Leave it! I think it's slick and if you can see better behind you, WOOOO!!!!

 

wow...
keep that bad boy in!!!
I really like how your silver box looks with tinted tails and a blacked out scion emblem..
I want your reverse light!!!

 

Why take it out? Must be super bright for backing up at night now.
Is it a 35 watt HID? Did you rewire from the battery all the way back?
Do you have a close-up picture of the bumper and light with the light off?
I'd like to see what it looks like compared to the stock housing and plastic lens.
Thanks for being the pioneer.

 

yes a 35w hid ...8000k...u want a picture of the bulb in the housing?i can do that probably tomorrow...thanx man...i was just really bored at work and i been wanting to do it since i got it in may...

 

Just want to make sure; you didn't put the HID bulb in the stock plastic housing did you?

 

actually i did....

 

That HID bulb should be a lot hotter than the 21w 7440.
I would worry about a melt down if the light's left on very long.

 

i know it probably takes away some of my glory...but i did put into consideration that im not going to be constantly sending it power in which i believe it will not heat it up enough to melt it ...it similar to a headlight housing so that made me believe it would not melt it...

 

Very good, no glory lost. As far as I know, you're the first guinea pig to try it.

Don't need a picture of the bumper with fixture now, but it would be great to see a shot of how well it lights the distance away from the back at night... you know, what you'd see from the driver's seat when backing up.

Thanks.

 

no problem i will take a picture when i get a chance.....

 

I want to know if you used the stock wiring as well?? or did you run seperate power to it & a relay from stock wiring?? & I am dying to know this!! Please spill the beans, marcemarcBOB..... thanks for the reply & thanks in advance for a FUTURE DIY on how you stuck a 35 watt bulb into your stock fixture!! Explain that one too,. Man!! All the glory to ya!! Great Job!!! jh

 

i was wondering what size hid bulb was used

 

H11 low beam bulb

 

thanks

 

hey marcemarcxb08 can you share w/us what you did and what parts you used to have it work? also how is the stock housing holding up?
