Retrofit pics.... as promised
Install was ok... I had some technical wiring issues, such as where the heck to put the relays and wiring so that the harness didn't interfere with the RAW intake when I put it on. (I hate making harnesses!)
There was also the feat of having to make a weather shield for the passenger side of the car to protect the ballasts from any direct splashing.
Oh... a one thing that a lot of 'how to' guides don't tell you; go look at an assortment of glad-ware when you plan to seal up the back.... I ended up cutting out part of the old seal, and seal-all'ed it to a modified glad-ware container. It's been pretty minty so far... I have yet to wash the car though.

looks great, i am currently doing a retrofit also. and i just realized i have no idea how i am going to seal it back up again. but you answered my question already. im gonna ask anomlous and see what he used to seal it
Damn , not quite sure how I missed this one . Sweet job man , the ccfl tubes look good the way u did them . Possibly the only other set outside of a BMW that I think looks sweet .


A 3" rubber cap fits the hole too . All you have to do is dremel the inside just a bit so the cap fits snugly in the circular slot . The 3" rubber endcap is in with the plumbing stuff at harware stores where all the pvc and abs piping and fittings are .
