Everyone else is a tease... why not me?

Here is my shot at teasing everyone.. Let me know what you think. I will get better pictures later, my cell phone doesn't take the best shots in the sun.





lol ignore the lady on the phone in her car... never noticed her while taking the picture, creepy.

nice, have you made your shroud behind the shinny one? Were you still wanting to check out the piece I made? I'll be anxious to see these in person.

...These aren't on eBay... if so show me. You need to look a little closer as to whats done. Yeah the bezels were painted black by ME, not some eBayer. Secondly, look at the main bulb... notice anything different?

Biske, yeah I made my own and sliced my hand Wide open with the alluminum. I wired up the bi-xenon shields and for some reason, i must have crossed the wires because the shields are open when the low beams are on, and when the high beams are on they are not, however I had them on the car any working (aimed them prior to hooking up the high beams)... go figure. Nothing ever turns out right. The cutoff isn't perfect, but I aimed them a little low, the glare spot is like 25 feet from the car and like 2 inches off the ground. It's almost impossible to catch a glare from these things.

Thanks guys. There was a lot of hard work put into these lights, 40 hours +.

I am just slightly disappointed in the aiming, but it's good enough I guess. I don't feel like ripping them back apart again.

Crappy picture of from the front


Here is a different angle... sorry about the glare on the lense. I buffed the crap out of them before I put them back on.

You can either purchase the USB cable if your phone has a usb cord slot. Then just plug it into the computer. Or you can buy an SD Card reader and just hook that up.

I have free picture messaging, so I just message my email account and then save the pictures and reload them on tinypic.com

It does kind of give the car eyes... Hopefully next mod is window tint. Then I am gunna wait until after xmas and do the tails, LEDs on the whole back end. Then springs and wheels maybe, not sure how much I can afford to put into the car right now.

Do you think Eyelids would look good? What's everyones opinion? I was debating it, but I don't want to hide all the work I've done.

I will go pick out some vinyl and if I like it they will stay, if I don't they're gone. If I really like it, I will shoot some nightsides on there so the vinyl doesn't look so obvious

Won't like Autozone carry that? I'm not 100% sure where to get 3m Backed Vinyl.

Where can I get some Vinyl? Walmart? The local auto shops?
