I remember Brians Auto in Rowland height? I think that's where they were. But he was the one who made the wheels for makaveli so look for that shop. I was there years ago designing wheels for my 64 impala lol. But he moved since then. I hope you can find caps cause your wheels are PIMP!

I am really trying not to do a Q45 retro, I want to use some other projector, but how can you when the Q45's look so damn good. It's like they were made to go into our housings. Turned out great, what bulbs are you using in it? They are throwing off a greenish tint.

Love the outcome of your diy. I may attempt this soon.

Question: if the HL has oem self-leveling, is it the same procedure? Is it the same parts from LM?

Thx for sharing the info.

Looks great. How happy are you with the quality of the Eagle brand? Its quite a bit cheaper than the ones made by Depo.
