Just a few new pics A few guys from NAIOA got together yesterday. Small turnout of WNY guys, but it was fun nonetheless. Anyway, only two of us stayed to get drinks & watch the Sabres (lose....again)....and since he had his dad's SS while his top-swap is underway...my car got all the attention.

Yeah, I know I need to lower it. The struts are shot atm, but I don't have the cash to do the springs at the same time.
I've got the halos on a switch, ghetto-wired @ the glovebox. It's temporary. The co-owner of NAIOA is desiging a circuit for me that will allow me to tap into 12V power @ the battery, but turn off automatically with the car's ignition. He's also putting in a memory circuit so that they remember their last state when the car turns back on. It will also be on a momentary switch, as opposed to a toggle.
I keep forgetting to turn them off after long periods with them on. One good thing is that since they draw so little power, I've managed to leave them on for up to 5 hours and they don't impact the battery at all.

$$$ if you don't have the ability to do them yourself. However atleast you can use some proper HID projectors. Even though the output from the halogen projectors on the Imp lights seems to be pretty good from what I've seen.

I would be doing them myself 
Grabbing Nissan Projectors so I don't have to go BMW bi-xenon. If I do it I'll make both low and hi projectors. Would probably only cost about 100 in parts.

I have an extra set of sensors that can BE installed, but since they don't fit in the valve stem location, they never went in. Considering the geometry of the installed TPMS sensor is much different than when installed in the OE wheel, it would most likely snap off when you roll around.
To get around that, they need to be secured to the center of the wheel with metal pipe strapping and some 3M tape, but I haven't taken the initiative to take the tires off and have this done. I just press the button in the car every time I start it and ignore the message.
