LOL @ HID back up lights.

Geez, why HID reverse lamps? You going off roading in that?

[johnecon2001 82]

Not even that, true HID lights have a ballast that has to ignite the lamp that has warm up upon first start. They don't get to their peak brightness until 6-9 seconds later.

Using them as backup lights is worthless, because you have to wait longer to see better.

umm buddy, i have many cars with HID lights,,,, mine take about 4 seconds,....... and regardless, my tint is so dark that i need more light to see when backing up, see when i get my new wheels i want to see the road when im backing, in texas we dont have alot of curbs out side the citys, we have ditchs,

[johnecon2001 82]

Regardless of your excuses.. its a dumb idea.

Maybe you shouldn't have tinted that dark then?

Just get LED reverse lights

[jonbearsmt 919]

i have LED back up lights now, they cut it inside and even as my curb lights, but thay are not doing well as back up lights, i even have the 25 led per bulb ones,,, there just not doin it,

as far as it being my dumb idea, im sure it is, many many things i have done people say THATS DUMB..... but the first man who put a house speaker in his car,........ the man who started car audio,.... im sure people said he was dumb aswell.... but who cares.... its what i want, i didnt ask you to fund it, i didnt even ask if you would help me on that... i would not be suprised if in 2010 thay start useing SOMTHING LIKE hids for backing up,

chill out

what head unit do u have? why not just get a backup camera for it. Pioneer makes a really nice backup camera that hooks right up to the avic series of headunits and some of the DEH series. i would think that would be even better than HIDs for the rear, just my opinion tho. I see alot of vehicles with extremely dark tint. and the only thing i've seen really work is the backup camera

Whhaaat, I gotta see the pics of HID reverse lights! I liked the thrill of backing up with my tint and not seeing anything!

...and you answer your question, no you don't need dual alt's. $600 for two alts w/bracket, that sounds to good to be true.

[jonbearsmt 919]

i have a nice pioneer indash dvd unit with the back up cam option, i guess i could go that route, but its just to PLAIN!, im a razzel dazzel kinda guy, thats why i have custom wood floors in my car... do i need it???? NO... do i like it... yes..... HID back up lights, that is a little strange, but its wicked cool,

and the 600 bucks is for the bracket and an ALT, and a few pullys all the bolts... i was intrested in finding out more about,running 1 12v alt, and system for the car, and 1 alt on a 16 v system for my trunk....... thats more why i wanted two. that and, its bad ass when you pop that hood and the motor is o no clean, and ya got things that people have never seen in person... ahhhhh

[KickinAudio 5]

If you got money for toys, buy them.

Those 3 yellow tops are plenty of power, no need for the 16v.

[jonbearsmt 919]

ok, i was thinking today to sell my yellow tops and go with 3 Kinetik 2000's

if i can use one under the hood,

yellow tops, or Kinetiks? IF I NEED TO DO ANYTHING

of the wood floor.

[KickinAudio 5]

There aren't anything special about Kinetik batteries, keep the yellow tops.

[jonbearsmt 919]

the wood floors are in the works, as soon as its done ill post some pics... for now all i have are pics thats i took to see how it may look, and also pics of my mock ups..... M5 i wouldnt lie to you all!
