my new car!!!

just wanted to share my new baby with all of you! ill have more pics later. i am gonna miss my my boosted SOHC though! :-(

already got the hids installed. i know i should do a retrofit but the cutoff is pretty good with stock head lights. the pic doesnt do it justice.

yeah they are bright lol. i havent been hi beamed yet lol. i think the cut off for the lights is decent (not the greatest but decent). you have to see it person to really judge it. it really sets the car off. the stock halogens are garbage!

Yeah, I too have the HIDs installed in the OEM housing and I found the cutoff to be pretty decent. Also, I had my brother drive in front of me and he said that they lights don't give out too much glare.

Obviously they won't be as nice as projectors, but for the price it's good enough.
