  1. But then how will we laugh on the social media sites?
  2. Ah yep lack of space sucks. You could try in a car park with a jack + maybe 8mm and/or 10mm box spanner lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the CBIs are just the old stuff re-branded as "next gen" (original CBI is like a decade old now). Try to take a comparison pic of old and new bulb if you can, would be interesting to see the difference. Oh don't bother with those crappy LED bulbs, no amount of Chinese lumens can overcome physics.
  3. yeah dude, no more sports cars, just hybrid and full electric CUVs
  4. The Cool Blue Intense (CBI) are basically the best all rounder you get. It's definitely bluer than OE, but not OE LED blue. I ran one in one of my retrofits, highly recommend. Don't worry about the "up to" colour claim, they'll be around the 5,000K mark. Sadly there weren't any in D4S for my missus' car, I got Cool Blue Boost (CBB) instead, which is a tad bluer for that OE LED look. Works better than Osram standards (I don't know why Osram is so poor, I had no issues with Philips standards), but I'd be happier with CBI. tl;dr- CBI is excellent. You'll be happy with them (unless your bowls are burnt lol). Also, have you tried taking out the bulb yourself? If you can't reach from under the bonnet, you should be able to via the front guard liners (there might even be a flap for easy access).
  5. I tried cleaning mine, the issues come back. Just replace it. Also get relay harness for your headlights.
  6. But generally it's 10.5" with 285/30 or 295/30 for maximum girth. Also wrong section (I'll move it).
  7. Last visited: August 29, 2020 I don't think he'll reply
  8. are the CANBUS compatible? no idea why they wouldn't work. I buy Philips because they work fine and aren't that expensive
  9. They look like a custom job, maybe gen 2 Liberty/Legacy GT-B fogs in a custom housing? *edit* nah the Liberty fogs are different, inner ones are projector
  10. I'd rather look for a cover, ebay etc. usually has "sales" of them from China. I got one for a Mazda 3 and Accord Euro for about $80 each *edit* like this: https://www.eastdetailing.com/products/copy-of-2007-2033?variant=39459553345639
  11. this! Amsterdam felt like Sydney, everywhere else felt like... Netherlands haha.
  12. I've been to Eindhoven, lived in Amsterdam for half a year for work. I miss that place I ended up randomly at Zandvort beach, didn't know there was a circuit there until I heard cars haha.
  13. who cares figure you what bulb your headlights take, i.e. go look go buy that bulb from powerbulb install into headlights
  14. What's that stance crap. I put 265 on R34 GT-R (9"), currently running 285 on 10" (LMGT1) heh
  15. No point buying $250 bulbs if your projector bowls are burnt But if they were, you'd have useless headlights, so throwing new bulbs in after 5 years or so is a good idea. Check out powerbulbs website, they ship from UK but I found them to be good over the years. Takes about 1 week to get to Aus.
  16. +1eleventy I wanted 285/30 and could only find AD08 . Waited for buy "3 get 4th free" promotion, $484 a pop
  17. I fixed squealing pads by pulling them out and rubbing the disk/compound side on concrete (or use a file). Throw them back in and perform bedding-in procedure (this worked on QFM HPX and AR1M). This is assuming you've done/have everything else (shims, grease, etc.). *edit* what GTSBoy said
  18. except, you could have aftermarket headlights, which are generally H1 halogen with crappy projectors. Or a variety of other options. The bulb types will be labelled on the top of the housing somewhere.
