Also my new bright white headlights and foglights.. They really make a difference from the stock yellowish kinda of lights..

As for the tint.. I decided to do 20% all around. I didn't want 5% on my back windows cause its way to dark.. And I didn't want to do 35% on the front and 20% on the back cause I wanted my tint to all match.. But I didn't want to go to light.. I think the 20% is really nice.. I think it also sets off the yellow more as well..

There is also a 5% window shield banner on my front window.. Might be hard to see.. Not to sure if it's noticeable enough in the pictures.. But it's nice..



Comments welcome...

Headlights - You have to take 2 bolts out from the top, then you have to take out the push pins in the grill.. Then you have to kind of wiggle the light out of the front.. It's kind of a pain in the butt, but once you get use to it. It is easy.. Just becareful and when you put them back in.. You have to make sure the part that goes into the fender goes in first.. It's kind of a PITA but like I said.. You will get the hang of it..

Foglights - you have to take a couple of the bolts out from the wheel liner out... I took 5 of them out (but later when my buddy did his, he only took 2 out after learning from me)... And just reach your hand up in there and twist the bulb out..

They are both kind of PITA's but they are easy.. It's just not very convient if you have to change a bulb on the side of the road.. It takes longer to get at the bulb, then the acutally changing of the bulbs itself...

Hope this helps... 9007 for the headlights and H11 for the foglights.

car looks good.

what kind of lights are they (brand)? and can you really tell a diff. b/c the bright white silverstars look almost the same as stock.

Headlights made by Lite Glow and they are Xenon White.. They are 4000K colour temp.

Foglights are made by LiteCH/HID - Has lots of chinese writing on the package. They are also Xenon Charged as well. It's all in chinese writing bascially.. But it says 60/55watts and 130/100 watts (that is probably what they are suppose to appear like)


Do they make a difference.. Yea a big difference.. If you install one of the lights and look at them. The stock ones have more of a yellow tint in them while these ones are more of a crystal clear.. The foglights are brighter.. But the headlights are so bright I can't tell these are on since the stock ones were more yellow so you could see the difference.. But they are brighter. Cause I turn my headlights off and you can tell..

If it is dark enough at the meet were having (like if I am still with some of the guys later in the night) I will try to get a picture of the difference.. If not then sorry.. I will try to get betters pics of them shining on something and you can see how bright they are..
