Bronco Boy's 2002 GT

[SaukRapids]

Neighbor at the spot up north has LED fogs. She bought her gp with retrofits, and the fogs are a nice touch.

Yours turned out nice.

I thought about going the led route myself but ehh for the price plus the performance they still can't beat a hid foglight projector but they're still better then just the standard hid in a reflector setup and no need for anything extra like bulbs or ballast.

I wish I had room for retros down there. I want to retain the stock mount/adjuster. We did a comparison here at work with HID vs LED in a stock headlight; very close in performance. I'm leaving my HID ballasts' and harness in, just in case I'm not impressed with these LED's.

Yours turned out nice.

Thanks.

If anyone needs any stock fog lights for 97-03 grand prix for this LED upgrade let me know I have a set that's like new for cheap

Picked up a "bra" for the hood. Was hoping to cover a few big rock chips, but the bra doesn't cover hi enough. Not sure if I like it.....

Stuck a new reflec-dome gloss black w/red reflective border sticker to the front of the car.....

 

[Bronco Boy]

Put some reflective red stickers on the sill plates.....

Those door sill overlays look great. I like mine as well.

The front pontiac arrowhead looks good as well.

Thanks. They are a nice subtle touch.

Funny thing is that I swear I ordered red with a black background, but this one is growing on me.

Fog lights are done and they are growing on me. Less overall output than my old HID's, but good output further out. Going to keep them installed for now and hopefully they stay on.

I have an aftermarket wiring harness for the HID fogs, so to bypass the ballasts' I made a 9006 to 880 wiring harness:

Transferring the currently used mount on to the new light:

Ready to go on the car:

5000K headlights, 5000K HID fog on the passenger side, 5500K LED fog on the drivers side:

Sits back close to the stock position and is much darker in colour:

Comparison time:

Right light installed:

Added 13.34hp and 13.42lb/ft! LOL

For those that aren't aware, this is the 2nd used K&N CAI I bought. A certain "camo" member on this board screwed me over on the first one. Thankfully "bcmonzai" saw my issue, and I ended up getting this K&N kit from him. Thanks again Addam!





Used kit as I got it. It was complete, except for 1 flat washer. That is how you sell used parts Camo!

Dirty filter.

Clean filter.

Installed.

 

[bcmonzai]

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you out and thanks for getting some stuff out of my overcrowded garage.

K&N HP claims are definitely suspect, even for a supercharged car.

Installed some XP80 reverse LED's from Diode Dynamics.....

Also updated the interior LED's. I had Putco LED's in there for 6 years, and found them to be on the "blue" side. I went with HP5's and 12LED boards from Diode Dynamics. They are cool white, 6000K.

The XP80 reverse LED's are great. How do you like them? I have had mine on for quite awhile and still like how they look and the amount of light they put out compared to an incandescent buld.

Nice. Judging by the looks of yours, Diode Dynamics has changed the color of the LED boards. I have some of the originals and they are more blue than what you have and more blue than the HP5's.

I like them so far. I had HID's in before, so light output isn't what I am used to. My main reason for changing is I have grown tired of the warm up time of the HID's. Here's the light output I gave up.....

I do plan on mounting some auxillary LED lights under the rear of the car to help me with my lighting fettish. LOL

Well that is good news, seeing as how the "blue" is why I changed. The boards only come in 6000K, so I got the HP5 194's to match. I am really shocked as to how "white" they really are. Very happy with the interior lights. Here's how "blue" the old Putco bulbs were (mostly the 9 LED boards in the center map lights).....

 

[The Guz]

They definitely look much better in the interior than your previous lighting. Once mine go out I will replace them with the new versions.

Looks good, a pick of the reverse lights from inside the car out of the back window would be good to show what it would look like in the car.

Good call. My back window is "limo" tint and the side windows are "light" tint.


Looking out the back window from the drivers seat; no lights:
