Projector Headlights (daytime pics added)
Well guys i got my new headlights in and i took a few night shots, Ill take some better ones later seeing as how its like 30* outsides and i couldnt really get the backing that i wanted to show the cutoff and color band.
Also if anyone is reading this and either has or had HID kits on thier stangs, im having intermittent troubles with mine staying on, on initial start up they will stay on for about 5-10 seconds and one or both will flicker like a strobe light and cutoff. Then i can turn the headlight switch off and then turn the car completely off and back on; most of the time that will solve the problem but it seems like its about 50% solution.
I was researching and it seems as if im gonna need a relay harness to wire straight into the battery.
Problem solved.. Relays and some wire solved my problem.
Halo's and LED's
Cutoff on Trash Bin.
Both and the HID on. (It was kinda hard for me to get a good shot of that for obvious reasons.)

someone correct me if i'm wrong but those projectors are not made for HIDS and your probably going to get some crazy cutoff and light distribution. Also, if those are from ebay you may want to run a bead of silicone around them. I know a few people who had those and they all hazed up and fogged over when they washed the car or when it rained.

they are nice...
i had the other lights where there is an LED strip down the inner portion of the headlight before and needed to replace them, so i went back to the stock lights because of the light output....
on our white cars, have you ever though about smoking out your headlights?...its a helluvuh accent!

Im thinking of taking the upper ones out and getting the cdc black billet grill.. once i get my bumper all fixed back up ill go back to using the lower fogs, but right now im just using the headlights bc the fogs look too yellow.
