I just recently went back to the stk look for the HID's. Hella's would've been nice but were too big for my comfort. Nice work there building it yourself...



Were the lights used for your headlights designed to be headlights? Or were they still considered a fog/driving light? I really like how that looks with the correct plastic around it and everything but I don't want to use driving lights.

Personally I don't like the round light in the square hole, but that's just me. I commend the strive to be different look though. I'm always afraid I look like everyone else.

1bdbrd they're actually fog lights...hence the reason I switched back. Initially it didn't bother me but other drivers...ha-ha that was the annoying factor. I don't drive the car at night esp in the wet for that very reason as they weren't the greatest and more of a show look. VA state troopers use to give me hell though when I was there. Now that I'm returning back to the US I need some real lights in there at night for meets, cruises, etc. I still have my lights but I doubt I'll use them again...the quad lights I ditched altogether for the FMIC. They are a lot cheaper now then what I paid for them that's for sure.

Damn I was hoping they were actual headlights. I try to be kind to other drivers on the road so I refuse to go the way of driving/fog lights. At this point its down to either Silverstars (had them in 3 vehicles and loved all 3 of them) or an HID conversion from the LEDGauges sponsor on here. I'm just not sure how good their kit will be for other drivers.
