    HID Install +Pics - Step by Step

    When I did mine, I had put masking tape on the garage door and marked the center of the stock light beam as best as possible for reference.

    They will not be able to cut it. You'll have to go to a Locksmith. I had mine cut for $7.00.

    HID Install +Pics - Step by Step

    Those photos were taken with iPhone. No doctoring involved. Although I can buy the argument the photo could be a little misleading. There is no comparing to the HID over the stock halogens. In addition I felt the cost was reasonable and I didn't feel opening up the headlights were all the...

    Remote Start Facts (2011 - 2015 only)

    For me, I bought the keys from Jason, had them cut at a locksmith for a few bucks each and programmed them myself. The hardest part was finding a dealership willing to be educated. Three dealerships refused to even look at the documentation that I had.

    HID Install +Pics - Step by Step

    Not sure I follow you mean by installing from the bottom. I do have everything apart. What I did do was install the projector on the headlight housing first, then the bulb, and then the igniter. For the other side maybe I'll try assembling the bulb and igniter onto the projector first then...

    Those are the ones that I have. The connector for the bulb is kind of big. Makes for a tight fit from the back of the bulb to the headlight housing.

    Adding Remote Start

    Just wanted to say thanks again the help. It took going to three dealerships, two refused to look at the documentation that I had. With some persistence the third dealership did review the documentation. $30 later I was on my way with the remote start activated. My advise is to be persistent...

    Halo Headlight/Fog idea

    Headlight LED Halo Hi, I'm going to be opening up the headlights to upgrade the projector for HID's. I figured while I'm in there I would add LED Halo's. Does anyone have any experience with Halo's? Any recommendations on which product to go with?
