yes/no. the lights only come on when i have the highbeams on. so is that a problem?

wow looks nice man, good work.

just played with the wires so now it comes on with out selecting the high beams and i also fixed the angle of the passenger side light to be level and not so high.

that first picture is really funny, it looks like your brother is killing your car.

I have also a brother that is helping me out.

The result is GREAT!

my brother accidentally got his finger with the grinder a few times. this time he was wearing gloves this time but the sparks caught them on fire a few times.

taco, your car looks very nice. I am seriously thinking about retrofitting my headlights now.

Any advice? did you follow the instructions from here:

i wouldn't have done it with out instructions from someone that had done it before. i had a few printouts all over the garage floor. as far as advice goes, don't let yourself think that it's too hard for you. you just need to set a side a day or two where you won't be driving and just DO IT! one other thing. with that link it shows you how to convert the wires but i didn't have to do any of that since i got a relay harness with my HID kit.
