1BadCB : 1991 Accord EX

[1BadCB]

Needs tsx projectors now.

I wish! lol

Yup, that's my Q. How's the output since the chrome plating is painted over?

The dim out put is not very good since the bulb is covered by that bulb cover. Im going to take that off and see what it looks like then. The brights are just fine imo.

[GenDBlade]

im pretty sure that taking the bulb cover off of the low beam is illegal

Probably so....
I wouldn't know for sure though. I've never done research on it. Cops aren't too picky around here anyway

[renegade28x]

it is illegal lol and with HIDs that would be knda bright but then again idk how the output would be in a whitehouse housing....pics por favor

[sikz6]

you have a good looking cb and you've definitely put some time into the car and it shows.

idk but i like the smoked corners with the white out headlights
oh yeah and the door panels look real good. i have to redo mine. they are looking pretty horrid

2. What color will the car be?

2.I'm not revealing the color of the car yet.

may be wrong but i thought you said you were going back to the original frost white change of plans?

looking forward to seeing the pics with new wheels, paint, tails etc.

i agree that it's more rewarding when you actually do all the mods/repairs
yourself and not take credit for stuff you didn't do. i'm kind of the same when it come to the electrical stuff, my boyfriend is better at that than i am. i'm still learning, but most everything else i can handle.

Good, lol.
The only girls, off-hand, that i can think of that are here at least semi-monthly are...

Rusty
greenbme
2.2azul
MidnightRayne
Jenn("camel toe girl") lol i cant remember her s/n

Those are the ones i can think of right now.

lol @ "camel toe girl"


you can add me to the list. i'm on here pretty frequently (almost every day) just haven't posted that much.

I have been very busy...
And getting busier by the day. My new bumper came in today.
Starting paint prep friday evening to have it ready for paint next monday.
Then finally going to slap on my rims and tires now that the weather has finally cleared up. I'm so excited! And I cant wait to see how it turns out.

Can't wait to see the colour and the new rims with the new paint!!

Love the Kenwood stereo! I have Honda OEM's head unit (from Australian S2000) and guess what they are made by Kenwood (premium version no doubt)!! Love the sound and OEM feel and look!!

I have the same head unit in my Prelude which i love so much (best and most intuitive controls) that i got another for my CB. I plan to build it to have exactly the same sound system configuration.

Thank you, this car has been years in the making.And most of those years have been restoration. This car was absolute trash when I bought it. I've just recently (in the last year or so) started doing a lot of mods.

I did change my mind on the color...I like the frost white but I found another color that I fell in love with. I just have to have it.

I ordered new corner lights last night and they should be in soon. They are smoked amber to match my tail lights.

I can't wait to see it either!! haha. I'm so excited to finally get this car going somewhere and getting noticed.


And yes Kenwood is amazing. It sounds sooo much better than any other head unit I've had. so clean sounding and the bass is not distorted at all.

Man I'm digging the white house head lights I'm thinking bout doing the same thing to the lights on my wagon.

Thanks, just letting you know that the visibility isnt that great on the dims if you paint the reflective surfaces like I did.

. I'm getting 8k hids to hep with that but I can deal with it. Just letting you know lol good luck!

[MikeW]

6000k HIDs ftw.

I hate sounding all..."whatever" but optimal light output, i think, is somewhere between 4500k and 5500k. The higher the number, you start getting into blues and purples. Yeah, they look cool, but optimal, BRIGHT, output goes down as the number goes up.

Just saying.

[Shadow1]

well if you were gonna white out the entire housing then you should be thinking about doing a retrofit to fix the output problem





that way it'll still look good AND you'll have the output that you need to be able to see at night.

I notice you even without a paintjob

I'm sure its not just me.

Just had to say it...Lol

yes, I completely understand that. I just cant stand a yellowish looking light. 8k and 6k are my favs because they are pretty much a pure white color. I want an HID that I like looking at from outside the car, as well as good light output.

I plan on doing this asap! as soon as I find some good projectors.

haha thats good, I guess. lol that means I'll get noticed MORE after the paint job.
