dkindle613 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Yea for sure. I got the slyvania silver star ultras in my truck and they work pretty good. But one of these days when you use the DD-1 on your car. I wouldn't mind stopping out, and giving ya a hand. Then toss ya a couple bucks to tune my truck up.

Kevin M Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 20 minutes is a long time. Bummer It has to be that ballast. The igniter must be bad. I can't see them marketing a product with a 20 minute start up time. lol 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle
dkindle613 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 But if they are for farm equipment. It might be understanable with the long warm up time. Still unacceptable but understandable WARNING: I speak 4 languages, profanity, English, sarcasm & real shit 2003 ford explorer 2 RF T1 D4 15s in a 6.8 cubic ft box 1 T1500.1bdcp 250amp ALT by Mike Singer 2 runs of 0 gauge 3 yellow tops
Lbox88 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 I think there was a little bit of a mixup lol. They warm up to at least 75% brightness after 20-30 SECONDS, I just also took a pic after 20 MINUTES for comparison. I have a rambling A.D.D. video uploading now to show you guys what I mean. EDIT: Also, the HIR bulbs were the ones that were made for the 9000 series John Deere tractors. These are from HIDExtra.com and were made for my car. The Video is taking a while to upload, lol, I guess my internet/youtube doesn't like it when I upload a 720p 668MB video LMAO. UBL | Build Log
dkindle613 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 Ooohh alright gotcha.. but how much did you pay for the lights ballasts and all? If you don't mind me asking..

Lbox88 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 Got them Cyber Monday at 50% off with the slim ballast extra for a grand total of $65. I didn't expect them to be the Cadillac of HID's but for all the talk about them and how they back it, I expected better. Vidceo is still uploading BTW, lol, up to about 75% so far. UBL | Build Log
dkindle613 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 So are you liking those headlights any better?

Lbox88 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Posted December 9, 2011 meh, letting them burn in a while and we'll see. Might email them after a week or so and tell them they must have sent me the wrong bulb or something if they don't fade from that god aweful blue. Also might tell them that they need to send me some 55W HIDs if that doesn't work. This is the chart they say the colors are supposed to be. Should be whit with hints of yellow, not sky blue. You'll see what I mean tomorrow. UBL | Build Log
Lbox88 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Posted December 10, 2011 Oh my GAWD. The Malibu is now DD1 approved and holy jesus... all I have to say is anyone who wants to use mine to tune their system: there will be no charge as long as I get to record your reaction after it's tuned. All other must pay in cash, cigarettes, or blowjobs. UBL | Build Log
