Default HID install all around and Night pics!

Ok so I installed HIDs in my low beams and fogs. I have 55W 8000k in my low beams and 35W 6000k in my fogs. I mounted the ballasts on the top of the frame under the bumper and the bumper support. (When I get some pics I will post them). They sit nicely in there mostly tucked away. I went out and took some nights shots with the camera as well. Here are the pics..

I actually just went with some HID's off of eBay but when I opened the box and found Hella corp. on the ballasts I was pleasantly surprised... I do drive with both of them on and have been flashed a few times but when I flash back with my real brights I dont get anymore ****... All of these photos here are toned down just a little or else I coudnt get a good shot so the lights are incredibly bright.

Here is the line with just the headlights and HID (didnt have fogs installed yet) and also a distance shot...

The fogs are actually some that my buddy had laying around and we threw them on the car. They are about 5" in diameter and yes I did use an H3 bulb. I did have to do some custom work to the fog light housing itself to make it seal correctly but it all ended up working out.

I am running probably a six year old digital Kodak at about a three second exposure and was just played around with the aperture a bit. Makes sure to have a tripod, insanely difficult for night shots without it.

That hood you see in the second set of pics is my hood but it is off the car right now. I am having the side louvers being replaced with flush mounted heat extractors from an '06 Viper. It should clean up the look overall.
