Shaitaan, Hope they turn out good. Alittle confused though...help me out if you can. The set of 3 leds is supposed to be like running/parking lights and turn on with the halo, right? The circle furthest from the projector is supposed to be the turn signal, so what is the center circle? The "normal" peanut/parking light in an OEM housing? If so, it may look odd with the halo, 3led set and center circle lights on (when the stalk is set to the first detent before turning on the low beams). I hope you can follow my question and it's not too ambiguous. Thanks.

The center circle is supposed to be for where you'd put your factory city light bulb. I would imagine if you buy a blue bulb from some place such as Auto Zone or the like, that the city light would look good. I currently have APC blue light bulbs in my city light spot and they don't burn a really deep blue like they look, yet more like a sky blue color, which looks very nice with my Hella 9006 bulbs.

I believe so, yes. I couldn't find my damn jack stands, so I'm taking the car over to my buddy's shop so I can use his lift and do everything I need to do at once....but yeah, I think that the light in the middle is supposed to be the normal parking light.

Seeing how the leds/halo turn on, I may just disable it.


(installing new hood struts, checking the bushings/coilovers, checking my brake pads, replacing lights, etc.)

What I thought would be a cool idea is to swap the three blue LED's up top for some amber bulbs and wire them into your turn signals.

OK. here we go......

This was kind of a pain. I ended up going to a shop I work pretty closely with as well to get some help and use some of their tools

any how, here is the before:






and now, the after:








I had to ghetto rig my ballast for now, for the new HID kit






HIDs on

doh..I need white lights for the fogs too.




Bonus shot of my AVIC! =P







Notes:

1. The LEDs and the Halo are always on. It looks great - the LEDs are bright as hell, but the halo is really, really faint. I'll try taking another pic towards the evening. However, i think another LED in that ring would have helped.

2. As expected, the 9006 hid kit didnt fit. We had to dremel off the 3 wings to make them fit. After that, they slid right in.


Overall, I like them. Just wish the halo was brighter. I think I'll probably paint these within the next few weeks as well.


phew.

I think that would help it all look uniform. too bad you cant do it on those since they are glass if that car is 95+
may be wrong...
