Been running my 3bspec HIDs for almost 3 years now with not even one flicker!

 

i currently have the mod express XTC kit that is their upgraded kit with black slim ballast and one of the bulbs went out after only 9 months or so. and what i mean by flicker is the fact that the light moves up and down allot in a shacking manner and its more noticeable when im close to the car in front of me.

DJ and dzone has one of your bulbs ever gone out?

 

So far none have gone out yet, running with 6000K on low beams. Haven't noticed any flicker either.

I just checked back on their site[HIDExtra] and noticed they only offer the matte black for the slim digital kit. It's been a moment since I've checked on the review for those but that kit has had it's issues when it first released, don't know how they are know.

 

No my bulbs have never gone out. 3bspec kits are kinda expensive compared to other companies. I got mine on a Christmas special 3 years ago for like $90. I have heard good things from meng motorsports kit, they usually have sales going on.

 

cool thanks for info guys.

 

looking to buy blue turning bulbs for my 07 tc. been looking around for a while and cannot find the right bulbs. i dont want something that i have to rewire. just a plug and play blue bulb. can someone reply with a link? many thanks.

 

Just search Google or Ebay for blue 7440 bulbs.

The regular filament bulbs are at the bottom.

 

so i have painted my hatch. i primared then painted with duplicolor super white. however upon finishing the hatch it now has a smooth egg shell finish not the glossy look i was looking for. do i just add clear coat?

 

Im planning on doing my clutch pretty soon i have everything ordered already Im just debating if i should get some engine mounts because im already going to be there. The only thing is i have heard people say it makes your ride really rough and i use my car as a DD what do you guys think?

 

hey everybody im thinking about going turbo in my 06 but it has an auto trans so i was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of anybody that has a turbo'd automatic i could run stuff by. thanks everybody,
Cliff

 

Alvarado, I'm running the front mount of the Speed-Source set(front is a replacement mount, the rear is the polyurethane bushing you need to swap/press in). Now I did notice more in-cabin vibrations when at a stop, once the car is in motion it goes away. I was on TRD springs, but once I got adjustable coilovers that kind of lessened the effect(currently on 8K rate springs all around), so that seemed to have tightened things up.

 

So just the front mount? Is it the Mount replacement or is it the insert? Do you think this Mod is worth the Cash? What do you like or Dislike about it? What does it improve? Wheel Hop and Handling?

 

The front is a complete replacement mount with the polyurethane bushing, just take out the OEM mount and bolt in the new, one of the easiest installs. It def reduces wheel hop to get the power to the ground, so you just have to control the throttle to limit the wheel spin. There are a few front mount replacements offered by a few companies, Ptuning had(maybe still does) a sale going on, and with their mount you can swap out for a stiffer bushing. I haven't seen a company release a replacement rear mount, all are currently a bushing you have to press into your OEM mount. What I like, wheel hop is reduced/to none, dislike:nothing really, maybe just the in-cabin vibration when stopped but I'm used to it, it's like a free massage lol.

 

What do you think about just replacing the fount mount and leaving the rear OEM?

 

Have any of you bought halo/angel eyes headlights that have everything set to go? I am looking into buying some headlights for my 05 tc and i see a bunch of them online that have halo/angel eyes..I just dont know what brand to get or what i am looking for exactly..i also see ccfl and Led, which one is better? overall, i want something that looks good so if any of yall have bought these headlights online answer my questions please!! lol thanks guys!! I saw these ones that i kinda like..let me know if they are worth it! http://www.octanemotorsports.com/Sci...duct_info.html

 

those are the same garbage headlights they sell on ebay,
just do a search for ebay headlights and youll come up with plenty of info.

 

I just did a quick search on them and it seems like all aftermarket headlights are trash.. are the 08's halos or just projectors or both? What would be the best option in order to get halos..always within a reasonable price that is..

 

The halos will eventually die, so why even waste your money? You could give these a shot, but you have to know what you're doing since it involves baking open your headlights.

For 08+

I don't think there are any threads on the reliability of these, so I don't know if the heat from the headlights will eventually wear these out or not.

 

So your saying that getting halos is a waste of money. Ok so in you opinion what the best thing to do to headlights that will make them look really good. I have my 05 stocks and they are pretty boring so i need something that will look great and last.

 

Just get some 08s.
