    Your car amazes me, good find. yes you can put some better bulbs in you just have to file some edges on the bulb.

      Very nice score! The paint is beautiful. Good call on removing the caps, I think weaves look better without them, anyway. I really like that second shot, very nice.

        The wheels are mint 15" weaves digitalwave :). No curb rash at all. Rede30, did you also put 9005s in your 9006 housing? Is your car also brilliantrot :).

        One thing I might miss is the sunroof, this one doesn't have one.

          looks like you also have a european front valance. I have 9005 in my low beams. hold a 9005 up to a 9006 and you will know what you have to do to make it work. Three tabs on the socket, they need to be similar. Also where the plug attaches you need to file down the notch inside of the bulb socket.

          Very clean car. sunroof-less cars are also somewhat uncommon.

              etasport, thanks for the pointers. A regular 9005 bulb will be brighter than a similar regular 9006 right? No point shelling out a lot of money on those special ones correct?

              Thanks dude8383 :). I like what you've done to yours, similar things I'd probably want to do.

                I ran regular halogen 9005s and noticed a nice increase in lighting output. I'm running eurolite 65w right now and I like them. Waiting for HIDs though.

                  Eurolights? The ones that have a straight up blue coating? :(

                    He's in Canada, Canada got euro-spec E30s. Hence the euro grilles, 15" weaves, no sunroof, and euro front valence.

                        Somehow I knew the "ricer bulb" comment would come out sometime. I will take a picture with my lights on sometime. They are are not much different from a halogen, just not quite as yellow. The blue coating is very minimal, less than the sylvania silverstars. I've seen some shitty blue bulbs before, and these do not even compare.

                            very nice.
                            that car isnt euro- if it has side markers, and 9005/9006 lights. but that doesnt matter at all. i really like it- keep it that clean.
