lol thanks

 

hey guys, i have 2010 tc i recently replaced one of my HID ballast and bulb because the ballast died, when i noticed the new new one i put in was brighter and more blue than the older one on the passenger side (they were both 8000k to begin with) so i replaced the passenger side one too, but the passenger side light is still looking more white like it would be a 6000k bulb than an 8k when the driver side one looks normal. Any ideas on what i could check to be wrong with it?? thanks.

 

Maybe you got sent the wrong temp bulb?

 

I thought it might be that but i checked the package that the kit came in and it said 8k on , and i plugged in the old 8k bulb and ballast and it was coming out the same color. it almost seems like the bulb is not getting as much power to it as the drivers side one. not sure if that is possible tho..?

 

Did you try swapping the bulbs to alternate sides?
Is there any physical marking on the bulb itself or just the package?

Im not the most knowledgable when it comes to HIDs, maybe a ballast issue?
Or if theres no marking on the actual bulb, it could still be the wrong temp, regardless of what the package says.

 

If you havent already done so, check out this thread.

Maybe you will find some useful info or an answer there.

 

i checked the packaging and it said 8k on it, the bulb seemed fine didnt have any scratches or anything. I gonna try swapping the alternate sides tomorrow and see what happens, i'll let u know. thanks for the help!

 

I know, im saying dont always believe what the packaging says.
At some point someone had to put those 2 bulbs into the package, its possible that someone made a mistake and put 2 diff ones in there.
Which is why I asked if theres any marking on the BULB itself, not the package.

 

yea thought u were sayin marks like scratches n stuff my B. But anyways the bulbs said H11 H8 on both of them, i switched the alternate sides out and that same one was coming in white on the driver side. you think i should buy a new ballast or should i get a new bulb too?

 

edit::thanks i figured it out but it didnt work.. the guy who sold me the fog wires didnt mention he messed with the cables.. anyways now

does anyone know where i can get the wiring harness that comes with the oem fog lights? anywhere but the dealer.

and for some reason my airbag light is on now any opinions on that?

thanks.

 

Looks like the Red Wire plugs into your switch from the picture
I would say the Yellow would be the Power
And Black Ground... I know you can bolt the ground right where you put all the switches thats what i did for mine.

 

Has anyone ever tried stretching tires on the stock 17inch rims? mostly curious. searched the forum and of course nothing came up.

 

whats the point?
people stretch tires to fit wider wheels and get better fitment.
you have to run a massssive spacer to even get those close to the fender.

 

^x2, also the load rating for the tire wouldn't be enough for the car.

 

and they prob dont even make tires in that size.
would be something in the 100's with a 17" diameter, lol.
thats like 15"/16" spec

 

lol haha well thanks for clearing that up.

 

Hey guys, first post on SL. I just got my tC about two weeks ago and have dropped a respectable amount of mods in it in the time given. When i wired my HID kit, i disconnected the battery. I was unaware that this resets all presets (time,Welcome message,EQ settings in head unit, ect.) After i reset all of my settings, i noticed my Bass was at 5 (max) and it was not "bumpin" like it was before. It sounds as if the settings are at 0. Any ideas, i'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread but i figured someone may be able to help. Thanks!

 

Your car is fine you just need to set your sub settings to feel again the SSP button i bet its on natural or something like that change it to feel again.

 

Thank you! I completely forgot about the ssp settings lol derp

 

Hey guys just wondering can anyone tell me if the RS1 rear lip when installed will cover the holes on the stock rear bumper that once had the Oem rear lip previously installed onto it? I know that the holes on the front lip will show but just wondering about the rear lip holes showing if I installed the RS1 rear lip instead. well let me know if you guys have any experience with the switch thanks...
