Are you guys seriously trying to say that this ^ is Cool
and not RICE? :arrow: Are you kidding me? :mrgreen:

Even if this was OEM from the showroom, the first thing i would do is pull those ricer LED's off.

This is the same person who was looking or body kit for his car months back, and now talks about how these led's are rice :grin: . So im guessing you will ripp of the whole headlight assemblies from Audi's and rip them from merc's. You're such a tool man :grin:

WHAT I AM SAYING IS

The Philips LEDs are not dirty and cheap like the ones saw in the picture above. It has only 4 led bulbs and are pretty small. It turns off automatically when the headlights comes On as well. Here's a mockup on how it would probably look on an Altima with stock bumpers.

And guys, I was wondering if the Philips White halogens which are simply plug and play replacement to the normal halogen headlamps are illegal in Dubai as well? I mean these guys make a hell lot of trouble during Shamil or tasjeel vehicle testing. I'm not talking about HID kits without projectors, rather just halogen bulbs with white light compared to the traditional one.

This the bulb that suits the low beam for Altima. It doesn't mention anything about the color spectrum number though. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-CrystalVi ... 850&sr=8-1

it does it says in Product Features Color Temperature of Up to 4,000 Kelvin. Most vehicles are equipped with standard halogen bulbs with a Kelvin around 3200°K. For pure white you need around 4,300-5000K, any more higher than that and u get a bluish purple color.

So I can assume that this shouldn't be much of a problem in Dubai, yeah? :)

haha true man. Had to pay shipping with Aramex though, still its way cheaper. Oh and its way better than the Chinese ones you get here for less than 100 bucks. This one is worth it.
