Hogan (yo_its_ok) sold me some panasonic HID's, the color on these lights are AMAZING. They have that white/purple look that Audi/BMW has and they light up the road soooo white. Definetly worth $450. I had 3 friends with me in the car and they were in awe... Pics and Vids tommorow. night... im beat

 

How was the install? I've ordered a set from Hogan myself!

 

I can't wait to get my kit from Hogan. How long did it take for the install? Do you think you'll miss the highbeams much?

 

Hogan installed them at the meet, like 10-15 minutes (at 11pm outside hehe). It Didnt look to bad... but would definetly take me longer. We had a lil problem with one of the balasts or something because one light went out but we gotta check it out. As far as high beams go... I dont miss them. The way home was so lit up it was crazy, i got flashed like 15 times. But you're supposed to re-aim the lights 6 inches down when you get the HID's and I didnt do that yet...

 

Bastard.

 

Congrats on the HIDs ... 10-15 minutes ... hehehe... I think Hogan was rushing cause everyone was pressuring him, crowding him, waiting for him to install them so everyone could see.

I have a pic of that somewhere.....

 

man i really thought he had more than one set...

 

It's ok, I'm not bitter or anything ***cough***bastard***cough***. BTW, make sure you aim them today, you can blind pilots with those things.

 

yea lol I was definetly lighting up the tree's on the parkway like it was christmas... they're aimed really high right now, Reaiming them tonight at my friends shop.

 

Cool, oh and change the clearance lights to orange, and rewire then so that they are always at 27W .

 

20 Maximas and a RS 2.5, nice 'little' meet, thats bigger than most meets, and this one took place in te dark! Hogan, yo its ok.

 

medicsonic... I believe I have a reason to be even more jealous than you... you see... Hogan reserved that set for me or else it would have been sold a loooong time ago. I didn't have enough money and Hogan wanted to get rid of it and Nine7Max was the lucky guy that got my HIDs.

Here's Hogan installing the HIDs



And here's almost everyone crowding around to wait for Hogan to finish installing so they can see HIDs on a 4th gen.


More pics of the meet here:
(sorry about the quality of the pics... we were having it at night in a poorly lit area)

Yup, I'm in the picture, right near the car. Cool. Right after that I had my impromptu VB demonstration.

 

how do you re-aim them?

 

You drop them on the ground a few times.

 

heh i remember that demonstration. i'm in it too... the one reaching into his pocket with the white hat, probably thought it was a good time to check and see if I had enough $$

 

thanks for your "help"

 

No problem.

 

You should no this Sprint.. Just re-adjust the two long bolts that are conected to the rear of the headlights. Re-aiming helps but the beam pattern is still far from perfect on a 4th gen.

Anything new with the projector lights Hogan?

BTW congrats Nine7Max. Hids are definatly nice..

 

thanks Ethan...

 

Ethan's wrong, you drop them a few times on the ground, 6 times I believe, or until you hear the sound of broken glass.

 

yup yup.. you are only so far away..

 

I'm pulling on you hard. Are you sure I don't have the 5 speed and you don't have the automagic?

 

FYI.. i finally raced my cousin last night.. the one with the 5spd 97 SE that always beats me.. .. I got my TITLE BACK

 

So it only takes Hogan 10-15 minutes to install the kit in the dark? How long would it take him during the day... or with his eyes closed?

 

those lights do look nice. Did you test them this morning.LOL...

 

I'm anxiously waiting now. Can't wait. Damn those looked nice!

 

I also bought a set of Panasonic HID's from Hogan. Let me tell you these things are just awesome. When I was coming home from the track Wednesday night everyone just saw the HID's coming and moved out of my way.They light the road up and makes the factory foglights obsolete. These things are SWEET!
