Where did you find a painted M Sport bumper? I'd love to get my hands on one before I install my headlights, bulbs and reflectors! |

I brought it to a local paint shop in Yorba Linda - Pekok Automotive. They did a great job on the paint and laid down an extra layer of clear coat for me since I do so much highway driving. The bulbs are all GPThunder 8500k purchased through amazon. 2 sets of H7 for high beam and low beam: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 set of H8 for the fog lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Being 8500k, they may have a slight purple hue to them and may not be for everyone. As shown on page 30, the 5500k's look pretty white) Then I got the Philips P21W silver vision bulbs for the turn signals. They are "chrome" painted so there isnt an orange color in the housing when they arent on: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have the monday after Christmas off so I may try to do the bumper and headlights then. Ive been working on cars a while now so it shouldnt be too bad. I dont mean to threadjack but here is a link to my 240sx build that is currently sitting in FL if anyone is interested....performed an engine build and swap and working on doing a front end conversion as well: http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=550171 Last edited by MONSTAR; 12-18-2016 at 03:27 PM..

Sad news for me... mine was supposed to be shipped Wednesday and arrive yesterday... I noticed the updates weren't happening and the tracking constantly states that the package was in CA. Called them and come to find out the package didn't even leave CA. Now they are saying they are going to try and rush it out so I should get it Tuesday. Sooo pissed.

Just looked at GP Thunders own website and they're really discounted!
I bought two sets (4 bulbs) of GP-Thunder H7 Plasma White 7500K for Headlamp/Fog Light/Daytime Running Light (55W Standard Wattage Bulbs GP75k-H7) for $23.96. Shipping & Handling was $ 7.99. Total $31.95 |

Well, after ordering some Philips CrystalVision Ultra (4000K) H7's for my hi/lo beams and some Hyper Yellow (3000K) H8's for my fog lights, I decided that they weren't going to be sufficient to achieve the look I was going for and ended up jumping on the GP Thunder bandwagon.
I just ordered two sets of GP Thunder (7500K) H7 bulbs and a set of GP Thunder (7500K) H8 bulbs. Cost me a little more than half of what the Philips bulbs cost and should do a much better job at giving me a whiter light output. Totals: GP Thunder Setup - $45 Philips Setup - $78 |

Wow those are some great deals guys! I had a few minutes of free time last night and got the low beams and the turn signals replaced. From first look, the high beam bulbs may be a little bit of a pain to get to...
I have to look at them again but it seemed like you have to take the rubber cap off the side and then somehow fit a tiny screw driver in there sideways |

Thanks for the pics man, that looks really messed up. So the bulb sits on the left?
Could I trouble you to take some pics of the access hole of the projector low beam? |

The hole for the low beam is much larger and straight forward. 2 screws hold down the bulb bracket. I'm not at home currently to snap a picture but I will get one later unless someone else has one to share

Do these screws need to be loosened in order to fit the bulb? I thought little metal bulb holders were what kept the bulb in place
