Matt H Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 What are they like Matt are they quite bright?? They do the job. They're no H.I.Ds, and I doubt they would be a match for a good rank of L.E.Ds. If it's brightness you want then go for the L.E.Ds. I'd highly recommend H.I.Ds for your dipped beam though if you're after that kind of effect. I've got them on mine and wouldn't not have them on any of my future cars now.

Ive already got HID's but just fancied something a little closer to match the sidelights with the dipped beam as the sidelights look really pants compared the headlights! If the LED's will fit ill go with them if not I might try your suggestion and go with the phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 You can get very cheap LED sidelights from ebay Si... Used LED sidelights to match my HIDS. Although to get them spot on, I'd need a different temperature HID bulb though. And yes, they're plug and play in the facelift indicators as well.

deathmonkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 No probs mate. Might get some of those myself actually, Geo, I like the 'whiteness' of yours. The ones I have are a bit 'blue' - as I said, the hids are a bit 'whiter' (is that a word?) Reminds me, I need to change the rear number plate bulbs - they're a bit too blue as well. Si, I noticed you have a s2000 aerial, did you do all of that yourself? Easy? Need to get a new aerial. (Sorry for the hijack Geo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries dude, i checked the HID's along with the new side lights, they compliment each other so well. Its a nice little mod for all of £12.50 for the lights.

Geo Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Small Update today. Well was out testing boost settings today, since the roads were dry and it was cold, and sunny. Great conditions for testing. We ran 1.2bar for a while and the car pulls like a train through all the gears without a problem, We then decided to go for 1.6 bar, all 530bhp. The car just could not get any grip, on full throttle. I had to back off a bit just over half throttle to get grip on the rear tyres, i must say with a set of Toyo R888's on the car, the car will have amazing accelaration. Cant describe how quick the car is, it basically plants you into the seats. Im loving it. Can someone explain whats going on with the Speedo though???

Geo Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Lol, if only a speedo could move that fast:d lol, i know. Only does this when switching into 1.6bar dude, running 1.2bar its normal when accelarating. Dunno whats going on here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Sound strange as it's related to the boost setting. I guess even LeeP's Supra ain't that fast from 80 to 180+ mph than your's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
