    2000 Ford Taurus looking for projector headlight assembly and brightest lights legal

    when i got my current car i added lights first, which were atleast twice as bright as the headlights then. then i pieced together something very similar to what scheinwerfermann suggested. now my low beams are brighter than most cars on the road, and feel like the hellas were a waste

    Head light lenses

    the problem with the meguiar's kit is that its only good for the finishing step, not nearly aggressive enough on real cloudy lights. i think the 3m kit you can get at walmart works well, only tool you need is a drill. of course its not as good as new lights, but if you dont want to buy new oem...

    What HID headlamps can I use for a Honda Accord 2001?

    check your voltage drops to see if you would benefit from relays. for me it wasnt as big of a difference as when i put in the hirs or cleaned up the lenses, but still noticeable.

    New TruckLite LED headlights

    depends on how bad they were to start, i re-did mine after about 2yrs, and they weren't near as bad as before the first refinishing. i've done 4 pairs of lights with one 3m kit plus a bottle of the rubbing compound needed in the last step, and could probably do that many again before i'd need...

    New trend in high-beam etiquette: don't turn them off, ever.

    i dont know about the rest of PA first hand, but pittsburgh should have a warning. from wiki "pittsburgh left" The Pittsburgh left is a colloquial term for the driving practice of the first left-turning vehicle taking precedence over vehicles going straight through an intersection.... ....The...

    New Philips HIR2 scrutinized

    i'd imagine it would have to reduce the life, atleast slightly. i've had mine in (also being used as DRLs) for a couple years/ 50k mi. no problem so far. i think the life of the toshiba hirs are supposed to be similar to a std bulb. from working at a gm shop, of vehicles with oe bulbs that use...

    Lighting controlled by engine's RPMs

    sorry about being a naysayer but... isnt the point of the lighting for showing off? if you're actually riding at high rpm, you're probably going too fast for anyone to notice. if you're idling around and revving the engine time to time, it would likely be to short of time for anyone to...

    Tactical EDC light

    for instant high output i've been using a fenix p1d q5 with 3.7v instead of 3.0v it should have. you lose the med and low levels though, still have 3 levels... high, high, and high.
