He will do whatever you want... you pick black or silver, the shroud, any tint, etc.
Doesn't Angelo also do headlights?

sorry for the shitty picture but u can see the passenger side looks a little greener than the drivers side. I have yellow tint over the fogs so i thought that might be the problem so i took out the bulb from the passenger and this is what came out.



As you can see the bulb is pretty green so it wasnt the tint.
I decided to put the stock halogen bulbs on the drivers side to compare it.




At the end i decided to just go back to the halogens for now and do some research on a better light the yellow out put from just the tint is decent but not enought to my liking but it will do for now.




Here's the final outcome. The fogs are a little more yellow in person than in the picture.

Angelo did mine. He did a fantastic job, and shipped them from LA to Toronto.

+1 I had a guy in a Honda behind me today with HID's in his halogen lamps & the glare was blinding me. It is just a total disregard for anyone else on the road so that they can "look cool" instead of doing it the right way with a proper retrofit.

I had never done it before either but it was easy. You can order very high quality projectors from "The Retrofit Source" and do it yourself. Just follow the threads!

There are actually 2 people as Angelo does it too.

Edit - Just noticed that he was mentioned when I got to this page!

Thanks for the input I will do some research on retrofitting or I'll just go back to stock because in my opinion putting HIDs aren't worth spending all that money just to retrofit my lights rather spend it on something else or I'll just try a different halogen bulb. Might gives those Nokya or Piaa halogen bulbs. I appreciate the feed back though. Always good to learn something.

Yeah, those are for the fog lights, then you can use HIRs for the low and high beams!

Retrofitting with projectors is not something you can truly appreciate until you've done it and driven with them. I can't live without my bixenon now haha.
But it also depends, most people don't care about light quality, they just want bright and blue, so they just drop the 6000k+ in there and are satisfied. Something different for everyone!!

So what do you suggest I do without retro fitting.

I have Piaa's in for my 9006 and they are awesome and run at stock wattage and are very bright. I have Nokya 9005's in 7000k blue for my highbeams and they do the trick.

Comparing prices, PIAA and HIR, I'd go for the HIR's.

PIAA are garbage. You are better off with stock OEM. Source: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...?87-Automotive
