Volkswagen Space Up! Blue Concept

At mytightride.com we enjoy to keep up with the latest in concept cars. We also carry an array of custom auto part for Volkswagons.

Volkswagen says that it’s Space Up! Blue features the world’s first high temperature fuel cell. Powered by 12 lithium-ion batteries, the Space Up! Blue is fully electric with a possible range of 65 miles and is able to be recharged either by plugging in to an electrical outlet, or via its fuel cell capability, which extends the vehicle’s range to a total of 220 miles on a single charge. The Space Up! Blue is also capable of charging its batteries by using the solar panel mounted to its roof which is able to feed 150 watts of power. Lower weight and price, as well as greater utility are pegged as key features VW says could help push its fuel cell technology into mass production.

Don’t waste your money buying an HID kit first THEN upgrading to Projector Headlights!!!

2003 Chevi Impala UBER l33t

My name is Gersom from Mytightride.com and i just recently got my 2003 Chevy Impala a face lift. I want to thank Marco awsome job homie.. the make over started by removing all my old stuff and getting the HID kits set up on the new headlights. Once he got that all squared away the projector headlights and HID it was mounting time, once we checked that it looked increadibly awsome Marco installed the custom grille and it was ready to go.

H.I.D. Kits part 2

There is a misconception that color temperature is a rating of the brightness of the HID bulb. The truth is that the higher the color temperature, the less light output from the HID bulb. Again, if you’re looking for the maximum amount of light from your HID kit, choose the 4,300k bulb. 4,300k bulbs will have the highest lumens output of any HID system.

What is Lumens? Lumens in relation to HID is the intensity of light. In comparison to OEM halogen bulbs, HID bulbs are on average three to five times brighter. The lumens of an HID bulb will be two to three times greater than the lumens of an OEM automotive halogen bulb. You could compare the power and intensity of HID with a welder’s arc. Same principle and same type of light. Instead of a halogen bulb using a filament to create the light source, HID uses gas-filled capsule and an electric arc to create the light. This arc of light is far more intense than the filament of a halogen filament bulb.

More light = more power requirements This is not true with HID bulbs. The HID kit will produce approximately 23,000 volts. Although a huge amount of power, the HID system will only draw 35 watts of current. The standard OEM halogen bulb will consume 55 watts of power. Therefore the HID system will draw far less current from your vehicle’s electrical system. The power conversion is achieved with the use of a ballast. Like a florescent home lighting system, the florescent ballast generates more electricity for the bulb but consumes less electricity in comparison to a standard incandescent bulb.

Mytightride.com carries many popular types of HID systems. They also carry the Bi-xenon HID bulbs for those headlight systems with combined high beam & low beam bulbs.

9008-H13 Bulbs, 9007-HB5 Bulbs, 9006-HB4 Bulbs, 9005-HB3, 9004-HB1 ,9003-HB2-H4, H3, H1, H7

All About HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting

What’s all this noise about HID lighting? I see more and more vehicles on the road with HID headlights. Many new vehicles come with HID lighting from the factory. Why HID ?

Automotive Aftermarket HID lighting 9008, 9007, 9006, 9005, 9004, 9003, H3, H1,

HID versus halogen: High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting technology replaces the filament of the light bulb with a capsule of gas. The light is emitted from an arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes sealed inside a small capsule. This arc is similar to the light of an arc welder. To operate, each HID bulv requires individual ballasts, which supply proper voltage and meter current. The amount of light emitted from the HID lighting system is far greater than a standard halogen bulb. While, at the same time, consuming less power.

Color of HID lighting & Kelvin: Kelvin (K) in relation to HID is the color temperature of light. That light color is on a spectrum that varies from 3,300k to 12,000k. Starting on the left, 3,300k is the color temperature of OEM halogen bulbs. 3,300k is kind of a yellowish color. The next step up would be 4,300k. 4,300k is the equivalent of sunlight. This will be the brightest and whitest color available with an HID lighting system. If you are looking for strictly the brightest bulbs on the market, go with 4,300k. Next is 6,000k. 6,000k has a tint of blue and will be similar to many Infiniti/Nissan factory HID bulbs. 8,000k will be bluer than 6,000k and is similar to many factory BMW and Mercedes HID bulbs. 10,000k and 12,000k will shine a purple light. Although we have those colors available, we don’t recommend it. Try and drive at night behind a purple light. Not real easy. These HID kits are more for show.

Glenn with his Ford F150

Owner of mytighride.com.  Glenn drives around in his Ford F150 with a custom mesh grille, halo projectore headlights with a HID kit attached. Also on the side he has installed running boards with it painted to match the color of the truck. In the back he has custom fiber optic tail lights and a third brake light on the top. Yes this is quite the spiffed out truck, and all part are available on mytightride.com

Mustang 99-04 projector halo headlights

The latest dual angel eye style projector headlamps for 99-04 Mustangs, the dual angel eyes surround the projector.

Facelift for Dodge Ram

Matthew K from Irvine, CA just back from a tour of duty in Iraq, brought us his 2005 Dodge Ram to install a set of angel eye projector headlights and an upper and lower billet grill.

Matthew’s truck experience quite a transformation at our shop. First, we removed the lower plastic cover on the valance so we could install the lower bumper billet grill.

As you can see, its a fine looking RIDE now with a new set of projector and an upper and lower billet grill. Thanks Matthew!!
