The Voy project - ridin' durtay

damn! looks like they came from the factory like that.

Most O'reilly's stock niteshades also, at least the 3 in St. Cloud do.

I just found it, and there isn't a ton left but I would think it would be enough. I work off Rice and University in St. Paul and will probably be around Minneapolis later on. Shoot me a PM or something so I don't clutter up the thread too much.

I picked my can up at the old MAS off of University.

I think I may just check out the stores near by here and see how much a can is first. If a can is cheap, I'll just grab a can for myself. If not, I'll hit you up!

OK well now that I'm back home, I can continue with some of this.

Just did a light 3 coats of niteshade on the orange reflector pieces that go in the headlight housings. And 2 coats of clear. I didn't wetsand or anything since they're going to be inside a headlight housing. Figured not worth it. The goal here wasn't to black them out, but to just give them a darker orange look. Turned out exactly how I wanted for the most part :)

Also got my HID kit and DRL killers from Primo!

OK well got them to work. One of the ballasts is dead, so I could only play with one side at a time.

Some pics:

Ballast Mounting. 4 zipties for each ballast :)

Here's some light output compare pics. These were all taken within about 30 minutes of each other.

You'll see that I put some tape on the garage door, marking where the 'cutoff' was on the stock halogen setup.

1st is just the stock Halogen:

Thanks man. I wrote Mike a PM saying one is dead. The bulb fires for a split second but then dies. Troubleshot it down to the ballast. So I wrote him a PM asking what we might be able to do. Maybe I'll just give you guys a shout tomorrow and stop by, cuz I wanted to talk about a 4bolt swap on the Talon anyway.

[goodhart]

Wow, that looks really good man! I wish I had the balls to do a retrofit in the Subie or the talon...

[Halon]

Thanks for the new ballast Primo :)
