#4229 of 4431 Actually... by hammen2 Aug 10, 2005 (7:43 pm)
...I know this is off-topic, but I've run across posts on the 'net from someone who argues that those super-blue/super-white bulbs are actually worse than the stockers as far as visibility.   http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/bulbs.html   Not being a shill for anyone, just passing the info along,   --Robert Replies to this message: evandro (Aug 11, 2005 7:53 am) gxpgtodanman (Aug 13, 2005 12:21 pm)

Replying to: hammen2 (Aug 10, 2005 7:43 pm) I didn't realize that mrrogers was talking about such bulbs. I assumed that he just made sure to get the higher efficiency ones that the pages you mentioned talk about.   However, those pages fail to mention higher wattage bulbs. I understand that they may overload the electrical system, for it wasn't designed to handle them. Yet, I'd appreciate if someone has tried them and if there've been any problems.   TIA

Read your car delema a few pages back. Have you looked at the new Impala?   Under $30,000 for a 303 hp sedan with displacement on demand tech.. Replies to this message: evandro (Aug 12, 2005 10:57 am) rayainsw (Aug 12, 2005 12:18 pm) hammen2 (Aug 12, 2005 12:54 pm) evandro (Aug 12, 2005 1:19 pm)

Replying to: dan165 (Aug 12, 2005 5:30 am) Dan,   Being a Chevy, I'd have to wait and see. Rather, I'm looking forward to the new Grand Prix which, some say, could be RWD. Replies to this message: rayainsw (Aug 12, 2005 12:18 pm) hammen2 (Aug 12, 2005 12:54 pm) evandro (Aug 12, 2005 1:19 pm)

Replying to: rayainsw (Aug 12, 2005 12:18 pm) Typically reliable sources indicate: Not anytime soon . .   Yep, 2008 or (more likely) 2009 model year. GMX284 is the internal project code for this vehicle.

Replying to: rayainsw (Aug 12, 2005 12:18 pm) Regardless, unless Chevy starts making some decent interiors, for the styling is quite bland. Granted, Pontiac doesn't shine in interiors, but just compare the GP's with the current Impala's: no comparison.

Replying to: marksgtp (Aug 08, 2005 7:21 pm) "4. The headlights do, in fact, suck. The condensation doesn't bother me, as I do live in Florida. The dimness is an issue. "   I had 2 company 1997-2003 Grand Prixs and I know the hi-beams are basically useless. It is because they use the SAME bulb for low and highbeam. . The regular beams are so-so. early models of that generation could have condensation problems. The PIAA or Silverstar bulbs do make a slight to ok difference, but get pricey. They are 4500K instead of stock 3200K.

Replying to: hammen2 (Aug 10, 2005 7:43 pm) If you are using the 7500K ones then yes they are worse then the stock bulbs as far as visibility. Anything up to about 4500-5000K is ok. Make sure they are 65W which is fine for the headlight assembly and wiring/harness. They do give you that near HID look at night. Silverstars are very good.   I use the 4500K regular super/blue white bulbs and they are slightly brighter then stock in my own night time driving. They make 65 watts out of 55 watts, so ok for the electrical system and headlight assembly. They give me a nice white look "semi hid" instead of the yellowish/whitish look of Halogen.
#4238 of 4431 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix Exhaust Tip Removal by dpdevil16 Aug 15, 2005 (4:34 am)
I want to replace the original exhaust tips on my new 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with the dual round chrome exhaust tips found on the GXP. Several website that sell the dual round chrome exhaust tips indicated that they utilize clamp-on installation, which is great.   However, would anyone know how to get the original ones off? Are they soldered on? They don't appear to by welded. Has anyone else even attempted this?   Thanks.
