Alpine HID Pics

SpacE82 · 04-04-2010, 02:18 PM

I had my HID Angels installed yesterday. They are 8k. Thanks again goes to Ben (TPLSM3) for doing the install. I took a shit load of pics, in direct sunlight, kinda shaded, headlights on, headlights off, etc...now the pics:

EDIT: Night shots in post 18

Close up in a little bit of shade:

Close ups in direct sunlight:

Distance in direct sunlight:

Direct sunlight w headlights on:

Close up w direct sunlight and headlights on:

Sun behind the car (i was also messing around with white balance and shutter speed):

And just a couple pictures on my driveway with indirect sunlight and also messing with WB and shutter speed:

I am really happy with how they turned out. I got a car wash today and there was no leakage. Ben really did a great job with the install, tight seal and hidden wires.

PS: Sorry Simon, I forgot to take a picture of the resistor

Excellent choice! I love it, I might do it again or have Alex do it with his kit.

SpacE82 · 04-04-2010, 02:58 PM

Definitely would recommend going with Alex's kit. Great product and great customer service.

TPLSM3 · 04-04-2010, 03:27 PM

Lookin' good Ryan! We should get mine & yours together for comparison pics between 7k and 8k. Washed mine a few times already and still have not had any condensation or water leaks yet either with the way I installed it.

SpacE82 · 04-04-2010, 03:53 PM

Yeah definitely should compare the two colors.

Looks great! Need someone to help me with the install :-\

Haha well I might be driving out there to get Alex to install it on his vacation if I can't get it done beforehand. Or maybe I'll just head up and ask you to help out with it and have a mini meet out there

SpacE82 · 04-06-2010, 11:02 AM

^I'd be down for a meet, we should start planning something..but I'm hoping to get my rims first haha

TPLSM3 · 04-06-2010, 11:22 AM

enigma135, if you're serious about driving to Chicago, I have no problems helping you out....or doing the install all together.

enigma135 · 04-07-2010, 12:57 PM

That'd be awesome! I could go for a little road trip. When do you guys thing would work? Unfortunately I'd probably start my drive early on a sunday morning whenever that would be.

bimmerboy · 04-07-2010, 09:41 PM

nice, any nighttime pics?

SpacE82 · 04-07-2010, 10:09 PM

^Not yet...i still havent seen them at night yet either haha.. ill try and take some tomorrow night!

nevermind, it was tischer parts...

acivick · 04-09-2010, 08:33 AM

Was definitely pissing people off when I got behind them a couple nights ago. Some guy went so far as to change lanes, slow down, get behind me, and high beam me. Lol

SpacE82 · 04-09-2010, 08:44 AM

^haha nice. I mean I know they are bright, but are they THAT bright? I guess I should really take a look at them at night

SpacE82 · 04-09-2010, 10:45 PM

Some night shots...I did the best I could...they are THAT bright...

Shots are kinda shitty. I couldnt find the right settings on the camera...they aren't as blue in person and the inner rings look like blobs of light, but in person its clearly a ring.

Simon_135i · 04-11-2010, 10:31 AM

Damn sexy!!!! Good choice!

Berduderunner · 04-11-2010, 09:59 PM

they look fantastic... so HID rings don't dim when you turn on the low-beams? (as they normally would)

Enry_1 · 05-29-2010, 10:22 AM
