skeemer Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Has anyone tried and had any luck clearing the yellow from the lens? It seems much too bright, and a few friends have told me it's blindingly bright when I'm behind them. I know the aim is ok, I checked that out, it just seems too yellow. I was thinking it would look better all white light coming from the front. So, any pointers? Can they be cleared? Is it just a coating on the lens or are the bulbs yellow?

SKperformance Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 one guy said he removed the amber lens in it but i would say your beams are pointed still too high if driver can see them as they are projectors ad direct the beam low and wide rather than a normal scatter of light which can be picked up easily by other drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeemer Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 I'll check them out again. While you're here answering questions, what is the offset for rims? As in, what does that number mean? I see all these different offset numbers, what what does that measurement actually mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 offset is the difference in mm from the hub, where the rim meets the cars wheel hub or brake rotor to the center of the rim almost all rims are a negative offset so a normal es 300 offset of 43mm would mean there is adifference of 43 mm from the center of the rim to where its bolts meet the inside of the rim this part i found on the web to answer it more simpler than my terms it is located at http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/brochure/i...heelOffsets.jsp they also have pictures to make it simpler The offset of a wheel is what locates the tire and wheel assembly in relation to the suspension. More specifically, it is the measured distance between the hub mounting surface and the center line of the rim. Below is an explanation of the various types of offsets which are pictured in the above graphic. Positive Offset A positive offset occurs when the hub mounting surface is on the street side (the side you see) of the center line of the rim. Most factory rims will have this type of offset. Zero Offset When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset. Negative Offset If the hub mounting surface is on the brake side of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset or "deep dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeemer Posted July 21, 2003 Author Share Posted July 21, 2003 thanks for the help. I did a search on google but all i came up with was a bunch of places to buy rims. i really like the is rims but i heard they have a different offset? does that make them incompatable?

SKperformance Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 they can be used fine i think they look better with a 5 mm spacer to offset the rims more to the outside for a slightly optical wider stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav_logan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 It's probably been said before... But don;t forget what the yelow in your fog lights is for... (seeing in the fog). If you remove it, they'll just be lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 yup the yelow is supposed to helpsince it is less reflective but it and about 99.9% of other foglights are just !Removed! they look good on a car but they do nothing for fog even my $600 dollar ones are not much better i used it one night we had pea soup fog and nothing it was just as bad ok a little better than the stock ones were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
