Since I had a base model Z, xenon kits weren't standard. I just put in blue tinted bulbz for the time being because the standard yellow dim ones where to bland. But as of last week I received my HID kit and had them put in today.(6000k)

heres the difference before and after. (hold your laughter.)

Ayfter.



looks like it needs some adjusting no?I can't seem to find the knob which adjusts the angle of the bulb, i have to try later in day light.

nope not yet :D

i might adjust it tomorrow, i was feeling lazy today.

I just replaced my driver side weather strip, that was no fun.

I rushed it, now that rubber lining which is with that part which connects to the rearview mirror is all mismatched and uneven.

Im sure the cops won't pull you over for that. Or if they did you wouldn't get a ticket because they would probably laugh.

My brother had this problem - if you're feeling adventurous you can turn them on while you are adjusting them in the housing to see how they look

Did you buy a good HID kit? I've see this happen with some of the cheap ones - the bulbs aren't the right fit and they don't sit properly...

Yeah I got it off ebay, its a respectable company though 100% positive feedback. The thing is when I first replaced my bulbs the first time with blue tinted ones, this is how they came out, except less dim since they weren't real HID's. After some adjustment they looked normal and spread out more even. Thing is I just don't know why every time I throw a new pair of illumination in the headlights they always come out like ghost fish..crystal things. Now these ones have to get adjusted properly so they can illuminate past 10 inches of whatever is infront of me.

womp womp womp.
