Anyone have any suggestions with the bulbs in my fog? Should I go HID or JDM yellow?
I will eventually go yellow personally, but that's because I wanna be like Takumi.

Yeah, I took the picture while sitting on the curb so there's a lot of glare. I had my friends drive in front of me to see, I even made my gf and my dad to do the same to see if it bothered them, they all told me its alright. My dad told me its better than an escalade pulled up behind him when he's in a sedan.
Dude, I used to hate cars with overly bright lights. Then I moved to Orange County. We have trucks with 5 foot raises on them, and HID kits. Un-adjusted HID kits.

I think the last one that pulled up behind me detached my retinas. Through my tint.

Nice job on the install! Looks clean! Do you enjoy the quality of the light better than aftermarket bulbs? Not the brightness, I mean the light itself.

Yes, I love the quality of the light way better than just bulbs. I tried to use the pure blue luminics for the fogs compare to the HID, its definately not blue, seem turquoise. I have a set on my 03 camry too, I can actually see the road in the rain compare to aftermarket bulbs which I have tried or even stock halogen bulbs.

I will eventually go yellow personally, but that's because I wanna be like Takumi.
Yeah, I know its just a color preference, I've decided that I'm going to take the bulbs back and exchange it for the JDM yellow for fogs. I will post pics with the HID's tomorrow if anyone is interested in seeng.

Whats the cost?
We bought 10 sets, each were about 160 each I believe, pretty cheap compare to other brands out there over 200. If HID's were over 200, I prolly wouldnt have bought it and instead use that money elsewhere. I'm cheap, but I still want quality

There's some good deals on those projectors, but yeah...I just can't put my lamps into the oven, it just scares me...I'll just wait till some manufacturer makes some premade projector lamps...

Today I went to exchange my Luminics Pure Blue to JDM Yellow and I replaced with the stock bulbs from the fogs. Below you will find the HID's with the Luminics JDM Yellow bulbs. I like the combo a lot, the fog does actually look more yellow then the picture projected. Let me know what you guys think!









After washing my car in and out for 2.5 hours on the past hot and sunny saturday, Today, So, Cal decided to rain and hail (scare the crap outta me) while I was at work see those ice nuggets fall onto the glass roof.

I actually found them at a local honda dealer that was selling aftermarket parts while I was there buying the s2000 antenna. I think luminics has a website where you can purchase online.

http://www.luminicsbulbs.com

or

http://www.luminicsdirect.com

I dont know what the difference of the two companies are but they sell the same product.

The luminics are yellow compare to stocks, I know the picture doesnt show the yellow really well, in person you will notice a lot of difference. What do you mean different color bulbs? I tried using those hyper white, pure blue, the problem is when you have HID's and you place those type of bulbs right under, they dont seem like the color that was labeled on the package, They all seem to look green or turquoise which looks like christmas lights to me. I thought it was my eyes but all my friends think so as well.
