Default Finally they match!

Eh nothing big but I'm happy with it.


Before.....









After.....















I liked the stock lights and I definitely hate the bright blue HID lights but these came in perfect. They are a pain in the *** to change out unless you remove your wheels but I didn't want to deal with jacking up the car and pulling them off so I made do with what I had.


I'm happy with the result. I'll try to take some night pics to see how they look and see if they overpower the turn signals.



Also yes I know the bumper isn't lined up right... it also has a hole in the front of it... long story.

Look good and the DRL are a pain in the butt to change but the look is well worth it.

Camera doesn't capture it the best in the daytime. It's pretty hard to get any decent pictures of HID headlights even with a great camera. But I did come up with this...

Stock HID lights are pretty yellow tinted which isn't bad but didn't match well with the DRLs I had. They blend almost perfectly now during the day... as for the night I'm about to take some more pictures in a few.

Stock high beams.. they're a little more yellow than the stock low beams but not by too much.

If that's your car wash mitt laying on the driveway (in the last pic) realize the 'wash & wax' guys are going into cardiac arrest.

I'm happy with the OEM lights but good job on the mod....enjoy!

Nope. I actually have to use my fogs and HID fogs are pretty much worthless. The light gets scattered too much and makes it harder to see.

It is but it's an old one. It was used to wipe down the kitchen ceiling light so I already had a new one to go... it happened to be in the bucket from before.
