I don't have any of them off of the car. I had to cut a LOT! Post up a pic and I'll show you how much you have to cut.

Pretty anything that goes around the actually clear portion gets chopped up lol.

Thumbs up with hids, use a jdm capsule(yellow)

When I was doing my fogs, I swaped the retainer capsule with jdm ones that a friend gave me. The HID s I got were 4500k 35 watt tho so white, I would prefer a 55 watt, so they can get most of the yellow out. My friend said that its because I need proyectors,but thats another story. Hope I helped.

theyre out of an es300 . I have an extra set if you need the usual homie hookup! . i didnt have to cut more than 3 mms. I cut lots just for symmetry . I was considering grinding them into circles but said screw it lol. if you want i can send them precut/dremelled. Id upload back pictures but im waiting for hids so i can drill holes before i seal them and install them.

Hmm...I'm debating on doing this or just saying "screw it" and go with some blazers. The blazers aren't that expensive from TRS. I think it's forty five for the pair

ok steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve! i need your personal/professional opinion! for 45+ 35 for a cheap hid kit, I can get some blazers and plug them into my high beams as a retrofit instead of these monster J30s I've been working on


only problem is ive already spent 20 bucks trimming the j30s...but ehhh wth. cant win them all. if i retrofit with the blazers ill have a better chrome finish on the bottom as i can keep the original back shield AND the bottom shield thats attached to the lens.

lmk if you think i should spring for the blazer setup or continue with this project










distant shot of projector (semi-blue)





or go with the blazers?

what im also thinking is........ I can speak with the hid seller DIRECTLY and purchase 880 bulbs for the blazers but have him send wiring for a 9005 ballast connector so i can keep factory clips for my high beams?

thoughts?S?!?!?!??!?!
