Jetz, do you have any issues lining up the light projection of the fogs? My newly installed driver's side doesn't seem to want to line up with the opening and I can't really get much of a beam.

Can't help you there Clint as I took the lazy way out, and had them installed at Caravaggio. Hope you get it resolved.

Thanks for the kudos Mark!
The 6k upgrade from 4300k was not so dramatic in the ACA's but very worth while. What really popped was the improvement in upgrading to the 6k fogs from my PIAA's. I don't drive with the pop ups in the city as I don't like them for aesthetic reasons.
The PIAAs were very bright compared to the stock headlights, and stock fogs, but now...WOW! 
Lovin' it!

Yes I do. I moved all of my "how to's" to my web site cause they often get deleted here over time..

4300k to 6000k is NOT an upgrade.

It is an upgrade if you don't want your lights to have a little "yellowish" in them. 6000K are much more white, with a really small hint of blue. In my experience anyways (comparing my cars 6000K lights to a guys with 4300K's). I agree that 6000K does not put out quite as many lumens as the 4300K's. Its not a big difference though. I could not see a difference in light output between our cars.

Sounds like you may need to do a little reading regarding high intensity discharge lighting.

Hi Mark bitchin ride you have there for sure.
I have a couple of questions for you???
I too have a 04 ZO6
I like the way you change the black lower door panels to red
with the lower matching dash panels too!!! Did you do it yourself if so
where did you get the vinyl spray dye and how was it applied???
I have been wanting to do the same to mine only in millenium yellow. I would greatly appreciate any info you may have or would share with me.
Thanks Again

Actually the lower red door panels was an option for Z06's. Its called the MOD RED option. If you look hard enough you might be able to find a set around. They often go for $1000 in decent condition though.
I have heard of some people using spray vinyl paint to basically give the same look. I'm not sure how it holds up though over time.
