this is a shot with the bixenon low beams on with the halogen high beams on. I do not have the servos hooked up yet for the bixenon shields. Once those are hooked up, the road at night will be lit up like daylight. LOL.

dusk photos for you guys - I wish my not so cheap 6mp digital camera had better low light capabilities. These E36 bixenons start up bright whiteish blue, and then warm up to a bright white color. The camera makes them look a bit yellow, but they aren't really like that.

don't even think about it - I've benefited so much from this forum over the past few years, this is the least I could do. I will PM the admins to see if they can sticky it.
