Post Your VETTE-HID Pics
I have had my VETTE-HID's on my 2000 FRC for a couple months now and I love them. I bought them from NOT-MEE. I've noticed a distinct LACK of pictures of these lights. And we all know that most threads about cosmetic changes to our cars are worthless without pics - so I'm starting this thread by posting 33 pictures of my VETTE-HIDs.
I took four types of pictures:
1) With HID lights off
2) With HID low beams on
3) With HID high & low beams on
4) With HID low beams and PIAA 1100X's on (to show the difference in whiteness between the two - for those of you who have PIAA's and might be wondering).
Enjoy!
BTW - I took 120 pictures, but picked out these 33 cause I thought they were the best. I have them in much higher resolution if anyone wants to see something in greater detail - just ask and I'll email.

Sweet thanks for the post, I am really close to ordering these, the stock stuff if just so bad even with PIAA bulbs. Can you take a couple of pics with the lights out on the roadway showing the light pattern? $1k is a lot to drop for better lighting, hoping it is A LOT better.
Thanks

Damn - that was a LOT of pictures.
Anyone considering this mod - be aware, VERY AWARE, that the difference between Brian's (Not-Mee's) HID and the 'competition' is not a fair comparison.
Brian's are just better - plain and simple.
Like BarneePhife pictures at night shows, these lights are a necessity for any Vette driving at night. My S/O (and myself) are convinced that these lights make driving in the black of night a LOT more safe - we can actually 'see' now what is ahead versus the poor quality and light output of the OEM's.
For those skittish over the price - ask a few Forum members that have had damage to their Vettes (like those hitting a deer at night) what they would have spent to avoid those situations
Being a poor ol country boy, I can afford to take only two (2) pictures
Here they are.
