How much darker are smoked clear corners? - Page 2

Slicktastyk Matt · 01-19-2009, 02:39 PM

Well damn... these look MUCH darker than the pictures on AM's customer section. I'm probably going to go the HID route too if I do this. Do HIDs come in different brightnesses? I'd hate to be like the people I despise who have those on their SUVs or on their cars but are pointed upwards right into my mirrors and blind the **** out of me LOL.

HIDs dont have a wattage, the ballast do. And thats 35 watts.

The color temp is the brightness. The lower the number the whiter and brighter the light is. I think 6k is the perfect color. They're bright and are very white with a small hint of blue.

Is AM pretty much the best place to get these smoked clear corners, or is there another place that sells them for less?

EDIT: Also, on AM's site, it says I can add bulbs - the Luminics 9007 or Silverstar 9007, what's that? Are they brighter than stock bulbs?

i have the Silverstars and they didn't exactly blow me away. they are a little brighter/whiter than regular bulbs but not by much

you can buy them on ebay for like $100.. but i went with AM bc i didnt want to go through ebay.. make sure you seal the headlights with silicone...

and def get HID's if you are getting these headlights... they are cheap

I got em on the bay..save yourself the 100 and put it towards the HID's. They're all made by the same company anyway....

Where do most people get HIDs? I've seen the names HIDguy.net or something and vvme.com or something like that lol.

I tried looking for them on ebay but didn't find them for my year. Maybe I searched incorrectly.

Ox, you are the man. This may be a retarded question, but these are the exact lights as stock correct, only clear cornered and smoked?
