Hi mate, good work with the conversion! - Liking the door trims with red, always makes a different atmosphere.
With the rear bumper, if it's OEM Honda, it has marks on the inside of the bumper made by the factory moulder as to where to drill for the CTR rear lip.
Its a very small bump on the (usually) dirty surface on the inside of the rear bar - at the exact centre of where to drill, and its surrounded but a roughened circle area.
I got to putting my CTR lip on, and was wondering how to get it lined up exactly - then put it under my big spot lamp to discover these marked-areas!
Cheers, Dan.
its not oem.. its rep you can tell from the pics
Bumpers are OEM.
Lips are reps. The rep lips doesn't come with any markings or whatsoever. The OEM bumpers do. However good luck with trying to align the lips on the bumper as tight as you could.
Yes it's from US. I believe you can easily get a rubber seal and screws for the plug if you want to as paying over $70 for the plug and kit is CRAZY! Though I did it and end up spending hours justifying it to the missus. And yes it's from eBay US.Quote:

On the left you have the Philips BlueVision and on the right is the Osram Nightbreaker:

It's definitely brighter than the BlueVision albeit the yellow-ish tint that I didn't like.
Here's a mid-range shot:

Also, I reckon the Philips Xtreme Power is better than this Nightbreaker.
I'm really considering going HID now. I've adjusted the BlueVision to a perfect height now that gives me the best distance/range but it is still not as bright as I would like it to be, though I wouldn't part with the whiteness of it.
Anyone with any experiences of getting defected for HIDs? I'm just thinking 6000k like what Liquidsound is selling.
Hey man, u dont have to worry about getting defected from having hids in canberra. They wont open ur beonet so they wont know what u got. If u dont get a ridiculous colour ie above 8000k then it should be fine. I used to have HI/LOs but the ballast died so just chucked in another ebay kit. Go hi/lo just to be safe but wont matter in act
ive been running 8000k HID's for a few months now, havent been pulled over or anything. in melbourne btwQuote:

I only spent a lil, was nice for the hills, had disadvantages tho, such as having to aim the lights down to be less offensive to other motorists
the kits are easy to diy, the odds of a defect are slim unless they open you bonnet and find the boxes (just hide them) and the hi/lo poping of the blubs is a dead give away (as they are loud on the h4 hi/lo kits, lol) dont go above 6k, 8k is blue enough to be noticed
I enjoyed them, and if the ballast didnt die in the ass I wouldve still ran em
Thanks for the suggestions peeps.
Unfortunately I might have to stall all planned mods on my car now because of the bad news I got from my landlord yesterday. Will have to shift my focus onto the housing sector now and if I'm lucky, maybe some spare change will get me a part or two down the line.
Hopefully the DIY mods will go on as I would still love to continue on the build.
:(
yea had that happen to us yrs ago and forced us into a new place, was for the best :)
