Day running light and HID on standard CU2

[curtis265]

^Haha, you must have been the guy who mentioned it before. 8000k is too bluey for me'

Orange parkers! uniqueness! I'm thniking of getting green LED's for parkers... how would that look? (i'm partly colourblind though so i wouldn't be able to tell so well....

[nickxau]

how do cops even tell.

i mean like dont u have to be in on coming traffic for you to see your headlights. and ud usually only have it on at night, so its difficult to see if its a p plater you can prey on. then u gotta do a U turn. and u also have to know whther they are hids in the first place and if its a factory setting or not.

seems like alot of bs if you get stopped. if hes following you, unless they stopped u for another reason and then noticed, i cant see how you can get caught.

You're right in that sense.

My philosophy has always been: If you don't get caught, then it's NOT illegal!

Most cops stop on the side of the road (and hide in the bushes), have a look at oncoming traffic. Headlight is blue, pull their "candle stick" and stop you. My friend with his 6000K HID on a 4WD get stop by police who do a U turn on a 80km/h freeway.

Hi guys, update a news for you.
I stopped for random blood test last night on epping road Sydney
there were two cops saw my drls, hid and purple lights.
They said nothing! Even I saw a car with 15000k hid shows purple Colour drive on the road.
I think they don't care about the light issues rather than drinking driving or other safey issues.

Hey leo, do you have any pictures of the light output of those HID on the standard CU2?

So, anyone managed to find where to buy or work out how to chuck these on with a switch attachment?

are you sure 15000k? i thought they only made up to 12000k.

Are you sure it wasn't a bimmer with the chromatic abberation going on?

[leo]

i am not sure that was, but i saw very deep purple..because 15000K is blue blend with purple. and i know there is 15000K hid on sale from ebay, u even can get pink or green hid....

[curtis265]

yeh but usually they are normal 4000-6000k with coloured filters on them (i.e. blue bulbs etc.)

it's a scam

[leo]

yes, coloured filters is scam like Chrysler 300C

but i dont think old honda civic(year9x) has that kind of high tech....lol

[curtis265]

300c's, audi's and bimmers have projector housings which splits the colours so you get bluey/purpley looking light depending on what angle you see the car from.

6000k, 8000k, 12000k try to mock that, but you just end up screwing yourself over.
