New member with an issue...

2000GTX

New member
First of all I am new to the forum but not to Grand Prix's....I owned a 2000 GT Sedan(totalled) as well as a 2000 GTP coupe(totalled) and now I have a 2000 GTX coupe that I just bought. Now I am getting a couple of issues with it...during night driving the gauges and climate control lights up as it is supposed to but after a bit of driving the lights go out and it goes back to daytime mode and the HUD and information center get a little brighter. Does anybody know what is the issue and what I can do to fix it?
In addition to that my headlights seem dangerously dim...I already have a little bit of trouble driving at night due to my eyes and the dim headlights aren't helping. Any suggestions on how to fix them on a college budget? (I am not ready for HID's or projectors yet)
 


i think the sensor on the dash is bad

silverstars are $40 a pair and they are alot brighter than factory halogens
 
well i dnt trust ebay brand HIDs because all the ebay kits ive seen havent lasted a full year. the kits on XtremeHIDs.com will last forever and thats what i buy. so if these are ebay brand than i would watch out. if they are not then whats the link?
 


Here's the site:

http://www.hidxtra.com/d4/d4.html

Login: hid
Password: hid8547

It's not suppose to be a "public" site, only for "special" customer's. The way I see it, all of us here at gpf.com are "special"

Check it out if you don't have HID's already, or are looking for a different set. On their site, they show up to 12000k. They do not offer 15000k as of right now, but do carry 30000k for certain bulb types. I wasn't too sure how the 30000k would look (they say it's pretty close to purple), so I just went with some more 12000k.
 
hmm ok, I will try to take a look at that sensor and maybe try and get at it.

I couldn't get that login and password to work for some reason but I think I will just go with the silverstars right now.
 
i wouldnt waste my money on silver stars to be quiet frank..our headlights are a poor design to start with..and HIDS are cheaper and are prob 20 mins of work....
 
yea 30,000k is straight pink. ive seen pink and its awesome ha. 15,000k is like a blue/purple and 20,000k is purple and 25,000k is purple/pink. but different brands say different colors. thanks for the link ive never heard of this site. ill be checkin it out.
 


The HIDextra sets are pretty decent. The output is great. I've had mine in for a few months, now with no problems.
