demuire Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 DIY Silvervision bulbs Umm... I wonder how you come up with a bright idea like this :) Let's all paint our bulbs to make them look different! I've got some red HT paint I used to paint my calipers, maybe I should paint my headlight bulbs to make my headlights red! :P Quote
demuire Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Posted September 16, 2004 And for the HID look :P Quote
Medicine_Man Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) Makes me wonder what the legalities of coloured lights are, some can be seriously annoying when driving.. Especially when they are behind you blinding you.. Edited September 17, 2004 by Medicine_Man Quote
demuire Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Heh, with both of these "mods" I recon your lights would be dimmer than usual anyway, so no chance of blinding anyone else :P Quote
irokin Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 if you wanted to try it go buy some gels from any stage lighting supplier :P should dim the lights alot less... Quote
demuire Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Not to mention probably shortening the life of your bulbs due to extra heat retained... Quote
irokin Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I think the ones medicine man is talking about is like the focused beam ones from BMWs and the like...they suck...really blind you when they hit a bump and the beams flash up.... The proper HID lights I really like, nice soft light behind you.... Quote
demuire Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Don't the BMW's etc HAVE proper HID lights? I thought they did. Quote
irokin Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 lol yes they do I meant compared to the normal yikky yellow bulbs.... Quote
demuire Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 Ah right :) Like mine you mean :P Quote
Ruts Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I bought those superblue globes from SuperCheap and the difference is amazing. I should have taken a shot with just one side changed - the colour difference is evident in the photo below tho .... the headlights now actually look white and look how bad it makes the parkers look - almost brown !!

Nitephyre Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 the century has those bright white/blue bulbs. now, i've always hated them, but thats from them blinding me, but i have to admit having them on MY car they're alot better than the old yellow ones Quote
irokin Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Some wanker in a GTiR had GREEN! lights behind me last night...they were the single most annoying headlights ever.... Quote
