im only starting a new thread because the same people that have ben waiting for them to be in might not check up on the old thread all that often...or something like that i dunno. check it out

WOOT!!!, took me about 2 hours from start to finish, that was working slowly and cleaning some of the things behind the bumper cover while i was in there. i think they look good, what about you guys?

i do just ask that you guys dont make fun of my car for the front bumper and the hood. the guy that had the car before me hit a deer with the car, and never painted the hood. it was primed and thats how it stayed the whole time i had it. after sitting in my garage for almost 3 years (with a blown engine), it got sorta rusty, so just look past the bumper and hood lol. they will be fixed asap.

the ONLY fitment issues i had was because of the bent radiator support. thats it, otherwise, they fit like oem lights. the gaps youll kinda see if you look hard in the pics is NOT because of the lights. its because, again, the guy before me hit a deer and didnt fix it right.

TIME FOR PICS!!!

these are the ghey old projector lights.

this is during the removal of the old ones with the bumper off.

and here...is...some AFTER SHOTS

Looks great man. And since I cant rag on your hood and bumper... nice mangled tag!

i have to try and pull the front fenders out a little bit near the lights so they fit better. like i said, the way they fit are normal, but they way they look like they fit is because of the guy that had the car before me.

thanks for not raggin on my hood. lol. i know i need to fix it. i just need some black spray paint, unless i wanna try and patch the existing paint.

ok guys, its ben probably ben about 2 weeks or so since ive had these on my car, and a few weeks and a couple of rainstorms later they are holding up EXTREMELY good. i must say, im impressed. no condensation whatsoever. i have to admit, even though i saw the quality of them when i got them and all, i was a little weary of the condensation part. but there is NONE. im happy.

just figured id give everyone a little follow up on how they hold up against the elements. and to those who live in jersey, you know what this time of year brings (weatherwise). we get some pretty heavy rain around here. i know the deleware river is up about 2 feet, so thats alot of precipitation. but they hold up great, i just wanted to let everyone know.

yeah those look good.

of course, why'd you spend money on new headlamps when you shoulda fixed the hood and bumper first? I dunno, that's just what I woulda done...

but whatever, sexy headlamps.

the main reason i got those before fixing is because they are EXTREMELY dangerous to drive with at night. you cant see ANYTHING! lol. its like taping 4 of those little maglights to your front bumper. its that bad.
