looks great, but are you sure you don't want to wait a few days to let the paint fully dry/cure and prevent fumes from clouding your lens?

Nis this is a test light, It was my old halogen. I just want to see what it looks like before I decide wether or not to do it to my HIDs, not to mention I wanted to make sure I wouldn't screw it uo.

Speak to UMNITZA or HELIOS on the group buy section, they have HID kits that you can use. I bought one from the Group Buy section to convert my H3 fogs to H3 3000K HID fogs


They look amazing and function real well.

Goodluck,

Kam

STICKY covers conversions. you can swap headlight assemblies. Of course you also need the ballasts. the casings are different.

Lookin Sexy.. I might actually do this to my halogen ones, and paint them white... just to have something different.. For now i will help those that want to do this mod and dont have an extra set.. Joe did you use factory paint and use a sprayer? clearcoat? high temp paint? Very important to use such materials, and like they said above, and as i have stated, it is very important to WAIT for curing. I know these are just your "play" pair, but you (might) run into hazing problems. I found using a SWIFTER DUSTER, to dust off the parts, and the undderside of the lense really helped getting off dust and small particles.. after you turns your lights on your will notice the stuff you missed.. even in mine, there is still some small particles on the underside that i missed.. Doesnt hurt the liht or look bad, and when light (HID's) are off you can eve tell they are there.. But, otehr that that bro, lookin great!!! keep it up bro... LAter..
