I can see !!!!

I recently installed the projector headlights on my 00 and of course was unable to see anything on the road (I know, I know... no flaming necessary). So I came up with a solution (cheaper than HIDs), aim the highs down a little and make all four come on at the same time. It actually allows a reasonable amount of visibility and it was damn near free

Lights:


Halos:


Low Beams:


High Beams (All On):


Woo-Hoo!!!

Won't you get flashed all the time even if they are aimed down? And the GB for Helios/Proumen HIDs are really cheap right now in the GB forum.

Two 10mm bolts, wire the Halos to the Park Lights, Plug in the two harnesses, put bolts back in.......... Took 20 minutes to install both.

Not in Texas... I'm a state inspector here. High Beams must be present and operable but there is no standard for their "aim"

Take the ground from the low beam and ground it to the chasis.

Then you'd have a bag full of dimes. But come on stocked out, this thread is over 3 yrs old, don't you think a pm would have worked better?
