Sounds more tank than the Fujita and they have a whole thread on 8thcivic dedicated to how good the Fujita sounds.
looking nice there, so you solved the CEL problem?
Yep I played around with the length of the coupler and it eventually fixed itself! :)
I got my H11 kit...but the bulbs seem a bit long to fit in the fogs. Can anyone confirm?
H11 for foggies for sure
does every model come with the stereo fuction that when you slow down the music gets quiter and when you go faster the music gets louder??
will the output of this bulb will be white??

still bluish I think. I had a pair of 4300k parkers and they were still bluish :/
Should be White. Im upgrading to LEDs as they last longer and a bit brighter. One of the sponsors here sells them.
^^ which sponsor?.....i like white for my parkers....but when i put an smd led white....output is bluish...any suggestions? brands?
ebay matey! i just bought 10 x 7 led T10 bulbs for $5.95 AUD. Ebay FTW!
I've also just recently installed 3 x 6 smd festoons for the interior roof lights. can do a write up if peepz want....
^^ got my smd led from ebay as well....which one did you buy??..please post pic of your parker....thanks
Mine arrived today from http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...p-boot-reverse
got 2 pairs of T10 for the parkers and license plate
and a 6 smd and 2 x 1 smd for the interior.
they ebay ones dont last, trust me. I bought ones and they lasted about a month... fuk that.
yeh its better to just go for a more reputable brand, usually the ebay ones turn out blue anyway.
ylooow..thanks...please post pic. i want to see the output of the white led
seems like its hard to get the mtec led parkers now, guess im gonna keep mine :D
I had the Mtec parkers but it blew on me after 1.5yrs so time to upgrade as I can't find them anymore. :) I try to post pics when I get the chance to fit them.
which ones did you have? the MTEC LED ones or just the normal mtec parkers? surely the LED ones wont blow that quick
ive had LEDs for parkers and rear licence plate lights for just over a year now and they're still going strong
do a write up plx. better yet, u can do it for me since u live in brisbane! lolQuote:

Anyone got any clean ways of installing LED's?
Got a friend whos interested in doing it. Was thinking of installing it under the headlights, so that they shine outwards, but u can't see the strips.
underneath the headlights sounds like a good idea...haven't seen anyone do it though
ive done it
not on civic tho
here it is

Nice. what car is that? looks like a honda
it's a lancer.
I'm thinking of doing this http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/light...6k-doom-u.html
but we'll see.
I just want it to look clean, as in not a visible ghetto-stuck on thing. Will post pix when i do it (:
i want this CF modulo kit badly!!!

all this talk of led strips makes me want to do it lol. what do you normally cut in for power? replace the parkers?
join in parallel to parkers
What do you guys think of 8000k low beams and 6000k foglights?
other way round.
too blue for any functional use.
so you'd suggest 8000k fog lights?
btw I bought a couple of 60cm led strips

Try to read things with blue light - it's really hard to make out fine details, and strains ur eyes. IMO pure white is the best, and 6k makes that tinge of blueyness which I like lots.
fogs are better off yellow for cutting through well... fog, but blue would look cool (Y)
Yeah I know the HIDs wont be as useful with fog but who really uses foglights for fog? lol I don't.
It's mainly for aesthetics in my case ;)
hid fog lights as daytime running lights ftw
Hey guys as you know I installed some HID for my foglights yesterday. Went to start the car this morning and it wouldn't!!!
Up until yesterday the car was driving perfectly normal. I didn't take it out anywhere but I did install the HIDs. I didn't leave them on or anything and the battery still gives an 'OK' reading and seems to be powering everything fine on ACC (even the lowbeam HIDs and Fog HIDs will turn on).
However when I turn the key, the car cranks over and sputters and won't start.
Anyone have a clue what's happening?
jump start your car
drive it around
and see if it does it again 2moro mrng
Got the heat shield on today:

depends on state too. and yeah, lots of luck

The fogs will be drl and the low beams seem pretty stock looking snyway
u could also get a fine for running HIDs without having projector headlights.Quote:

If the cops are booking cars with HIDs that blind, they should really book the drivers that drive the Chrysler 300c. Those cars come with irritating HIDs from factory
agreedd!!!
HID's need to have automatic levellers, washers and projectors. We have none. FTW :D
300c's are absolute bitches of glare.
ur more likely to be noticed with fogs on too.
oh btw, today one of my HID's (right one) didn't ignite. i turned the off and on again. they worked. I was like wtf and shittin brix, so i went to my mate's civic Fd, turned on his lights, and same shit happened!
what gives :S
If ur battery voltage is too low would that stop it from lighting up the right bulb?
nah, its due to el cheapo hid ballasts, happens to me for my fogs cos i got cheap ones, never happens for my low beams
but they're kaixen
then i have no idea... LOL ill wait for someone to correct me, but if it happens its no biggy, just do what you did, flick it off then on again
Hey Stig saw you cruising up Lonsdale st the other day while having a ciggie out the front of my building..was checking out the new Audi coming up the road in the fog then the FD appeared!!

LOL stig caught out being fully sick
