CarId post on 3SI - Their Idiots!!!

[93STLTH]

I just came in to say, you put the wrong "their" in your thread title.

Gotta spell correct to call someone an idiot

Maybe he meant that CarID are idiots belonging to the other site. That would make them their idiots.

I don't understand the blind loyalty some people have for that site. They refuse to come over here and they see this site as causing a divide in the 3S family.

Auto Forums and dpfdipshit caused a divide.

It's a canned ad that goes on all autoguide forums. I'm going to play devil's advocate here, since I think you were a tad harsh on them.

As far as increased light output, technically it does. I've used the "daytime running light" thing in my ads. Their ad is just poorly worded, and they should put a disclaimer is doesn't replace your actual headlights. I don't know about the halos they are advertising, but I know the halos I got from superbrightled easily could be used as foglights they were so bright LOL.

And for the record, I used three different sized halos for our headlights: 80mm for headlights that keep inserts, 85mm for 99 headlights, and 90mm for robo modded headlights. And the 60mm might work for the foglights.

Their video is generic, just like a majority of all the video for installing halos. I learned the hard way that you cannot bake open all headlights. Luckily, there are numerous write-ups for our headlights, they should have took the time to link on of those threads than their generic video.

Which ones can't you bake open? I have baked open a few sets of 94's, obviously, and a few sets of 95-98 too.

I didn't watch the entire video, because I have crappy internet... as soon as I saw the heatgun I knew what they were doing. I was saying all headlights, as in every make and model. I know for a fact you cannot bake open Challenger headlights. You can melt the housing away from the lens, but you cannot bake them open, the glue is unbakeable LOL.

[stealthee]

Oh, I thought you were still on 3s headlights.

So are you implying that you tried to bake to Challenger lights open?

[dbest671]

3S headlights don't sell like they used too, so I've moved away from headlights all together. I haven't messed with a set in over a year.

Of course I tried to bake them open because AAC said they could and they "do them all the time". What they forgot to mention is once you melt the housing away from the lens (took me 6 hours), you still have to cut through that glue Chrysler used. Shit is like tire rubber. The second headlight was cut open with a dremel in 5 minutes LOL.

Well, April, I might be able to talk Milt into shipping my 99 lights to you for modding...if you're interested.

As to AF, I think the number of likes I dished out in this thread should indicate my sentiments towards them. They still don't play fair--3SGTO is till a taboo phrase over there (whether in website form or just offhand). And it doesn't help that there are so many people playing both sides of the fence, posting threads on both sites (SinVR4 is a prime example).

Builds should be posted here. I would argue even against putting them on us3s or other 3/s forums, simply because they aren't banned by 3sdie, and no one on that site should be able to access information over here without making a deliberate attempt at it. I don't want people visiting some random small-traffic site to see build info, and then reverting to satan's lair to discuss it. Pics, discussion, how-to's...they all belong on HERE.

And oh yeah, if I take new pics of my car for a build thread or COTM submission, I'm not above putting a giant sign in the window that says 3SGTO.ORG in the window. Fuck the draconian sensor assclowns at 3sdie; every last one of them, especially including dpfdipshit.

[dbest671]

I think I'm done with headlights... it's really not worth the time and effort for me anymore.

Thadd, we pretty much know your sentiments about everything... so you really don't need to dish out the likes.

And the term 3sgto isn't exactly taboo, it just depends on how you use it . You mention 3sgto without being a complete ass, you will usually get a way with it. Lord knows I've mentioned 3sgto on a few occasions. But when you blatantly spam 3sgto while at the same time saying how 3si blows... yeah it gets deleted and you're warned/suspended/banned/. It's all about tact . And if it blows so bad, then do go over there... simple enough.

Thadd,

Most newish people on "that" site don't even know about this site since the topic is taboo. Im unsure of the reason the TX people have being more active there than here; excluding Adam, Steven and myself that I know of.

Im still on both, but only replying in threads and not making anything new. I wish others would jump ship too; bringing all the knowledge here and let Nelson and the noobs figure it out for themselves.
