just wait till you break in those HID's ryan, they'll look as blue as mine


Great job on the install...easier than you thought huh?
Thanks, Tony

Hard is not the right word...I would say time consuming, and patience are more definitions of what it takes to perform this mod. I spent all weekend completing this, and with me being the perfectionist that I am, I was not only careful, but as you can see, I was innovative as well- Hence my decision to Dremel off the OEM height levelers, and fit them onto the retrofit kit that I bought from Jesse.

It took a lot of hours... But well worth it, because of the results Sealing off the back of the headlights from moisture will probably require more of what I did. I am still contemplating how to fabricate a rubber seal for that...HMMMMMMMM.... Gotta figure this one.

Tony, thanks for the tip on how to separate the headlights...

Always modding...

Great work Ryan.Glad it worked out.. You may what to use a E46 bmw boot to cover the back of the light.will post a pic of what I'm talking about.

Saw how you mounted the ballast. Can you take a picture of the cutoff beam afew more feet away.

Here is how indypwr's lights came out.
That's two SC cars with my kits.
Thanks again Ryan.

yup, thats me..........hahaha
nice job, man.....which bulb are you using right now? i was using the #85122+ before which gave me
a nice bright white/blue tint and no i switched to #85123 which gives me a more purple/white tint now.

i finally saw how my hid's looked like from far like about 2-3 blocks. from far, you can definitely tell the
purple hue and turns real white as the car approches.
