You could always do a swap?

When you resealed them did you bake them to take them apart and then reseal them??
I just ran another bead around and over the factory bead.

I ordered these lights from Eagle Motorsports on eBay.

Thats a Very interesting Cut off... Are they sealed good though? Have you been through a car wash?

I am planning on getting Projectors, I've been looking at the RRM ones, but they are much more expensive than these... can anyone compare them?

Dropped on TEIN S-tech, and the ride is brutal. My friends do not like riding with me. Suits me fine though.

Already got water in them. Condensation and some of the sheaves had water in them too. On the weekend I dismantled the CCFL ballasts as they need to be fixed. One of the ballasts became unattached to the bottom of the light, as the adhesive failed, and was shredded by the tire...I have modified fender wells.

The condensation is gone, I needed new headlights, they work exactly as I invested in them. (Not much $$) They can be resealed, not the end of the world.

Thanks Kelv.

I just picked up a used VIS hood, $200. It needs a little work, it will most likely be painted satin black to match the rest of the car when it gets painted.

Ya, I agree. Blacks are difficult to shoot and actually to a good job.

Looks good! I sorta wish I still had my cf hood, I just got tired of buffing it every week to keep it from clouding. It found a good home with cranswick, although he has plans to paint it. Lol
