alright so I ordered a set of Luminics 9005 Ultra Violet bulbs for my tC earlier tonight, and I just came across a handfull of threads talking about fried harnesses and what not... eek.

Some have said this is just due to Luminics having bad connectors and conductive grease would prevent any problems. Do you guys think that the grease would be enough, or should I order this heavy duty harness adapter to be safe?:

any input would be great :-)

 

im sorry

 

2 things,

1. worst bulb manufacture ever. they fried my harnesses in less then a month.

and
2. that harness is CRAP you can literally get the same thing at autozone for less then 5 bucks.

use stock bulbs or hids

 

what did you have to do to fix your fried harness?

 

OMFG DONT GET ME STARTED.
i have the bulbs in my headlights and fog lights.

Headlights-
CANT SEE POOP
CANT SEE EVEN MORE POOP

Foglights-
CANT SEE POOP

when i get hids im gonna leave the ones in the fogs (FOR NOW)
however, my luminics never burnt the harness.

 

Yeah I wasnt expecting much visibility with UV tinted lights, but its just for the highbeams. I just think highs with a purple tint would look good next to my HID lows which have a blue tint

 

i went to the dealer and put the new factory harnesses on them and ran the oem bulbs till i could get HIDs

also the visibilty with them (like tctctc said) is HORRIBLE your high beams mind as well be dlrs lol. cus you wont see sht with them

 

DONT DO IT!

 

nope it wont. you'll regret it. sorry

 

well damn it lol

I already ordered em so I guess I might as well give em a shot...

if they fry my harnesses I can really take my sweet time getting it fixed since its just my brights

I knew I should have waited for the local shop to restock the purple HALO bulbs in 9005, impatience might have gotten the best of me once again...

 

i would call them in the morning, if they havent shipped cancel and get your money back.

 

bad move, they were worse than my stock bulbs.......retro ftmfw!

 

why would I retro fit projectors or use HIDs at all for my highbeams.....


I'll try to cancel to order tomarrow

I want purple highs though! lol
how purple are those Nokya arctic purple bulbs?

 

Get HIDs from Mod express, ask for Robert. Do some research before you order electronic because you could *** a lot of things up

 

lol mod express

get the HIDs from operatic he ships them overnight for 130

i have them in fogs and lows, used to have them in highs but took them out (took too long to warm out lol)

great customer service and you cant beat overnight shipment for free

 

I didn't think lightbulbs could do so much damage

and again I do not want HID highs, I dont use highs that much so buying HIDs for them would not be a wise use of money. Highs sometimes are used to flash at other drivers, this sort of rapid on off use of the lights would damage the ballasts. Sometimes my highs arent on long enough for an HID bulb to warm up, this is bad for the bulbs.

I do not want HID highs

 

just leave teh stock ones in there then.
