MY HIDS. 10000K

I think you've been swindled, no-one makes 10000k HID bulbs.
badinfluencemi16
what are you talking about.. HIDs run from 6,000k (yellow color), 8,000k (white color), 10,000k (blue color), & 12,000k (purple color).

Nope, it's a marketing gimmick, nobody makes a bulb above a true 8000k for automotive use, most not above 6000k, something like 4500k is the brightest btw. 12000k would be nearly ultraviolet, and completely useless.

badinfluencemi16
well, i dont know, all i know is that i have the blue hids, its the degree above the white, and the degree below the purple.

BTW my angel eyes just came in today, so i cant wait to put them on. wink.gif
cybernck
cool, keep us updated, i'm eager to see what angel lights look like coupled with HID's.
KRISKARRERA
They do look very bright.

By the way, what's that black rubber thing on your inlet manifold? Looks a bit like a gearbox-side engine mount with a cable coming out of it. Something to do with cruise control?
badinfluencemi16
yea, its the cruise control pump. for example if u go 70 mph and you want to stay at that speed, u click the cruise control button and that rubber piece creates a vacume and stays in that position until you push on the gas or brake.

also stay tuned for my light swap. im going to put on the angel eyes hopefully on saturday. i have to change the bulbs from the place i bought the HIDS from because on the new angel eye, the bulbs are now H1 instead of the original 9004. im also thinking of getting yellow hids or yellow bulbs to put on the high beems. it should look really nice.
borgo
To me it looks like around 8000k.

no they are not those fake HIDs with the blue glass.. these are the real HID kit. it costed me $380.00 USD.

MY NEW ANGEL EYES











i still need to get a couple of bulbs for the angel eyes, these are all regular factory bulbs, very dull in color.. i need to get some hyper white bulbs

Yes, but to get colours above 6000k usually they have to paint the tips of the bulb.
badinfluencemi16
no, i dont know about what they do in europe, but here in the states, the color is determined by the box that suppllies the power. the bulbs are the same, but the more powerful the box is, the more colorful it gets. for example, the 6,000 box supplies a strong white color, the 10,000 supplies a blues color, and the 12,000 supplies a purple color.. but the bulbs are all the same
lemans120
no disrespect but the fit looks a bit dodgy did they go on alright and can you get the plastic trims back on under the lights or have you got to modify them ,also looks a bit out against the wings could be just the photos though
cybernck
where have you bought these from?

the ones on ebay are a bit different...

hmm... actually, this is the style that's on ebay now, but they used to be a different style.
badinfluencemi16
yea i bought them on ebay, and yes they fit fine. they were only bolted on with two bolts because i had to take them off to wire up the headlight bulbs. but my motor is out of my car, and should be done in about 2 weeks. ill take some new pics when the car is finished. should look nice smile.gif
lemans120
that would explain it then they are an improvement on the standard ones i must admit i've been toying with the idea of those on the lemans with the smoked lexus rear lights but i feel i need to put it back to standard and put the bumper and grill on the track car.
badinfluencemi16
these are some pics of my car in da garage getting worked on







pugmi16vt
LOVE THE LOOK!! in comparison to the dual original ones with seperate sides.... Also are these glass or plastic? I went on ebay US and ebay UK but can't find them for the 405 anyone have a place I can pick up a pair??
cybernck
i'm not sure if they're available for RHD (yet) but "405 angel" brings them up for me (on ebay.de though).

p.s. please enter your details into your profile, especially your location information.
pugmi16vt
AHHH thats a killer smile.gif hehe I sooooo hope they make RHD... who can I contact? who is the actual maker of these ligts? just would be nice to have a single piece instead of the two seperate ones that I have now.
cybernck
well in the US the steering wheel is on your left hand side (hence LHD) so why are you bothered about RHD? biggrin.gif
pugmi16vt
LMAO!!!! OMG no comment wink.gif hehe I read that completely wrong..... yes LHD is what I was thinking...... sweet I am GTG.... so ebay.de it is hehe as I don't see any on ebay.com for me thanks again!!!!

bare with me lol but what are there many different models of the angel eyes? The ones on ebay.de look like the ones at the beginnin of this post yet the ones linked below are different looking.

http://cgi.ebay.de/SCHEINWERFER-PEUGEOT-40...1QQcmdZViewItem

http://tunimpex.fr/shop/product_info.php?products_id=384

anyone know which is recommended?
cybernck
as i said earlier in the thread:

i prefered the black ones over chrome ones, but new ones come only in chrome version it seems.

but when it comes to chrome ones, i prefer the new style (like the red 405 has on).
pugmi16vt
badinfluencemi16 where did you pick up your lights..... see that you live in NJ not to far from VT so was it a local place selling them or did you get them off ebay??? hehe thanks!!
badinfluencemi16
i actually got them on ebay. i think it was germany, it was some language that i didnt understand. i had to translate everything. lol. but they were vey expensive.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8076979863

this is the link to my auction that i won.
go to his other auctions, he should have more.
badinfluencemi16
heres some pics that i took right now.







