Who has HIDs and eyebrows???

I have a D2R HID kit with the ground pole of the bulb in the 6 oclock position, and my light output was soooo nice. Now that I put on my prototype CF eyebrows, I lost a lot of light because most light came from the top half. Is there anyway I can turn the bulb to get better output? Oh and are your eyebrows the same hieght, meaning is mine too thick on the headlight. Can I see how pics of your looks like. Anyone got sarona ones?

This a pic of the eyebrow and HID.






Thanks,
MAXecutive

Have you considered the orientation of the HID arc? and how rotating it would affect it? Ground electrode down is the the best you could hope for.

will putting the ground electrode to the top help bring light to the bottom half of the headlight housing?

i agree 100%, but then again thats how i feel about CF hoods and trunks on non-black cars, but for some reason its okay in the "aftermarket" styling community to have an ugly two toned car, lol.....and i have smoked cefiros on my black max now......i NEED to know where u got the CF brow? PLZ??

No they don't. Your eyebrows look crooked as hell, did you just cut them out of that CF looking tape? That's what they looks like. They are supposed to get narrower as they go towards the fenders not how you have them.

IRISHMAX99, your sig is too damn big, too much dead space.

I like them a lot. Looks better than the ones from custommaxima. But please, get rid of that red Nissan emblem.

BTW, I don't think I've ever heard Dave sZ say anything positive on here.

For Cefiros? Never seen any production ones. I made mine out of fiberglass and glass-bondo. Looks a little better than carbon fiber tape. LOL, kinda clever though.

Im running standard bulbs and I don't know if HID is much different, but, I didn't notice a differnce in light projection. I guess mine might be a little slimmer.

Listen to me, the eyebrows I ordered in CF since May 2004, but they made them on a cefiro headlight, therefore it does not fit right on the maxima headlight, the curves are way off and its an inch short each side. so i used electrical tape to continue the eyebrow, lol. but yes they are REAL CARBON FIBER EYEBROWS. I am still waiting for another set to be made. So I had to force and bend the eyebrow to sit on the headlight, thats why it looks twisted, but i dont mind cuz im the first one with real CF eyebrows...

and the red nissan symbol is there only cuz everything is red under the hood and the calipers are red also

i think paradoxsystems.com has eyebrows for the cefiros. i made mine out from a GTS cover. I cut them to shape and taped them on with 3M double-sided tape. Mine are body colored though.

i dont like dave, all he has to say is negative things, and here he will come with some smart a$$ remark. keep that crap to yourself. if you would have read the first post my MAXecutive, you would have noticed he asked a question, not your opinion. i gave a compliment cause i know him, you just attack people.
