I'm thinking headlamps are next on my list... @MadMax, how are your headlamps holding up so far?

I had a little delamination starting but I buffed and waxed it out and so far they are holding up well. I still need to adjust the high beams but I rarely use them so there's no rush.

Cheers! M2

Just my opinion, but I think that running 5000K HIDs in the stock reflector lenses throws out more light then those projector lenses. I do alot of nighttime driving usually where there are no street lights, and the HIDs just seem to throw out more light in all directions then those expensive after-market projector lenses. We tend to have alot of deer grazing on sides of the road sometimes, along with drunks walking home at night who wear all black clothes or teens that think it's cool to walk in the middle of the road and play chicken, and the extra light thrown off to the sides helps me a bunch when there are no street lights. The projectors definitely look cool, but I'm all about the light output!

I'm with you with hids on stock headlights , since I live in backwoods suburbs.. But it's blinding the other driver from the opposite direction .even on a lowered car, I still have people flashing me occasionally ....
