3rd gens + ddmtuning 5k hids and anti glare mod ***night pics added*** 3/22/09

I only got one pic for now its too bright. but i got it all wired up and whatnot. I'll be snapping pics tonights of the halos and hids together. for reference i got my hids from ddmtuning.com 84 shipped 5k 35w hids with slim ballasts and lifetime warranty. install was a breeze once i figured how easy it was.

here's a pic of the 3rd gens in daylight on my car

the third gens are the way to go. I've had mine i think for almost a year and haven't had any issues with them. I also have the 3Bspec anti-glare mod and the 3Bspec 5K hids. I love them.

It may have just popped out, I think it was the third gens that had that problem.

They are sweet. The cut-off is beautiful too. my 3rd gens were the first ones that 3B did the anti-glare mod to. it was actually done by me and Pat in his driveway. If you look in his advertisement banner those 3rd gens in the pic are mine.

yea i did mine, by myself. I used silicone, i may need to go do it again, cuz the spots are still there lightly. They're not nearly as vivid as they used to be though.
