Default Custom Headlights? post your pics.

Just want to see what everyone else is doing, Heres mine, ACA Housings custom retrofitted from Total Vision Concepts, there Night Stalker 2 kit with custom fitted mini H1 bixenon projectors, 35watt Morimoto ballasts, 6k bulbs, and custom halo ring setup. Light outputs great, love them.

Whats everyone else running? Thought about switching to a D2S setup but not sure its worth the extra money.

Technically yes, that is a more specific model. There was an "A" and a "C" but I preferred the general nomenclature. My 97 vette had A-12.

Which switchback lights are those? Mine are all clear like your first pic but when I hit the turn signal it goes amber. I would like mine to be amber/white just like that or were you turning and had the blinker on and he caught it at the right time? I see the other side is white
