finally HID

finally hooked up my HID kit i got from Redphoenix, well part of it anyways. its actually a retro with projectors but i installed the kit on my depo housings first to see how it looked. little spread out and bright IMO but just more motivation to install the projectors i guess. anyways just thought id share.

no fakes, i bought them off redphoenix when he parted out his camry. i dont like the way they are now much. i had to point the headlight all the way down so i dont blind people and as u can see in the pic the bulk of the light is to close in to be of much use. but thats what the projectors are for

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

well the retro is done using the stock or the depo clear headlights. it wouldnt be worth it IMO using the OEM factory headlights. and i wouldnt recomend rigging the HIDs into the factory housing with out the projector retro, to bright and scattered.
