dawrenn Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I heard the getting HID's with stock headlights are bad b/c the thing that covers the bulbs makes the light glare really bad. Well since the CTR's dont have that thing would the glare be worse or better? If I decided to get HID's I would not want to retro-fit anything into those headlights.

optional187 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 you don't have to retrofit anything...you just have to make sure you get the right angles..................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawrenn Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 The CTR's pictured DO NOT HAVE A BULB IN THEM. 0MG That thing is not built into the bulb. THe CTR's just dont have it. This is a quote from another forum: my SiR inner housings finally came in today. the plan is to paint them gunmetal, take appart my lights again, and put it all back together psuedo-ctr's with the DOT light reflector See the KEY WORD: DOT light reflector?

..SSR.. Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 It is built into the bulb. See how it is angled? You can't connect an angle like that to a concave shape like the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyH22 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 its angled. you should know its all about the angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point2 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 "Work the Angles"... classic Dilated Peoples song.... oops, wrong thread??? Dood, put a bulb in that crap, if your car is lowered, then fix the ANGLE!!!! Or keep it stock, but I was down w/ JDM when you still wished you had a driver's liscense.
