The fogs don't even work properly. They are coming out soon to be replaced by round mini projectors most likely.

Why put priority on looks over safety? I drive extremely dark back country roads almost daily. No street lights and not many houses. I needed these lights more than anything else on the car at the moment. That's why I chose 'em

The bumper, a driver side door power window/power lock cluster, the dash, front bumper cover and rear bumper cover are being replaced from a buddies parts car of the exact specs as mine.

They are rare and hard to find.
Check out the threads for some leads.
Or check the sales section here.
Or check ebay, but watch out for fakes.
If I remember correctly its a Halogen 894, but people have used re-based HID kits with success (check out the pics).

I'm still working on the bracket for the headlights and fogs now. But my t-top conversion has priority over anything at the moment

Thanks, I just saw it. I need to cut the cut-off shields and level them out a bit. Did I mention my HID kit came with a broken bulb piece? The mount portion of it had busted either while being packaged or when it shipped. I was kinda pissed as I had installed the ballasts, igniters, etc. on both sides. Then did the bulbs in the housings.

I also noticed one of the housings was busted .. from a rock or something maybe? It was just maybe a 1"x.25" piece that was pushed in, so I got some super glue and JB weld and fixed it so I could re-seal the housing. I was wondering why it was fogging up!

So hopefully once I get the bulb back I'll be good.

I wish I had purchased a 4300k kit, but I was going on reputation of the company.. ugh. I did put a piece of white paper in front of it (the police test lol) and the paper remained white. So that's good, it's really not that blue at all... though the photos suggest otherwise.

I didn't cut the stock shields. My brother and I made new ones out of sheet aluminum from Home Depot (it was about the same thickness as the stock ones). I think I need to make the entire shield about 1mm-2mm taller (or just elongate the mounting holes and move it up 1mm-2mm), which will block the bulb slightly more and lower the projected line (I think we revealed the bulb more than stock which is what's causing the orange burst on the passenger projector). We made the driver-side projector stepped and the passenger-side flat. The shield projection on the wall is the flipped image of the shield itself. To shorten the step, we didn't cut it as low as the stock one is cut. It took a while to get it right. We traced out the old one. Then layout out how we wanted the new cut-off pattern too look. To cut it out, we used tin snips to get close to the line and used files to get the shape down the line. It took some time and tweaking. Some people have instead added material to the stock one to get the same net effect. Also, to get the line as even/sharp as I could, after mounting them, I installed the H9 Halogen bulbs in the projectors and powered them up with a battery pack. To fine-tune the line, I push/pulled on the edge of the shield to improve the line and filed the edge to make sure it was as flat and burr-free as possible.

What to buy.. Projectors
