I did have pictures up for a minute, but they were so under exposed you could barely see them. I am about to go take some new pictures! I am also debating putting eyelids back on. They really streamlined the car when I had them on.

I just got back from taking pictures of the output. These came out 100x better.

They will be up in a moment when I choose the best ones to show.

Let me start off by saying it was almost impossible to find a completely dark area to take pictures. Most of these are in dimly lit enviroments.

First shot

Some awesome Blue/Purple/Turquoise Cutoff color!

A blury shot of what I see.

wow, that's a long time. looks like it was well worth it though. my girl's brother just got a cobalt SS and said he would pay up to $600 for a set like yours. don't know if he was serious or not though.

I hate to point this out since everything else looks so good...but is the left beam slightly rotated clockwise? The leftside of the left beam should be flat and not flare up.