pugmi16vt
OHH nice!! setup what are the guages in the left side for? you have turbo or supercharger in that thing?? Looks sweet!! and where did you get that steering wheel?? that a momo and the peugeot symbol in the middle??? wow very nice MI16 I love it!~! Please let me know

I would love to chat with you about some things..... is your yahoo IM still active. I added you but never see you on lol. let me know
cybernck
hmm i'd have to see them on a standard european Mi16 before making my mind up,
but i still think i'd rather paint the chromed parts black (at least for my white T16).
pugmi16vt
ya I keep looking at my options hehe.... Your car looks very nice. Can you hit me up with where you got that steering wheel, with the Peugeot symbol in the middle it is great! I also see the quad headlight conversion that Andreas MI16 had and it looked great.... was wondering about a conversion to what looks like the 406 headlights?? I was on this link http://www.auto-extreme.com/gallery/searcher.php?search=405
and see the green and oragne cars wich seem to have a custom Bonnet with what looks to be 406 headlights? Keep me posted on the steering wheel if you can would like to get one if they come in blue wink.gif hehe thanks!!
pugmi16vt
badinfluencemi16 not sure if you are still around on the forums.... hoping so hehe.... I really am interested in where you got the steeringwheel setup. I love it..... Please let me know where ya picked it up..... if anyone knows where to get it please let me know smile.gif

Thanks for your time
badinfluencemi16
hey sorry it took so long. i actually get everything from ebay... hehe... probably the best way to contact me is through myspace. www.myspace.com/ttracing405dl . of course you will have to be a member of myspace, which half the united states is part of. lol. or u could still leave me a message on this forum, it might take me a few days, but ill get around to it.

badinfluencemi16

I love the wheels, are they 17's or 18's?
badinfluencemi16
they are 17, they rub a little on the back when i go over bumps, and if i had 18, it would be even worse.
kenny
This is my angeleyes:







And my rearlight, I think theese looks great on my "black pearl"
http://www.kenmood.com/mi16/B.jpg
badinfluencemi16
im loving the rear lights and especially the front ones. i originally wanted the headlights that you have, i dont know whay i bought the ones i have now, but its all good, they look good anyways. the rear lights were spray painted at the bottom right???
kenny
That's right.. only spraypainted rolleyes.gif I was thinking of changing the rearlight too, but I must say the originale lights look the best with a little twist cool.gif

Here are some different lights for 405:
cybernck
wow, must say i've not seen most of those rear lights.

but i still think the standard (phase2 wink.gif) ones are the best.


let get back to your front ones though... are you using a HID kit with them?

do those rings ever light up and when, and what are those 4 small "lights"?
kenny

I agree with the phase2 lightt! I have all I need to get the phase2 rear end at my car, but I think I'll keep the car like it is for now..

Right now I only got the original light (2x H7), but I'm going to put on a HID or Xenon kit when I get the car back. The rings are actually always glowing when the car is running, but the light is too weak to see before it's dark.. But I'm going to do something about it.. The 4 small "lights" is actually leds.. But I'm going to remove them, they light up too much.. I was thinking of a strobekit (not sure if that is a word for you tongue.gif ) there for show use..

If I want to drive with just the rings (and the 4 leds) I just swith to park light..

where did you find all the different lights? i'm interested in the front indicators. all info greatly recieved, thanks Gavin.
kenny
All of them can be bought here: Auto Supply

post@auto-supply.no
badboyracer3500
thanks, but i have a prob. its all in a language i cant read. is there an english version? Gavin
kenny
I actually don't think so. But the lights isn't on the page anyway.. so you need to send an mail to them on the adress i wrote.. If yo want to understand Norwegian, there's a lot of translation pages that can tranlate the entire site for you. I just don't remember any adress right now cool.gif

If thay don't answer you in a few days, let me now. Then I can call them for you and ask whatever you want to know wink.gif
badboyracer3500
thanks, i'll mail them in a while.
i'm after the indicators an angeleyes if i've read it correct it says lhd and rhd which over here is left and right hand drive.
its funny as my black ph1 i'm after the trackstar kit, its already got smooth panel, quad lights, grille and m3 mirrors also tinted windows. i think the indicators will finish it off.
the angeleyes are for my ph2 as its already got the 360-ga chromed rear lights and i've got m3 mirrors ready to go on. its also tinted.
at the momment i'm waiting delivery on my alloys for the ph1 wolfrace street pro race 17" with 215 rubber.
its going to look pretty mean when finished.
thanks again Gavin biggrin.gif
