Re: Retro HIDs Completed
They are sweet looking. But are the signals yellow? does it not cause any troubles?
My personal preference is for separate high beams (4 lenses), but these look good.

Got a little excited, so I posted. I'll have pics up when the car comes out of paint in two weeks. New fogs and matte black paint on the roof, and matte clear respray on the carbon fiber hood and trunk.

Re: Retro HIDs Completed
Haha! They're stock amber. Turn signals look yellow to me also. Woof! Must be the lighting / camera settings. I was going to leave the shrouds chrome, but it didn't pop for me. Looked too stock. I've seen a few with the reflectors blacked out and chrome shrouds, but I wasn't a fan of that look. I decided to go for the JDM look with a little attitude. I'm happy.

$300.00 even, for all labor. Additional costs were for parts. Free paint.
