T DOG's '98 K1500 Z71

[nubuilder]

I just did the lows. I doubt I will do the Hi-4 mod because, 1. The lows provide all the light I will probably ever need and... 2. It takes a few seconds for aftermarket HID's to reach full output.

The housings are the stockers but I want to get the TYC Elegantes to help with glare/cut-off. I'm using the VVME 35w 4300k HID kit.

I plan to aim the headlights down as much as possibly to avoid blinding people.

I would do the High-4 mod anyways. If you ever do turn on your highs (even by accident), the lows will take a few seconds to turn back on. I know what you are talking about as I have them (35w 5k lows, 55w 5k highs) in the TYC Elegante lenses. However, these lenses look the best, but do not help with the cut-off like a projector does. I went with them because they were said to be the best without going to a projector.

I know they are super bright now, but give them a few thousand miles and on/off cycles and they will dim; all HID's do; along with changing color slightly. I really like mine because the color output (to me at least) matches a standard halogen bulb pretty closely while still having more light output.


What did you pay for the kit? Any warranty? Where did you get it?
(only reason I ask is because I've got DDM kits and they no longer sell them; I'm looking for an alternative)


Oh, did you disable the DRL's?

$70 shipped for the kit with the relay harness. 1 year warranty. www.vvme.com. Oh, and the first thing I did was pull the fuse for the DRL's.

Snapped a couple pics at the car wash awhile ago...

I also took some pics of the 20% tint on the front windows while I was waiting for my bro at the airport.

Ever thought about painting your front Bowtie black?

Never thought about that. That would probably look cool. I've seen the sport emblem that is black and red.

Looks good man!

Thanks man

Maybe that's why you invited me to this awesome board!
