still looks great tho, one is better than none. Ive also always enjoyed the look of your car mastere, gold/black ftw. If I ever get another 4th gen (which is likely in the future) I want a pebble beige with a black leather interior, 5spd, and then do the carbon fiber hood, trunk, and lip kit

Thanks for the feedback man. I like ur car too, I like that sleeper look. Unfortunately I don't have the black leather interior but I recently got lucky at the junkyard and got myself the full woodgrain kit.

Looks good, considering crappy cel phone pics. Replace with some nice high-res quality pics!

At first glance, they look like S2K's.

VERY nice retro with an awesome output. Cutoff looks really good.
FYI, when you raise the drivers side, you will need to raise the passengers side as well to try and get the cutoff in the middle aligned together as close as possible.

Well I spent a good few hours reading through HIDplanet.com. MY head is spinning. I think I want to do this, and I can handle the electronics park, like a walk in the park, but I am so confused about what lamps to pick and such. Also, how much do these things cost? My stock housings are shot, what replacement housings to you recommend?
Isn't the edges of the reflection supposed to be blue? Why are yours yellow? Is that because of the 6000k?
HIDplanet recommends 4300k, and I understand why.

If you still have questions, you need to go back and read more. HID planet has a whole thread about different kinds of projectors and details about them.

Disagree. It's a matter of preference, but I like just two levels of cutoff (i.e. lights aimed identically) as opposed to low-mid-high left to right.

Looks great...other than this dark spot on the left; any ideas what might have caused that? Also, these must be the fresnel lens valeos....

yup, fresnel valeo projectors were used for this setup. Im not exactly sure what could be causing that dark spot on the very corner possibly the shroud getting in the way of the output?
