Looks nice . . . any chance you could list out the parts you used? I know some other threads have various links (many of which aren't working anymore). Thanks.

GCTJ, Let me connect with the owner of the shop. I'm not too sure if his products are sold online. Their may be other distributers, but I will have to do some digging. Stay tuned.

GCTJ, I talked to the owner of the local shop today, and unfortunately there is no where online that these parts can be purchased from. Sorry man. If you lived in CA, I'd give you directions to his shop, but I know flying out for HID's is not an option.

Rover: Yes, that is where I took my car.

For the few that subscribed to this thread, I wanted to post a recent pic to show you what I've added since my last post. I got an LED strip installed, as well as 194 LED bulbs to replace that annoying amber bulb. It will probably be easier to see the upgrades on the passenger side, as the sun was beaming on the drivers side.

Update: Never get an LED strip installed on the outside of your headlights. Looks good for 6 months or so, but the bulbs will eventually burn out. Lesson learned.

DRL HID is a no no for me, way too much glare due to non projector housing, kind scary to blind someone incoming opposite traffic, imagine a big flashlight pointing at your face, I have 6000k LED bulb instead.

Hey vince: It shouldn't be too blinding during the day right? I only have them on during the day. At night I'm sure I can blind anyone in my path.
