The only reason cops will pull you over around here is if they're too blue; they consider that to be impersonation of a police vehicle

Man thats cheap. If I did the 9006--->9005 mod, when I get the HID kit I should go back to using the 9006 right? Are there any problems with making these kits work on the 96? I just realized the conversion is nothing more than some new bulbs with an in-line amplifier harness deal. Pretty cool stuff. Sup Ben.

Hey GATO, could you post up a pic of your headlights shining on a wall so that we can see the cutoff line? I am thinking of ordering one of these kits for myself...

nice mod, looks good. Are you taking pics with those babies on high, they look bright as ****.

One more question, where did you get that front grill? I've been trying to chrome out my front grill forever. You didnt get those chrome strips that stick on did you?

i just gotta say that.. i highly advise against Kit's..... they're not worth your money. I personally have a 92 es and got the 4100k kit 2 years ago. I've sold it since then and retroed audi a4 projectors into them.

your light spread is may look great but once u see the OEM u'll never go back.OEM is even wide and sharper. Not to mention the glare you push into other drivers' faces. If you go into an emtpy parking garage you'll see light all over the place , the upper walls, ceiling... everywhere. tiguy99 can help me out....
