If you need any help PM me bro.

These are what i had prior to my q's in both my heads and fogs. I didn't want to have to buy new hid's or ballast so i just had him retro fit them it, they looks great at night..

By the way guys Thanx for the well wishes for my father. He's out the hospital and doing a little better, but its a fight with cancer that is very hard for him. He keeps getting infections.right now he is cancer free and infection free, so we hope it doesn't come back as it has 2 times already before.

I'm sorry I didn't take any night shots and I don't have my car. so many things are happening at the same time that I forgot to take night shots before taking them back off to repaint my front bumper. All the circles light up great and full. all I have are these 2 shots with them on, one is a day shot and one is from the track but its far away and blurry..sorry. Until I get everything back on in a couple weeks I won't have any way of showing you guys what I mean.
