Thats just what my dad always refers to as really small dogs, as "mailbox dogs" IE dogs you could fit into a mailbox...

About time James... LOL

Cant wait to see the end result.If you need extra parts let me know ....I might have some laying around.

If you have projetors behind JDM clear lens, should work fine if they are LHD projectors.

Bruno Sacco did a nice design, but no match for the Q on the road, at least for a healthy Q45. Single cam, 2 valve.

Benz world is of no interest, sorry.

gotta tell u the 560 is a match fir the Q she has the Lungs for open roadalthough i did race my mechanic 0-60 me in the Q him in my 560 and whipped his but 1.5 car lengths - he did not drop it into first - has 2nd gear start ( i just bought a module out of the euro 560 which makes it start in first) And the coup is a mighty classic design - been in the family all 20 yrs of its life.

Hey, they're portable! I have a schnauzer just that size and he's left a little of himself in 13 States now, swum on both beaches in Florida, fits nicely on the rear parcel shelf, the passenger floor, or his third of the back seat on long trips.

He goes everywhere with me - loves to ride. (Oh, and no shedding, either)

Can't wait to see the pics, jamesmost! You have a very nice car - so much work into it.

Can't wait! What projectors did you use?

[jamesmost]

well all installed - projectors fropm am A4 or M3 dont remember e-bay.they look amazing - BUT i think i f**ked up a biti assumed the cut off bar on projectors should be on topbut my beams are 3' off the ground and up ?? wtf did i screw up.

gonna be a hard fix i used hardening permatex and 2 part steel epoxy.\although a grinding wheel on the dremmel did help me smoothe out the hardened epoxy.there is a lever on the cut offs not sure what it does may be adjust for LHD and RHD countries.will snap a few shots tomorrow and post in the evening.front of car looks so awsomely differentand the high beams r like lasers w/o the diffusers

[jamesmost]

ok ok one of our swuppreme admins has my pics, some ggooodd oneswill take some beam shots tonight, i installed upside down beam was 3' off ground and up, fixed now w/ some masterful mods lmk what ya all think

Great forum indeed.They also have alot of info on LEDs.

By the way , if anyone is interested I got another set of Crystal headlights on the Classified section.

Where in japan did you get the headlights? I have been looking on yahoo japan auctions and want to get some but i cant figured out how to read it because its all question marks on my computer. If anyone could let me know it would be greatly appreciated.
