Forgot to mention if any of you guys want after this gb is done im going to order a bunch of chrome bulbs for those who are interested just to finish these off let me know. also for the dude at lightwerkz whos knocking my work some of the pictures might be featured on another website soon to show off some of the work thats being done so ill keep you posted on that. also with the seals im trying to keep them as clean as i can some are comming out better then others it all depends on how hard yours are together (based on how many miles are on your car) as the newer ones come apart fairly easy. so bare with me guys if the seal isnt oem ill get it as close to that as i can. here are some pics hid whern't on in the pics its from the flash

these are nice! If I wanted OEM look, I'd definitely go with that setup! great work! chrome bulbs for the turn signal would look awesome!

Hey Mehdi in the first post you can put down "got his" (Toomas Aasa, why no screen name for me?).

No installed pics yet because there have been some technical difficulties. Brandon, being the excellent service provider he is, has the solution in action. My lights will by up and running early in the week (with lots of pictures).

ok guys so hangtime left not to long ago with his lights, did the instal for him free of charge of course (one of the perks of being local) however i did send him to canadian tire to pick up clear led for his parking lights so he will be getting pics up when he gets home. he originally want ironman led but we both decided that the cleared out look was alot better looking so to make it up to him im ordering him chrome bulbs for the signal that should be in by the end of the week. Also with estonian set up one of the bulbs had a crack in i guess from shipping that we didnt notice until we tried to fire them up but i got him another pair and over nighted him the bulbs even though hes only 2 hours away (damn gas prices lol) and also sent him another inverter. mr nico got his lights all the way out in the city of angels, yet we had another fed ex problem with one of the angel eyes being knocked loose. its the second time ive had a fed ex problem, first one was a broken light and a dented box from fed ex that was wrapped up really well and now the angel eye thing. so guys ship ups or something else just not fedex as they seem to be playing football with your lights. one last thing where trying to get all the lights done before the new year hopefully well before that but thats the worst case as im doing 5 in 4 days at the moment

alright, so like Brandon said, I just got my lights installed, then got a couple of white LEDs to replace the standard amber halogen parking lights, and it looks sick! It's gonna look even better when the chrome turn signals come in and everything in the housing is one colour.

I really gotta say, big thanks to Brandon for doing the install for me free of charge, as I really would have no idea how to do this on my own, or would be too scared to do it on my own! I'm really glad that I'm local and can easily drive over to Brandon's to get this done. Once again, thanks Brandon!

I took some pics throughout the process, here goes -

Before heading over, with the headlights out (looks kinda like a skeleton, doesn't it? maybe shoulda left it like this until Halloween hehe) :

Next, at Brandon's, mid-install:

Mid-install, with the lights on:

Install done! And with the parking lights and angel eyes on:

Back at my place, after the sun went down:

Sorry if some of the night shots didn't turn out so great, it's kinda hard to really capture the effect of the lights at night, I don't have a DSLR so gotta live with the point and shoot quality..

i think its either dirt on the lens or it could be just a shadow from the camera as there wasnt any deadspots in person and for there to be a spot there would mean something was either on the lens blocking the light output or a piece of the projector isnt there since you can see the halo underneath the deadspot and to the sides of it.

I'll have to take a look at it again tonight when it gets dark...I didn't notice that either before, but it may just be dirt on the headlight, as brandon said.

i just got my chrome turn signal bulbs in today, but theyre too damn hard to put in without taking the headlight out, so im just going to wait til i get my projectors to install them since it will be a snap to put them in with the headlights in my hands...lol

darn....and i was hoping to sport the chrome amber bulbs before i got my projectors. guess ill have to wait a month or 2 before putting them in.

It is hard to change out the bulbs form the top but I'm sure you can get it from the bottom. Just pull away the fender wells...
