Does anyone have the size of the LED boards that fit in the 3rd Light space? I found a board I like but need to know if it will fit. I saw the one from Modernco is 12" long, but don't know how wide it is. I found one that is 11.5" long by 1.181" wide....Can anyone measure for me possibly?

Thanks, do you think there is another 1/4" height wise in the housing? especially if I'm a 1/2" to a 1" shorter?
Looking at this item on Ebay:
LED 3rd Brake with Turn/back-up/hazard
I expect to pull it out of its housing to use it too so the board should be a bit smaller.
Thanks.

Hey guys I've got a question for ya.. Just installed my 6k HIDs for the stock 9007 bulbs, but I've decided to get the gen 3 ccfl projectors (05-10 COBALT PONTIAC G5 CCFL PROJECTOR LED HEADLIGHT BK - eBay (item 140485245008 end time Dec-06-10 15:12:12 PST)) to be exact.. I know that I need H1 HID bulbs with this setup, but will that go into the projector or the exposed bulb? Im guessing the exposed is low beam and the projector is high? Also, if I want brights and fogs, I must buy another H1 HID kit but what do I need for the fogs? Is that all universal? I don't have fog lights right now so can I just buy any assembly and the HID bulb will fit? Thanks for the help

The projector is the low beam, the halogen reflector is the high beam. If you want to install fog lights, you're going to have to buy either an ss bumper or a base model bumper that comes with fog lights, or do a custom job installing some yourself. The stock fog light bulb is an H11 bulb.

I have no idea how big the stock foglights are. I'm sure you can wire up the stock fog lights no problem, but mounting them is going to be difficult. I have 8k fogs. I got my switchback turn signals from 3bspec. There's a link to them in the op. Make sure you get resistors, also in the op. I THINK, don't know for a fact, but a set of Hello Micro DE fogs might fit. You may want to do some research first.

Ordered JM Auto Racing Projector HID (lows and highs) for my black DEPO's, will install on black on black car when installed
Why does modern performance say you need to have one light on the "LED 3rd brake light mod" lit up as resistance to keep your cruise control working? What the heck??? Please explain.

Alright sounds good. I'll post a pic of the front end on my gallery. I do need a new front bumper though fiberglass sucks if you see any ss bumpers for sale lemme know about that too cause that's what I'd much rather do

I just finished my new headlight project. gen 2 projectors painted, vht nite shade side markers..custom made halos (done at my work) with RGB LED strips that change color from a controller in my car. I will post a video and picts later today..
#421
There are other colors I can do too but ill take a video later today and post it. I'll also post some daytime pics too. They are very bright in the daylight.
Basically took the gen 2 headlight..scrapped the ccfl halos..and painted over he light bar and three LEDs in the top right to give a cleaner look..then added the RGB strips and custom halos

do we have a "how to" thread on installing HID's in projectors? I have some buddies who have same Depo headlights and have installed HID's in them, but I'd like to see how its done for myself before doing the install, any ideas? Links?

I bought the smoked LED tails off ebay. They are GREAT! THe pictures on ebay of them they look dark red. They actually have a clear smoked look. LED's are BRIGHT! I got these from k2motor. I searched Cobalt smoked LED tail. The description underneath said it was a dark red lense, but they came like this.
Feel free to use my pictures anywhere!!!

Mods if you could add this to the OP it would be greatly appreciated.
Ok this is something I've been meaning to add for a long time. A cutoff comparison between all of the projectors including the aftermarkets and retrofits. All pics for retrofits will be sourced from hidplanet.

For a comparison of all the bixenon projectors to retrofit, please see this thread on hid planet.
Bi-Xenon Output Comparison: TL, E55, Murano, FX, IS, e46,LR3
The G1s are sold by 3bspec, the G3s are what buyhids.com sells.
One thing you don't see very well that the hid planet one shows is beam brightness comparison. The aftermarkets are gonna be about as bright as the G1s shown in that thread are. You can clearly see how using the same bulbs, the higher quality retrofit projectors are MUCH brighter, along with having a more colorful cutoff and wider beam pattern.
