Sorry for all the posts in your thread OP. Don't mean to !
Did u have any issues with the female connectors for the H7 bulbs? When I got my unsealed beams from them I was having issues keeping a connection (bad crimping job on my part lol)... so I ended up ordering some high temp resistant, ceramic H7 terminals for like.. $3-5. So now it looks just like the terminals that came stock for the car, but for H7 bulbs. More secure and I have some slack to work with too

Putting HID lights in a reflector housing so you can blind everyone is sooo sweet.

I got 10,000K lows and fog lights. Would never go back to stock!





Oh...and just for the record...I think as long as the source of the lighting doesn't show (just the glow), and it's done tastefully, it's not rice.

LED lighting (red and UV)...






I love this one; especially when people wearing anything white get inside

Nope, no problems! I crimped on wire connectors to the factory power/ground headlight wires, then plugged each wire connector into the terminal on the HID power harness. Then I taped everything up just to be safe.

Nice dude. Gonna have some more visibility with those! I know what you mean though, I love my dark blue headlights, but sometimes I think that if I had gotten white ones I'd see a little better.
