one of my headlights went out couple of days ago, one i bought off ebay. i checked it out and the actual headlight didn't go out but the connector to the headlight was halfway melted down. dam i didn't know that these headlights get that hot. oh by the way it's hiper industries or something like that. i had to use extra wire to get it working again. oh well

Get yourself a set of "real HIDs" I have and I love them..
Running at 35W only, the lenses dont even get hot!!
I have an extra set, email me if you are interested.

FYI, I went thru 3 sets of wire harnesses before i finally
get my senses together and got me a set of HIDs.

Hey Jason, put your mods in your sig... click on profile located at the upper right corner, and paste your mods inside the signature box. You won't have to copy and paste your mods everytime you post...

XeLZ... higher wattage bulbs equals hotter bulbs (same as incandesant(sp?) bulbs). Make sure your plastic lense aren't melted because they're expensive.

hey, Y2KevSE..

hey, kev...
i saw that you have the stillen Y-pipe on your car.
i'm thinking about buying a Y-pipe for my car too.
i was wondering which one is better...stillen or cattman?
i heard that stillen ones are not made of stainless steel....have you notice any rust problems with yours yet?

thanks in advance.

Since we don't have horrible winters (i.e. snow and salt), we don't really have to worry about rust. I live near the ocean, so that's as bad as it gets..... I've noticed some tiny rust spots, but nothing major. It's up to you if you want the SS or the Stillen. I saved $$$ and got the Stillen
