Dont worry about that, theres a wire you snip or a connector you disconnect and it will take care of that, I dont remember which one it is though been awhile since i've done it.

:edit: Or maybe you just take out the light on the cluster.


Anymore new pictures of yours Whiteslips? Hatches are looking good but im not crazy about gabs.

 

Thanks.

E46 BMW Projectors.

 

cool. Retrofits have always interested me, but no money for that. Until the future.

 

where do you see GABS?

 

Me either. = P

 

whiteslipswithstickers: nice cars but kinda sad to see the retrofitted car is still using stock lens, it's gotta to be killing the retrofit output

 

It affects it a little, but not bad. The light output is a bajillion times better than stock halogens...

 

this is true. I had a retrofitted jdm headlights in my coupe for a minute and they worked great. Since they wouldn't fit on my hatch(silly h22 alternator) I sold them. I wish I would have kept them since i've gone h2b lol. Now I just rock a clear lensed ebay special headlight with rx350 retro on the daily because I don't have the heart to put clear lenses on my hatch. If anyone is looking to retro. I can get some used rx350 projectors/ballasts/bulbs at a decent price.

 

doesn't the white one up front have gab sports? I want your wheels lol. This set on icb is tempting

 

They are actually GT3s.

 

Arent they enkei jspeeds? They dont look like gabs nor gt3s.

I really like the white hatch up front Mirrors are nice!

 

You know what is real sad, you'll never do the retrofit, so all you can do is make a lame *** comment w/ no factual basis...dj-bilbo has to be killing the hobbit club underground. = (

 

J-Speeds...yes to the keen eye...

Rota GT3 and Gabs to every one else out there...= (

MRacing Mirrors...= )

 

You can always tell J Speeds from Gabs because the spokes are more angular. Gabs spokes are a smooth arch to the lip and J speeds kinda go up sharp from the hub then down to the lip............if that makes any sense lol

 

It does make sense. So hows your hatch doing Scott!

 

Hey nothing wrong with gabs!

You must be spewing enkei re released the jspeeds, even though the re release is a 1pc version

 

Bleh, no not even, I got over things when they released the GT3s. Yes, I have had the rims that long. = )

 

Just sitting I have not driven it since Nov. im out in South Carolina right now. Im coming home soon for 2 weeks though and will drive it then but its pretty much just in limbo untill I figure out if im moving out to the east coast for a job.

If I get this job im going to rebuild the car......prob fresh paint, all new seals weather striping and a K swap. Still keeping it simple though noting crazy just classy lol



Your car is coming along nicely! I cant wait to see the new wheels on it, you ordered the 949 right?

 

mine

 

I actually have made 2 retro's (traded the first for an ls longblock) and the 2nd is on the car. Do some searching on the site and u will find...

Hmm... I am trying to give you some credit on your comment, but, I just can't find any part I can agree on. I will give you the benefit of the doubt though, as you had no knowledge of who I am, what I've done or not done, which is ok. However your judgmental comment is... well, it's just "sad" indeed Begs to question as to why you reacted that way?

WhiteSlipsWithStickers: I am glad to hear that the output isn't all messed up. In my experience, its not as good of an output as with clear lens.

boostedej1: rx350 has really nice output. I was tempted to use them but cldn't pass out on the FX's for price/size and hi/low function. Maybe when the s2k-R comes out, I may try a 3rd retro!

Nevertheless, (teh)H2OUUP2, ask anyone who has a retro (mayb you do or don't...) and having a clear lens as opposed to fluted lens makes a BIG difference in output (Oh, and btw, I'm talking with factual basis i think).

I agree that compared to stock headlights, fluted lens + retro is far superior.

 

I apologize for calling them the wrong name, the ugly red wheels/gabs/gt3s/jspeeds.

 

Why so much hate going on in here.....

 

Bleh, I say have a warm cup of STFU...the clear lens looks like ****...I wanted the factory look with a better output...and I didn't want to go through the trouble of trying to find h4h bulbs all the time...What is sad that "experts" like your self have nothing better to do but make comments thinking b/c you did a retrofit or two you're the subject matter expert...not everyone is going to go through the trouble of ****ing up their fingers to sand down a fluted lens to make it look like ****...If I was truly concerned about light output I'll drive my subaru station wagon w/ a TSX-R clear lens conversion...

 

Oh I thought you were in SC permanently. K swap would def be the next step!

Yeah somewhat albeit slow. I haven't ordered them yet though but def. will be what I get.
Very clean. What wheels are those?

 

Yea just out here for the time being, my fiancee and dogs are still back in WA in our house. Im not to happy about eventually moving out here permanently (Florida prob. ) but the pay increase and cost of living decrease will make it worth it lol Extra money is never a bad thing


You should call and see what the wait time on the wheels are, hopefully since they are made here is wont be bad. You just dont wwant to be in the same boat as me with those work wheels if you want them by spring/summer. We waited 7 months for the wheels to come in
