Just got my new set of hid projector headlights from fedex today, thanks Ironmike. Very easy to put in and wire up, still have to mount up the ballasts but here's a few pics. Dont mind the messed up paint on the grill, thats this weekends project.. Gotta wait till it gets dark to truly appreciate them and of course aim them right, i dont wanna blind anyone lol.

Also i have to pick up some corner bulbs, maybe some silverstars but im not sure just yet.

I like it.
 






you should get some hyper white painted silver bulbs for your corner bulbs. you'll appreciate them better cause they'll match the color of ur hids when lit. i got mine from autolumination.com to match with my hid's. or you can still go with the silverstar ones but they light up orange if thats what you want.

looks great btw
 






be careful with hyperwhite bubls.... it gives reason for cops to pull you over.... as hyperwhite is usually above real white color and tinted
 






oh, in my state they allow white front corner blinkers in addition to amber colored ones....as far as hyper white, i would assume its included, though i have not been pulled over. but then again i guess the cops are leanient here because i have been driving without my front license plate for a good year now since i removed them.
 






Ive looked at all types of bulbs so far for the corners. As far as getting pulled over here in socal, im not really to worried about it. If they are gonna pull me over it will be because of the HID's lol. Maybe an LED conversion for the side marker lights might be a good option. For now they will stay orange though..
 






Anyone know of a place to buy the adjuster assemblies? The main one for the up and down adjustment is pretty loose and i want to get this aimed dead on.

Edit nevermind fastpartnetwork has them all for 20$ per side.
 






Got them aimed up right and re-painted the grill. I love HID's ill never go back to halogens lol. The light thrown from even this 8k kit is very nice compared to the stock lights. Next up is a 5k set of lights.
 






Lookin' good. Can you get some night pictures up? :thumbsup:
