C5R's installed!
hey guys
finally got a pic of the C5R lights installed...overall, the kit quality as we all know is poor...but u know what, the end result is fantastic. the kit took me about 20 hrs to completely install...i had to modify the buckets to fit my HID kit in there... the passenger side lines up almost perfectly, but the driver side requires still more work... the covers will be painted black in a week or soo...waitin for painter.
soo...overall, with proper aiming, and the HID kit, these lights are gorgeous!!! i love them, worth the 20 hrs installing them!
and for those who are wondering...no, i haven't gotten flashed by on-coming traffic! LOL
any questions, give a holler!

thanks guys!
the kit is a Specter Werks kit. the stock bulbs in the housing were aboslute crap...but using the HID kit, the lighting is unbelieveable!!! there is a very sharp cutoff. the beam pattern is a nice spread as well...keep in mind, my HIDs have only about 5hrs on them...give them more time, and they will break in and really light up the road!
thanks again boys!

Any way to put a spacer in the pack of the lights to make them flush with the hood. Looks like at least 0.25" gap. Try thick washers or something if you can adjust the internal lights irrespetive of the housing angle.
