Re: OEM HID's

A lot, the ecodes are not really THAT much nicer than stock.

If you do get ecodes, I would suggest buying nice Hella's and some decent bulbs.

ya, ecodes shmicodes. if you get oem then ya, otherwises knockoffs c1 sells suck, such as depo's (the ones i have).

$2000 for headlights, that's redonkulous, that's all i'm gonna say, I only paid a couple hundred more for my whole car and there are plenty more moving parts in that.

I do pay to play, I used to have a $3000 mountain bike. But I mean they're headlights. Your DVD Nav whatchamajiggy, fine, at least it DOES something, and it's cool. Headlights are cool too but sheesh. I guess I'm just not a balla Neezy jeezy fa shezzy in the Heebee jeebees

lol, nice one Jason. However I personally thinkg driving with HIDs is killer and would love to be able to have them. At least my new Hella MK4 looks have a way better light pattern then those stock Jetta lights, sorry Jason.

Re: OEM HID's

haha holy cow jason thats nuts! nah man i agree like i said in an above post .. i rarely drive my car at night so they are kind of a silly upgrade.. if i say got a huge bonus at work or won some money i would maybe buy them but yea 2000 bucks for something that just emits a 'nicer' light than stock is dumb..

Yea, I should say, I've heard lots of great things about them and "money no object" might be cool, I guess i'm just kinda saying that it seems overpriced more so than saying it's a stupid mod. I'm all for mods don't get me wrong, and I guess for someone that "has it all" already it's an option. Basically Ryan I like your car and I think it's really cool that you can spend the kind of money on it that you do, i'm not jealous or anything, I love seeing young people looking after their hobbies and being able to "pay to play" as you say. Afterall, I bought a 'Teg GSR straight outta school, so I know what it's like to have a little fun!!

Anyway, i'm just in a funny mood, so i'm roaming and Hi-jacking as I see fit.

And Blair, I'm expecting your lights (which are currently on the car with the hood CLOSED I might add) won't really be any different than the ones that were on there before really. They are both single chamber so...

Re: OEM HID's

Sweet Jason, I am glad you got the hood closed, and yes I am sure they are the same as your old lights

FK

Although it is on their 2004 catalogue it is still not on the market yet.

The way things have been looking lately, FK may not be on the market for too long...

Just to show that I'm as capable of putting things ON topic as taking them off.
