I saw this a week ago and I was gonna vote for you, but you didn't have enough stickers, and IDK how you are making 325HP seems like to me you would need waaaaay more stickers than that

How do you like your 55W hid fogs? I was thinking about it. Do you have any problems with heat in the housing?

Only problem I've had was getting the bulb to sit right, but after a simple PM to Mike, I realized all I needed to do was flip the rubber gasket.

I'm still having trouble with my fog lights, for some reason the connection from the ballast to the bulb isn't stable. I'm probably going to try and figure out a way to secure it better.

Keep it fun and reliable man, whatever path that may take you down. This is definitely one of the most unique and clean victory red's i've ever seen, and its hard to stand out with a VR car. You're doing an amazing job.

I should get some photography tips from you! great shots! you've definately got a talent!

What kind of setup do you have? I bought a Canon Rebel T3i, some lenses and a nice tripod. trying to get into car photography a bit here. Do the photos come out that nicely naturally? or is there some photoshop work involved? any tips would be greatly appreciated!

again pretty impressive! so the fogs just shine like that or did you have to move the camera a bit to get the desired effect? you shooting in manual/raw mode? what settings seem to work the best if you don't mind me asking? i'm new to photography and am just learing about ISO, shutter speed, etc.

i'm guessing the place you take the picture and the lighting has alot to do with how it turns out in the end? you shooting freehand or using a tripod to ensure clarity of the image?
