First Mod - Pro Halogen Bulb Replacement

[ricachoterols]

The first thing I noticed that still bugs me til today about my Tero is the headlights. It's yellow and not bright enough.

The answer....




A set of Nokya Arctic White Pro Halogens - Stage II. Color temp is 7000k; wattage: 100/120w. To keep the sockets and wires from melting, I got a set of harness upgrades with 12 guage wires with heat-proof wire insulations and bulb sockets.

I'm not opting for HID's just yet because I'm not sure if I'm keeping this rig after a year.

I'll be installing these tomorrow and will post night pics later.

For those who care to know....

The new bulbs and upgrade harness are in. I had to wait til its dark out to take some photos.

Head-on view:


Comparison between regular and Nokya Pro Halogens (pic taken earlier in the day during work.)

Comparison between stock harness/socket and upgraded ones. Big difference!


I didn't have to reaim the headlights, the beams casted are still perfectly aligned.

Next, some PIAA fogs. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Wow those look really good for bulbs. How much were they?

Yeh I put in some MTEC's. But I think I'm going to go HID. I've already got it on my Mazda3 and I love the output.

i have a question about your install...

did you splice that new connector harness to your existing headlight harness or did it have enough wire to run it back all the way to the beginning of the head light circuit (be it a terminal board a relay or whatever)....? i am asking because i notice where you cut off your original headlight connector....

do you have a link or a better picture of the harness install you can share with us?
