Default Lighting Comparison Video (BLS vs. fogs)

With this video you can see the clear difference between HIDs in stock TA/Formula fog lights and the BLS HID kit. Threw in an extra clip at the end showing all of the lights on at once (fogs+lows+highs).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL94rGEgCFg&NR=1
  • First sequence is DDM 5000k 35w HIDs in stock fog light housings
  • Second sequence is DDM 6000k 55w HIDs in Hella 60mm projectors (BLS retrofit kit)
  • Third sequence is the two HID kits above on at the same time, combined with the stock halogen H4701 high beams.

YES, I know it is dangerous to use all of them on public roads, and NO I do NOT use more than one at a time when anybody else is around. That small patch of rutted desert road is one of the few places that I can use all of them safely at the same time.

Video was taken with a Flip Mino HD and my Cheap Camera Mount.

P.S. this road is the reason why I went with Edelbrock IAS coilovers instead of Konis. Thankfully I don't daily drive that road any more.

Pretty cool comparison video and the Flip did a pretty good job. That road made me want to cry and I cheered when I saw you finally hit pavement.

They feel softer/smoother than a Strano/Koni setup on rough/uneven roads but they still handle well all around (rough and smooth roads). The road in this vid is pretty extreme...

I consider them as more of a touring setup, since it seems to absorb a lot of the rough pavement areas, whereas with the Konis you can feel a lot more details/bumps in the road (sharper feeling).

Having driven both, I'd still take a Strano/Koni setup if it were handed to me. Been thinking about switching to a Ground Control/Koni DA setup lately.
