**saltshaker185** · 02-26-2006, 09:08 PM

Im looking to make my car really get that wow factor out of my car right now... i dont relaly want to go the body kit way so i was thinking about upgrading my lights... right now i have in-pro ellipsoid angel eyes which arnt as bright as i would like them to be, so is there anywhere i can get those to be closer to a white or blueish color? im also looking for the best foglight blubs also... what do you all recomend for all aorund lights? id like to keep the angel eyes and upgrade them insead of buy all new ones if possible and dont want anything that would melt the housings.. also im always looking to get the best for less if thier are any kinda cheaper but great ones... thanks

go with 6000k HIDs.

look at the link in my sig I have 6k's and I know a guy form Umnitza who can hook it up on some Predator Chromium (brightest angel eyes for now).. for fogs.. why not do HID's all aorund for that Wow effect...

I mean.. I always turn heads when i drive by....

what he said.

lol, it would look really good to have HID's all around, and to upgrade those angel eyes. And one look that I perticularly really like that you might want to check into is 3000k fogs. It is the yellowish color HID's, they are actually better for vision in the fog and are a really sweet look on the right car. A lot of Lexus' are going with 3000k fogs lately it seems.

body kit is really a must... especially if you have a 94 or earlier.

**Rooz** · 02-26-2006, 11:09 PM

Yeah... I mean u can do like a M tech or a Reiger... something not TOO flashy but more classy...

Well let me see... I think since he wants to go for "the best for less" HID all around is not less... unless you DO want to spend close to $400 in just HIDs... as far as DDE aka angel eyes, don't do it... winter time they will NOT light up properly, I have bought two sets of angel eyes, and two sets of ballast (one of them is a "winter" set) and to this day they still don't light up in the cold weather, I paid over $600 to just be able to use $300 worth to work properly... Now if you want that wow effect and be different... this is what I would shoot for... I found this after I got my M bumper, if I would have seen this earlier I would have gone a totally different route... my second choice it's Rieger (see Spielhur's sig) but get ready to drop some serious bux! Have fun and MoD on brotha!

Predator Chromiums get a wow factor along with an aftermarket front lip spoiler.

What kind of car are you driving?

Storamin · 02-27-2006, 11:22 AM

I think before lights check into the bodykit, rims, tint, then drop. After all that add the lights.

I have an extra set of predator chrominium for E46 for 100 bucks(brand new in box sealed) just pay the shipping and handling and donate the 100 bucks to UB

Now that's dedication.

**nightdevils** · 02-27-2006, 02:28 PM

dedication....indeed, what are predator chrominium?

**Rob** · 02-27-2006, 02:34 PM

I used to rock the ACS front lip a while ago.

It's not a bad little setup and it definately stands out from the rest. The only thing I worried about was the future addition of an IC and the lack of airflow that may occur, so I upgraded to the M3 bumper.
