Oh ok.

You will need whatever is factory for the camaros. I think it is 9007? You will have to check into that.. Just search some of the HID threads (or if you know what it is already) and then order that number.

EDIT::: 9006

I don't need the hi's correct? I been reading that they take a few seconds to warm up, so that would almost defeat the purpose hi's.

Thanks,

You been really helpful..

correct... waste of time.

House72

Thanks...

Correct.. The lows are bright enough you won't even need highs. There won't be another car on the road with lights as bright as yours. Of course I went with 55 watt, don't know what you did. When I am next to factory HID cars, they still don't compare you can't even hardly tell their lights are on.

Brights would be just ridiculous. If you absolutely wanted them though you could. Warm up is around 3-5 seconds.

I kept my stock halogen highbeams and wired up 55W bixenon fx-r projectors. When I hit my highs, I have my 55W fogs, 55W projectors with shield dropped, and my halogen highs. Suffice it to say it's bright as ****!

Well I have to say i just bought the low beam DDMtuning HID kit. Absolutley love them. If they don't come on the GM connector that goes into the box can be put in upside down and they won't come one. I found out the hard way. LOL

lemons12

iTrader: (71)

Could I do some sort of shield on mine? I have seen some people use turekey basters? and some use touch up paint bottles?

Any info on this that you know of?

ec_nova

iTrader: (5)

I'm not sure I haven't heard of this. I got some fx-r projectors from theretrofitsource.com and retrofitted them into my stock housings. the light output is incredible and there is a lot of color change at the cutoff. It was pretty time consuming but very easy to do overall.

edit... just noticed you have a t/a. My friend retrofitted hella 90mm projectors on his t/a and they look amazing. I'm not aware of a bixenon that would fit the t/a's (for a reasonable price) but who knows... there might be one out there

lemons12

iTrader: (71)

Got any pics of this?

ec_nova

iTrader: (5)

of his? No, I don't have any. It's apart for paint right now.

here are a few of mine, night shots should be done today:

I have been following your thread.. Let me know when you get some of your buddies TA!

Thanks man..

ec_nova

iTrader: (5)

will do. we're retrofitting fx-r's onto his 06 mustang this weekend... I'll see if I can snap a few of his t/a. The shrouds are off, but you'll still get a good idea as to how they fit.

^^Those look great!

Although it seems like too much rubber is revealed on bottom. Was that just the way they turned out after aiming them?

ec_nova

iTrader: (5)

thanks! yea a combination of that and the fact the car appears to have been in a front end collision at some point so **** didn't line up right

lemons12

iTrader: (71)

Try some spacers where the mounting places are.. This helps on a lot of cars.

ec_nova

iTrader: (5)

oh good idea... I'll give it a try, thanks!

you need to read the ebay ad you are purchasing your projector headlight from.

factory the camaro takes a 9006 low beam, 9005 high beam, and 894 foglight which is the exact same as the 880 foglight

putting a hid kit into a stock camaro headlight greatly increases the light output, but its only in the immediate area right infront of the vehicle. the projector headlights spread out that light beam much more effectively to illuminate the sides of the road.

alot of people like to argue that projectors arent as bright to passing motorist, but i have been blinded by so many civics with ebay projectors, and acura rl's with projectors that i dont think it makes a difference. with either option you should spend five minutes aiming the light level on a wall or your garage.

like someone else mentioned ealier installing a kit is as easy as installing a new light bulb. just be sure you hook the headlight harness up to the ballast backwards

i have an 8k hid kit. even with the dark blue color i still saw about a 50% improvement in light output at night over silverstar ultra's. the best thing about HID is that on average the bulbs last 3-5 years, where as silverstars last about 10 months

Properly aimed projectors will not blind oncoming motorists at all UNLESS coming over a hill/railroad track/etc. The cutoff is very distinct there is almost no light bled above it.... I am speaking of course about OEM projectors not the ebay junk
