///BHRpowered Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 well, 15k is horrible, 4300k is OEM and will provide the most output... Blue LED's well be extremely illegal in all states, blue tinted bulbs are bad, but blue LED's are to close to police colors, none of that requires taking out the headlights though, just bending your arm in 8 different ways. If you want to take them out you will have to remove the grill to access a bolt, some on top when the plastic trim is removed, and on the 01-02 there may or may not be a bolt behind it that you need to remove the fender splash guard for. To remove the reflector is also illegal, but will require removing the headlights, baking them open, and more or less hammering it out with a screw driver.

colbylamb2006 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I like the look of my headlights OEM. All reflectors intact but I will be adding 4300K HIDs to my car when my income taxes come in...(yes I'm still waiting...) 01-02 millenia headlights are very classy..keep them in their original state...you will get pulled over in Atlanta if you have blue LEDs...cops are only supposed to have LEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 You need to seriously take out those hella ricey HID's, for the fogs if you want uber chink lexus look its a 3000k hid kit you seek. Also, the picture you posted is from a member "platinum" He lives in maryland, I have worked on his car and he has worked on mine, I have seen the car up close and ridden in it, he did exactly what I said you'd have to, and if your not into fine details or anything, I would advise you to not do this, you would have to open the headlights by baking them open, then resealing them He custom made the grill himself, personally I hated the front of his car and the springs were cut so it didn't handle great. The blue LED's are extremely illegal, and theres really no point to having them, you could of course convert your brake lights to LED, its about 25 dollars a bulb from www.superlumination.com high power towers is what you need. Plus a resistor for each side for the turn signals. Here is another pic of the side I found from my collection. Back end sat pretty low.

latinopikachu Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Turn the oven to 400 or so, let it heat up, put the headlights inthere until there almost painful to touch, then gently pry them apart. Youll have to work fast as they cooldown, and youll have a bitch of a mess with the sticky adhesive. Putting them back together is a little harder, what i'm doing is using a lighter inch by inch to melt the tar and then scrape it off.

///BHRpowered Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 This is pretty much the largest millenia forum known, there is of course another, but its full of ghetto rats who want to talk about 20's and xbox, here are original and long time owners. I bought mine off the showroom floor brand new and have clerished it every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renboy Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Platinum did what!?!?!?! Isn't he a fucking cop?!?!?!? You'd think him of all people would know better. Please tell me you're joking Frank. Do not scrape the adhesive off the lights like Lat is doing, he's screwing his headlights up by doing that.

mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 damn...that grill is sexy. i wanted to do something similar with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 renboy, yes, platinum was a policer officer, he took off the amber reflector, but every turn signal bulb on his car was amber, tint was legal in his state, and where the reflector was a small amber LED was placed. Now granted the day he did my brakes and I did HID's we were riding in his car at around 110mph on the freeway, he had his badge in the cup holder an wasn't even remotely worried about getting a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 unsafe and stupid yes, not illegal...here mixed - Your probably talking about my gauges with LED's, from the factory they had blue bulb condoms, but they sucked, I changed mine to pure white. on the 01-02 you can't change the color, totally different lighting technology, you could be thinking of malice's photo, with blue gauges and a red needle, that was on a 97 actually and was done by JK, spend a few hours with coloring film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
