ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Does anybody know how to make standard light bulbs fit as headlights?

    I was thinking about the new LED lights, and thought the one I have in my house would make an excellent headlight. So; anybody done a conversion?

    MRT
    37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car

    Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

        The optics that our 9006 bulbs produces is designed to work with our housings. The way that the light comes off of the bulb is critical in getting decent light. With the LED bulbs that are directional the headlight housing is no match for it and wont do squat.

        However on http://autolumination.com they have 9006 LED bulbs but they arent that bright. There are a few manufactuers that are experimenting with LED, I think nissan leaf is one, but its a little far from being great.
        What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

        You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!
