hoens.

Jerry03,
The H3 fog housing looks different on the HOEN site. Since you have done this change, do the bulb and housing fit and mount correctly in the fog holder? The Manual is not very clear on how to get at the fogs. what do I do there?

Also, Your ARC does not have Xenons?

Also, without running out to my car, are the city lights, the little inside ones that are yellower than my Xenons?

I would love to make these changes.

Thanks
E

There actually is a huge difference if you look ... he clearly changed the signal lights ... :cheesy:

 

[M4Gunner]

lol, eyah, i see. Rather than buying new bulb, i just tinted my blinkers. has the same effect. still blinks amber... yayy for me!~

The H3 bulbs fit perfectly. There is no housing difference.

Unfortunately my Acr does not have Xeons

the stock city lights are very yellow looking even compared to the standard halogen. Swapping them out will make a huge difference. When you are ready to make the switch and I will post simple instructions to removing the city lights as it has been a problem for many on here.
