Wow looks good.
Do the LED strips act as your turn signals? or only as you arm/disarm the alarm? And do your stock turn signals still work as well, if the LEDs do act as your turns? -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

QUOTE (Syaoran @ Jun 14, 2012 - 12:06 AM) I think these were the easiest to install and they came out really well, but you could've used a MUCH larger projector (like FX-R I think they're called?) to make use of the whole housing and get better light while at it... a bi-xenon would've been awesome and do some kind of high-beam delete for a different look. the price difference wasn't worth the size difference for me, but the fx-r's are nice. My mini's have a solenoid to bi xenon option, but decided go a diff route. I wanna see a in-cabin picture of these

Currently waiting on a couple LED bulbs to come in the mail, these will be my blinkers which will actually be housed in the high beams! The stock turn housings will be non-functional.

Be sure to keep this thrad updated, interested in seeing how that will look. You should shave the stock turns! -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

Will do, actually I should say that the high beams will still be functional, the led bulbs is off to the side in the housing which should illuminate the housing/reflector when it blinks. Actually I plan on plasti-dipping the entire car and the turns will be painted over and left that way.. so still be kind of shaved but not in the sense of bodywork. -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

In the neighborhood, here you can better see the cutoff effect.  And in the driveway. Showing the output/cutoff from the driver's seat.  Still gotta fine tune the aiming a little. Again these are Morimoto Mini H1 Projector's with 6000K HID's

Why didnt you choose 55w? Because when I had the stock headlights in I ran a 35W 9006 Bulbs HID kit. And just bought new H1 HID Bulbs to replace the 9006 ones. So all that to say it was cheaper
