the headlamps are philips 6000k with a retrofit, the ones done by tiguy99 in the pimp my sc300 thread.

the foglights are a plug and play philips kit i got off xenondepot.com, they are the philips 3000k hid bulbs.

*edit - to put these hid bulbs into the fogs, you have to modify a little bit. The bonnet or cover over the original bulb is not large enough to encompass the bulb by just a couple millimeters, close tight fit but just wouldn't work. What I did was open up the fogs and made a hole large enough for the bulb to fit through. The only portion of the bulb that won't fully fit is the return wire from the actual bulb itself, so not much drilling away is needed.

Much better Anthony. I like that front fender. Not too much and it adds a nice touch.

The fender fittment is definately off a bit, but it is nice to see something with a little change from the norm. With better fittment I'd probably feel better than lukewarm. I still like it though .


EDIT: incase the fender is not off, could it be the rubber strip that goes around the headlight making it look like that?

May I ask why you are running vertex wide fenders ?

Love those HID fogs.

hey thanks guys,

Neo is right, the kit is authentic vertex with HRe 547Rs.

OLT, the fender isn't off, it's that lil rubber thingie that goes around the headlights, sort of a tight fit so sometimes it pops out even if i shove it back in. Fender actually lines up well with the hood.

Turboteg, i opted to go with the vertex fenders because i noticed they were for sale by autocouturesc and i thought it would add a nice little touch. Now originally, the offset i have is so that it would be flush with a shaved front fender. With these fenders, I feel it does just fine. I like how the front sticks in a little more because, like the regular fenders, they're is that portion that is normally shaved. With these, I don't have to shave that part and it gives a little more clearance when turnin hard.
