Default Rennbay headlight assembly question

This is the set I assume everyone is raging about? For those who have purchased them, how do you like them?

1 last lighting question

Has anyone tried these bulbs yet? I am guessing these are for night time track racing only? Link below

I've got them... if it wasn't quality, Travis wouldn't sell it.

Stunning difference. That help?

Dont be too concerned about wattage of the bulbs. You can run the 100w no problem with good lenses that are most importantly aimed correctly. The E-Code lenses are not DOT approved but have a far superior beam cutoff than the DOT lenses. When aimed correctly they are not blinding or annoying to oncoming traffic. I have been running 100w headlights for a long time in my car with E-Code lenses (Iceshark harness)... lighting output is fantastic and is as good as most modern cars that dont have HID's. I really like HID's but in my opinion only look / work well in cars with projector type housings.

I was a big fan of the amber 100w Hella bulbs that Rennbay also has, but they are way to yellow and dont want to give police any reason to pull me over.

The kit is fairly easy to install and I've rum the 80/100s with nos issues - our cars are low enough that the lights do not cause problems for most other drivers.

We still have the some complete harness / lenses / 2 sets of bulbs packages on sale for $199. It comes with the high wattage yellow stars and some standard wattage bulbs as well.

That is a damn good deal too. The E codees make a big difference, and with the higher wattage bulbs and the upgraded harness, they are a huge improvement over stock light output.

I am sold! Just ordered the kit! Can't wait till it gets here!

Hey Travis, do you sell those long screws that bolt the headlights to the housing? I dropped one :S and it's long gone :S
