Nice! Im having a issue with mine. the light output was looking funky, i found out it was my cheap ddm bulbs that arnt straight (fail) Im going to take mine apart and re-do how i have them attached to the old housing cuz the bounce a lil to much with the alum. tape.

Go to the auto paint supply store and get some panel bond or plastic bumper repair epoxy. If you get evercoat brand, you can use a regular calking gun instead of having to buy the special 2 part gun and tips.

UPDATE , got my new Phillips bulbs :D (used but new to me) My issue above was my DDM bulbs.. even tho new they weren't centered. I think my ddm ballast are starting to go, im getting alot of flickering at start up..

Anyways here some pix from tonight. This was the darkest place I could find. The pix dont show how dark it really was, i guess i have the settings set to pick up any type of light at night.

enjoy! order: lights off , parking lights , lows, then highs.

Thanks man. Still getting all the bugs out.


Theres going tobe a HIDplanet meet next week with some guys from all over LA , ill get some good ideas from them. next im find away to clean my 20 year old pitted lens.

I have the 35 watt hella oem ballast. Interested to see if there is a big difference.


You can polish the lenses with cerium oxide of they are not really pitted badly, otherwise you need to sand them first to get the big stuff out.

yeah i think the 35w will bring out more color.

Ive read up everyway on every forum in the world how todo clean up that glass.

Comes down to Cerium oxide. Some ppl say you can use alum polish , sand polish etc etc.

Bring up your driver's side light to be even with the passenger's side. Cutoff looks better and you can see further.
