Original housings. I set them off on January 3rd so I have not driven my car since. But it has given me time to install my new Single Pass/ported IM and ZZP Long tube header.

Then IDK if that was you then. Because I'm pretty sure the red SS we seen had HID's in the stock housings? They looked like 10k or higher?

I have to push it or else it wont happen. They need 70 cars signed up and payed by Feb. 20th. I don't expect to see you at the track that weekend but I do expect to see you up there June 11th and 12th for another track day.

I just came across one of his posts in a retro fit thread, he said he bought them off of someone on the site who made them from scratch, SilverSS/SC i think was the name he mentioned. But they are awesome, i may have to go steal them

They wont do you much good right now because they don't work 100%. The cost to remake these would be astrinomical.

Let me know if the single pass makes any difference for you! I'd also be excited to see you're numbers after the long tube install.

The headlights like to play games with me. One second one of them doesn't work so I spend time getting the one side to work then the other side goes out. I think it is the ballast but I am not sure. I have swapped parts around figuring it out but i can't lead to the exact problem. Probably going to have to get someone to help me re retrofit them with new HID's since everything else works.
