Take your time when doing it. That is the number one thing to remember.

This particular setup can run 500-550. There are cheaper options but they will not perform like this setup.

Is that with the new set of R34 headlights? Would you consider selling a similar setup shipped to me in Hawaii for $600? Let me know

Well since you have newer housings, it would be less for you. All you have to do is snd me your housings and that would cut 150 off the price.

These are for me, for the record

Great job, kzoosho, I look forward to putting them on the car later this week maybe I only wish I'd had the money for some clear lenses. Oh well, maybe I'll have to ship them back to you in the spring to put a set in!
