So here are the updated pictures - better for comparisons

Some PIAA 2 LED parking lights

With HIDs on

BTW - these HIDs look great - who wants to pay thousands of dollars for a retrofit HID projector lamps. They dont melt the mousing or my parking lights and they make the road bright and sparkly. Well, you don't get the super crisp cut off line but I dont think I'm ever going to compare cut off lines and such. Others might...if so, feel free to go all out.

Getting a set of Hotchkis Sway bars next week.

ya, i wanna see some comparison pics...

djct_watt · 03-10-2005, 07:08 PM

I'd just drill out the bolts that were snapped. . . dunno how it is beneath the bolt, but you can drill a small hole, put in a very small screw, and push it down until it falls through (to where?). I've also seen reverse thread screws(difficult to find) that you could use to pull it out.

Damn you guys and yout tein s techs.

I told myslef that I wasn't going to drop my car for awhile but every time I see one dropped on the tein's it looks so hot. I'm really liking your headlight eye lids also. Keep up the good work.

TurboMe · 03-12-2005, 04:46 AM

where did u get the HID kit?

Fixtion · 03-12-2005, 05:32 AM

Kudos on the drop, HID kit, and headlight overlays.

Sum it all up . . . C L E A N !

KYBoy · 03-12-2005, 06:32 AM

are the hids 8000K?

Somnambulated · 03-12-2005, 06:52 AM

TIGHT LIKE A TIGER! That looks GREAT!

Are those Bat's overlays, or painted?

dhan · 03-12-2005, 09:53 AM

The HIDs i got it from a friend - they're McCullochs 8000k HID kits - I think you can find them on ebay for around 300 bucks. The HID in the pictures look greenish/blue but in reality, theyre very clear white with a tiny bit of blue.

The overlays are Bats - they are slighty off color but I talked to Bat about it and he was nice enough to find a different match and send me a new pair - still waiting for them to arrive. Good guy he is. I think he's also working on eyelids that will match the line of your hood.

Fixtion · 03-12-2005, 11:12 PM

^ If you don't trust ebay for whatever reason, you can purchase that version and others at this place. http://www.ultrabrightlights.com/

p.s. I don't work or have any association with the website nor McCullochs.

thousands of dollars? all the hardware required will cost roughly 500, the rest is labor. it might be hard work, but the final product is much better than throwing in an HID "kit" into a halogen reflector housing.
edit: 8000k HIDs? even more of a waste. that's just my opinion of course. your car still looks good.
