Project Blazed
#301
i run stock housings with my HIDs and have great light output. i would love projectors if they didn't have such crappy build quality.
if your box you currently have is 2.0 cubic feet you could actually have a much smaller box because type r's only need .65-1.0 cubic feet sealed. ported is 1.0-2.0 cubic feet.
does that help?

1.) How big a size difference will i see in sub boxes between a single ported box and double sealed box?
2.) I'm pretty sure my dad will be getting me 5 cragar d windows,5x4.75 bolt pattern, 15x8" rim, 4" backspacing, from what i've read i believe i wont have any rubbing issues (maybe minor), does that sound good to you?
3.) Would it be better to just buy a single HID kit throw that in the low beams and calling it good rather than spending the $400-500 for projectors? How big a difference is the light output?

MTopper and Bennedict1337
Thanks so much for youre response's!
I think i will just get a pair of 5k HIDs for my Lowbeams and leave it at that for now just to see what i think.
As for the sub question I'll still have to see what i want to do and what i have the money for
And lastly the Cragars i will most likely be getting for christmas along with a spare tire to match the rest of my wheels =)
Thanks again for all the input!

Do any local tire or wheel stores carry these? or is the only way to buy them online?

Well to tint my marker lights i sanded them down to get all the lettering off, then did light coats letting it dry in between layers. Thats the strategy I've started to use in order to prevent it from cracking. Also i got the clearence lights from Advanced Auto Parts but i would strongly suggest getting something nicer like Recon's or something.
why whats wrong with those? just some burn out or something?

I think these would look pretty cool on your truck. The polished lip look is growing on me...

you could go with the procomps. Thats what I have. They are 4.5" backspacing too. I think the procomps are about $50 a rim
