they have 9007 harness's
Many different projectors/bulbs/ballasts/shrouds

I found a thread by jeffreyss where he has a bunch of oem projectors for sale, I wonder if he stilll has them?

Also I work at a trucking company, they sometimes toss out headlights with projectors in them. I'm thinking of salvaging a set of those and using them.
I just cant afford to buy 800 headlights from maven lol

Pedders have a higher ride height, best perfomance
SSC would be comparable, Canuck motorsports maybe

Nice! Good to hear you are picking up some goodies! Everyone seems to be buying K2 taillights these days. I hope the skyline mod i'm doing to mine works out so I can be different haha. Thank god Smook had a spare set of K2 reverse lights so I didn't have to hack mine up.

I have heard mixed reviews about those 9007s
Half the people love them because they are better than stock but other people find there beam to be to narrow and the light output disdapointing.

I would search for it there is probably quite a bit of info on here!

Ohhh guitarenvy you did a quick ninja edit! Did you happen to stumble upon some pictures of Projekts car in it's current condition?
LOL yea total ninja edit

Do the pedders drop the front at all on a TC? Cant find any specific info on them.
I really just want to get rid of some wheel gap. Handling is still key so dont want to drop it much just a little less gap would be nice. Im gonna look into those Progress ones too though.

I found those pics of Projekt's car on google images, i think i just typed in cobalt ss or something, and ill admit your car has been my laptop background for a while now haha

(havent seen the updated pics either... im guessing its not good by the sound of it!)
