Hey man, would you happen to have a photo of how the lights look? Planning on pulling the trigger on the Katana H11's since they match so well with the DRL's but want to make sure they match the TECHMAX mini H11's fogs too.
I ended up going for a less expensive fanless Hikari option instead for the Low Beams: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GKPR452/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Where did you add those LEDS to on your car interior? just the dome lights? Where else could you replace with?
I bought those thanks to this thread. I replaced the 2 map lights, the rear dome light and the trunk light. The OEM map lights weren't bad, but the trunk light was useless.
When I install the HB3 high beam, the light itself is mostly upside down, but not completely vertical. Did you have to adjust it? I don't see a screw to allow for adjustment.After reading through this thread and the HID vs LED thread I was really on the fence about which way to go to replace the halogens on my Si Coupe; I like the output and focus of the HID's but I didn't like the extra wiring and hardware needed to install them correctly.
Si@Vegas was kind enough to meet up with me for a few minutes last night so I could check out his car (great looking ride!) and he demonstrated each bulb (low, high and fog) and explained why he chose what he chose (this guy is awesome!).
After grilling him for info and seeing the output and color of his lights I have now added the exact same setup he has to my amazon shopping cart; bonus - I can replace all of my lights for less than the HID low beams.

Lastly, I know there are going to be some comments about how HIDs are better etc and I will just say this now to those that are going to say it; yep, you are right, I agree 100%. That being said, my eyes are still good enough to see just fine with these and they fit my budget and it's for MY car (not something everyone else is using), so if you don't like it then don't look at my car and focus on YOUR fancy headlights instead.
I did dome, map, and the trunk light. The trunk light is the only one i'm disappointed in, it still doesn't seem very bright. That said the stock bulb is so dim it's also useless. I'm thinking general the trunk light wasn't designed great so regardless of what bulb is in there it'll never illuminate properly.
not bad not bad. Was it a huge difference?
I'm sure the LED is still better than what it originally came with. But that sounds like a good idea to me.
The light is upside down? Not sure I follow..
any recommendation for hid
Some. It's a hatchback, so the light is on the side.
The instructions had pretty much "this side up" and it was almost 180 degrees opposite due to the the bulb location vs the tabs for the headlight assembly. I sent them back and got JDMaster bulbs.
Sooo much better having the light in the middle. Oh well, still love the HB.
I have a ddm kit that all in was $70. Others have had good results with the base ballasts
