    Give me a light show

    That's right, let me see those front ends lit up.

    I finally got fogs installed, not too long ago, and got my angel eyes working. I was going for an amber look, with the fogs and ae's. Then, I switched bumpers, and ultimately fogs. Now, I'm having a hard time finding 9006 bulbs in the yellow that i want. Let me see what you got, and how it looks....

    I just picked up a second set of Hella lights to practice rebuilding, so i thought i would start from there. So now, I'll need the whole she-bang; D2S, H7, 9006 and ae's.

    DJAuto/Helix reproduction lenses on factory Hella housings. eBay "COB" (chip on board) ~6000K LED angel eyes. Morimoto D2S bulbs in EvoX-R 2.0 (replica) projectors at 4300K w/ stock Hella 35W ballasts. Stock fog lights.

    Nighttime output is epic. I'll grab a photo tonight.

    Nice set ups, gents. Three hours later, I just finished replacing the adjusters, in one headlamp. What a job.

    Low beams + angel eyes:

    Angel eyes by themselves. Much clearer in person; less glare.

    Low beams.

    Here where I am for now...

    20180613_201524~2.jpg

    Currently running 8000k lo's and probably 4300k hi's. In the market for 2500k fogs and 5000k hi's and lo's. Not sure if I want to keep the amber ae's, or match them to the headlights.

    On another note.... I need the get another set of kidney grills and do something about the missing paint on the nose of the hood.

    Why should there be? They're inefficient and dim. Price is the only thing in their favor.
