Drivers side low beam went yesterday morning. Replaced it. But I found those sealed beam conversions and now I'm really interested.. Oh we'll for now this is what I've got

Edit: also got both sides aimed ( they were pretty off to the side of the road)

Haven't updated this in a while. My
eBay HID kit came in the mail today should start to work on them Monday. M6 swap should be taking place soon still talking to a few shops and trying who to send it out to. Also want to get my calipers sent off to Darren for some PC. That's about it. Will post up some pictures of the HIDS when they're finished.

Well, i finally got them in. after i discovered that the cheap eBay gasket that comes on the HID is actually too thick for them to seat properly and lock in. so i took the gasket from the stock bulbs and put them on the HIDS. one bummer is my dad did some experimenting or whatever with one of the bulbs and didnt know you cannot touch them .. so i figured i'd throw it in there anyway. and it burnt out instantly.



Video.


P.S Yes i know my DRL is out. its just out of the socket right now.


Pictures while they were still "burning in" and were very very green.



starting to yellow out but still pretty green ( night shots only 1 still)

Also got an LS1 rad support and OEM lid from Brent. Looking for a used SLP lid for the future but the OEM lid is much better than the 90 degree bend I had before.

Depends what kind of racing youre doing... a stalled auto on a road course is about as useful as a massey ferguson.

Was that SRT-4 comment a poke at me?

If you get the SLP lid, I'll need that large clamp!
