2008 Headlight swap to 12,000 KW's with halo's with PICS

GTOKILLER · Jan 18, 2012

i was really disappointed with the lack of brightness with the OEM headings at night & in the snow rain. I ordered some 12,000 Kw Halo headlights from Ebay they were about $330.00 WOW what a nice change!! Makes the truck look cleaner up front & way brighter at night.

These were pretty simple with basic tools took about 45 min to install.

New one on the left old on the right: Lights off

Running lights only:

Low beams:

High Beams:

These are wired to my #2 accessory switch inside.

That's awesome!
I wish they were able to make the 2011 lights look like that, but they cheesed them all up lol

Yet they distinct the color via the wattage, greenish, then blue, brightest is purpleish

Yeah, we call them supers. I hate template cars. I run a sportsman, which is basically a stock clip limited late model with an outlaw style body. What chassis do you run?

Going to derail my own thread haha

Sorry u hate em, its a lot of fun!
I race ABC class only rules are temp body, no aluminum heads, no dry sumps. RUN WHAT U BRUNG!!! so its basically a super with a diff body & a wet sump

650 hp 2 barrel 360 motor.

Sweet car!

Down here, supers run those same bodies with spec motors and dry sumped spec motors. I wish they would allow outlaw bodies. But thats a sweet ride. I'll try to figure out how to post pics and make a thread on some of my chassis.

GTOKILLER · Jan 18, 2012

thanks!

Oh, to answer your question its a PSR chassis, california based Co. its a 2009 looks & has a lot of the measurements as the 2011 PortCity, hummm wonder where they got them from??? haha

Ok cool ill look for it!! Yea its crazy how the rules change so much from different areas even in our own state.

e99coalbaron · Jan 18, 2012

Nice! Port City does extensive R & D.

I'm guilty of that though, a few of my measurments are borrowed from Hamke. I took a tour of his shop last january. haha

e99coalbaron · Jan 18, 2012

And yes with the rules!! Our late models are generally on the same page. The crates and 2 barrel limiteds get weight breaks and such to make them more competitive among the supers. But other than that, totally different from track to track!
