I don't think I'll be doing much driving around until the snow goes away to take any video clips

I like the Gen 4s a lot, I was going to get gen 1s originally but then heard complaints about the clear coat peeling and the halos burning out. Figured just go with the clean no halo projectors, retros are too expensive. It'll take some time for you to adjust to a cut off line you'll get from the projector comparing to stock reflector set up. Definitely suggest getting some HIDs for the projectors!!!

i picked these 1st gens for 100$,i do have HID ballasts already,i just need to get H1 bulbs. i dont have HID's in my stock housing (well i did for about a day but i took them out) but i did some searching in the 'appearance' section and didnt get too much feed back as far as pictures or reviews on them. a friend of mine has the same headlights in his balt and they do look good but his balt is down until feb. so i didnt get a chance to see them in person.

guess its a good thing it only lasted 20 minutes here, not sure why but both bulbs blew after 20 minutes of driving, regular bulbs work fine so no blown fuses or anything like that.

I put my battery tender on it and then went to the pool store and bought pool noodles because my mom was afraid she would hit my car since we are putting 3 cars in a 2 car garage.

LOL my dad came out and saw me doing that and he started laughing and was like what are you doing. I just said mom proofing my car. He goes thats why i put the cone in the front for her so she would see where your car is.

I just didnt want to chance it her hitting the door into my car. I no she would be careful but **** happens. Also when people come over the house they all some threw the garage and didnt want them brushing up against the car and scratching it.
