I just received my Garax 8000k crystal blue H.I.D. bulbs str8 from japan... I got them for 85.99 with free shipping... I am about to install them right now but I just wanted to ask a quick question... When you install the bulb do you have to remove the intake box ? I know it will be easier with it out of the way, but is it required to remove it ?



I will post some pictures when I am done =)

 

nope.. just reach in and change it, less than 5 mins installation.

 

yup its pretty easy to reach....take pics when your done

 

thanks , I am about to go install these bad boys right now... I will post some pics when I am done

 

Can not wait to see those pictures that you are going to post.

 

Cool.. I like the 8000k color but I heard it might not be as visible while driving in the rain. Lets us know.

Thats a good price though! How long was the shipping from Japan?

 

It took 8 days from the online order to my mailbox =), I got it the weekend of thanksgiving so they were 20% off... I am about to post the pics now... Im gonna have to take a night photo so you can really see the blue...

 

I took the picture around 2pm so I will take another shot at night... I now have the low beams - crystal blue / parking lights - light blue / fog lights - yellow...I can't believe I installed them myself it was very hard because I don't have small hands

 

another shot

 

Nice work! 8 days and 20% off is pretty good! Which website did you order from?

 

Didyou go thru the fender well to install them.You did that fast!Also,can you post a pic at night with the yellow fogs on? When I do my hid fogs,I do not know if i am going to go 4300 or yellow.

By the way,nice color car.

 

For the low beams, no I did not go through the fender but u have to do that for the fog lights... Yea i will post a pic as soon as the sun goes down, its almost there ! I would go 3000k on the fogs looks so much nicer with the color contrast and plus you can see better with them at night/rain

 

I got them off E-bay , the ebay seller is motoringmax, they are a great ebay seller of lighting equipment...Luckily i got it when it was 20% off

oh great I just drove at night and I cannot see anything at all =( I think maybe I have to re-adjust the beams... I believe they are pointing at the ground. NOOOOOOO ! They don't seem to be that bright, I am a little dissapointed... Hopefully all I need to do is adjust the levels... any ideas ?

 

well you just went from a 3200 lumens stock HID to a 2500 or so on the 8000k

it's very much expected...

that's why most of us get HID fog to compensate for the reduce brightness on the low.
