What did you do with your DH Genesis today?

[arni0202]

My left front blinker went out last week. After looking through threads about short lifespan on bulbs I went the cheap route and got a set of 2357 bulbs for $5. I'm happy I went with the clear bulbs instead of the amber ones. The silver/white hue from the DRL looks classier to me than the orange.

We'll see how long these last (installed 8/19/2018) and I may go with LEDs the next time around.

I thought about using white but just wasnt sure I'd like white front turn signals. I was having trouble with the standard bulbs not being the same brightness too.

They're definitely different! I'll take a quick vid when I get home and post here so you can have an idea of what they look like.

Finally got new shoes. It drives like a dream!








Also washed, clayed and sealed/waxed:
(funny thing is that they told me at the dealership that they clayed my card too which I found hard to believe. I bought it on Monday last week. Just look how much dirt it picked up with just a few passes on part of the hood....).

i like that color - how many miles on your old tires?

Thank you. Old tires(original) had 37k miles on them. I could tell that they have never been rotated because of uneven wear, all were cupping on both sides and front ones were almost gone. People should learn to rotate their tires...

Sorry that took me a minute to remember to get out there and take some pics!

Sorry it's raining but you get the idea of how they look as white bulbs vs the amber

Thank for the comparison. I can not tell much of a difference from the amber or yellowish/white light bulbs.

They look pretty much the same - thanks

Took 8 days and now the RIGHT blinker went out (it was replaced at the same time I did the left one) So that's pretty lame.
I got 1157's but they hyperflash. I'm already getting used to the sound though lol. I got some more $7 regular bulbs if it drives me crazy.
Glad the bulbs are so easily accessible. With my AEM cold air intake I can pop them both out in under 5 minutes.

I am thinking of getting the following bulbs:

AMAZON

It is white when on and orange when blinking. Also need to install resistor with these so they do not hyperflash but it is easy.

I might be wrong but I believe some ppl have had a problem on here with the switchback lights not working correctly. So did you buy the Pilot LEDs?

 

[kocyk123]

Good to know that. For some reason I got used to the amber/orange DRL on my Genesis and I actually like the way it looks. Although I was passing base Genesis and his where yellow halogen and not amber orange. I think it is just a preference.

I also like my amber running lights. I am tired of white LED DRL bulbs now anyway since I have installed them on my last few cars that did not have factory LED running lights. Plus, everyone is doing it now in my area on older cars and newer cars without factory LED running lights. Amber running lights actually stands out now.

I may do an amber LED bulb swap for a deeper amber color look.

I don't mind the amber, you can always switch on the LEDs as you wish, its nice to have options.

This forum loves pictures

Btw, welcome to the forum!

What brand of pads did you go with?

 

[Bornwildguy]

Got my Genesis a couple months ago and have been getting ideas for it. So far have tinted the windows, painted the calipers and added 20 x 9 Niche M204 wheels and 255/35r20 Nexen n7000 tires. So far very happy with it.

Beautiful ride! This was my dream color combination... How does the ride quality compares to the stock rims?
