k so its been a few days.. lol... had to post the rest of the fun.


I put my HID lights in.. these things suck lol..





6k white? uh.. no, how about a dim aqua marine green blue lol...but thats what you get for 40 bucks off ebay lol.

I will be immediately get getting a 55w kit for the high beams at least from either Diode Dynamics or theretrofitsource.com... both sell legit stuff.

These will certainly do for now tho NP.

On to the next goodies:



I just went with some JL W1s... running a MRX V70 5 ch amp as soon as it comes in.. simple and little, no crazy current draw.







Im not exstatic about the psngr sides fit.. looks liKe ill HAve to pull the wing nut for the tailllight to fit it..



DOES ANYONE AT ALL KNOW HOW I CAN KEEP THESE THINGS IN PLACE?

I CANT FIND TECH OR PH INFO FOR "NRG AUDIO" ANYWHERE... OR ANY OTHER IDEAS.

HELP???

[bmccann101]

k so its been a day, more stuff done to the car lol.


My HIDs sucked.. and were green blue.. wtf.

And now one side kept shutting off.

So i decided that not only did i have a ballast going out, but that these capacitor things are cutting serious voltage to the ballasts. Luckily, i had an extra set of far better ballasts already sitting down inthe fender wells of this car.. so i fired em up.. and i also got rid of the error flicker caps.. i used a bosch relay and made an adapter harness out of thier connectors.. therefore using the OEM headlight current as a trigger and jsut hard wired the HID ballasts in parallel to the battery post...

wow.

what a difference.

And now the bulbs are driven to actually put out light and to be WHITE... just like me lol.
Not thats there ANYTHIN wrong w that if youre not

Same bulbs:


so the magic is revealed, balasts that suck make your bulbs suck too.

For 80 dollars in alterations ( fuh...) to make them short enough to fit these chopped windows.. my Junction Produce curtains are installed and MAN.. do they tie this car up so far.

That baby is looking like you are driving a limo or something with all those comfort pillows and privacy curtains! The cupholders are nice looking, but that looks like you allow drinks in your ride. I am a little on the other extreme - NO drinks or food in my SRT whatsever. LOL What else you have in store for your ride! Nice transformation so far. Love the updates.

[bmccann101]

^ lol. yeah the VIP themed cars come from Yakuza .. they stopped driving around in exoensive cars as the police watched them more in them.. they moved to luxury standard sedans and the cup holders and trays are actually for cup holder cigarette ashtrays, a pack of smokes, and the curtians keep privacy.
Funny cultural thing really.

[bmccann101]

...and this is my daily car.. not my fancy car lol..

I took my cat to Einsteins today lol.. so the car had drinks, bagels, and fur.





Squirrel is his name.. hes an OG feral cat from tha streets and he still just dont give a fuh.. lol. jk.

Anyways..

did a little more, nothing spectacular.

ordered some 4 in (100m 5050 smd halos from China.. these things are briiiight.. very cool.. i cracked open an OEM taillight.. these are going to be pimp.
Youll see high mounted led circles going down the fwy in front of you.. when you get closer realizing its a Chrysler 300 is going to be silly.

Inside the light:




Red shell back on..
