Can somone (Munch) chime in as to where we can find a low beam upgrade...cause they are horrible, I cant see the road without using my foglights. The high beams on the other hand are the greatest high beams on the face of the earth. The only thing I can compare them to is the lights that cops use to illuminate stuff...the ones with that handle.

Also, the halos, and leds are very bright ans very nice, the car is impossible to identify now, it looks like a $60k+ car comin at you.

Try moving the bulb a little in the socket. I was amazed by what a fraction of an inch did. I think I ended up turn mine slightly like I was going to remove them.

I have the black on my polar posted here http://my68chevelle.com/scion_pics.htm

Give me about a week and I'll let you know how my HIDs work out. I don't have my car because I put it up for the winter. I'll be back in PA where my car is if we don't get the 6-12 inches of snow this weekend. I'm crossing my fingers on this

Lip, good comparison on how it might look, but these are different lights. I'm sure you know that, but the other guy might not...

i'd would have bet that as well since they are splitting the wires at the 3 prong stock harness. The lights i posted take 2 H1's

Looks like they're just sharing the ground. So they're H1 bulbs for both? Just making sure cuz I'm ordering new bulbs for my HID setup and want to get the right ones. Too expensive to get the wrong ones, LoL.

Has anyone figured out which bulb you would have to buy to upgrade the low beams?
