ALot of people asked me why I picked this chassis and why not a newer more
expensive car. I tell them b/c I always wanted to build an eg sedan. I almost bought a brand new one back in 1994 but ended up getting a brand new cd5 sedan. And then in 93, my gsr swapped eg8 got wrecked. So, Its time to finish what I started!!

FInally installed the new tailights. They don't fit like I wanted to, took me a few hours to get them to fit right. Oh well...

Honest opinion, I think they look good in combination with the Ferio style spoiler.

- Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:17 am #340820 as promised, 3k hid foglight output pics.. As you can see, shines up the road pretty well with no lowbeams. Shines even better with the 4300k hid bulbs in there.. I had to mess with the camera settings to even capture the output in the pics.

seriously?

Where'd you get the bulbs?

By Axix23
- Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:29 am #340822 they are just NightVision h3 3000k hid kit 35w from http://retro-solutions.net

I actually like the 4300k hid fogs better. Those give better output and are alot brighter.
:)


I have the fogs adjusted all the way up too. They don't blind incoming traffic, I have tested them by doing a driveby with another car on the other side of the road. haha

I can barely even see the bulbs I have in mine right now. they glow yellow, but don't light up the road at all...

- Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:32 am #340824 do you have the fogs aimed up? If you really wanted it bright, run 55w hids in your fogs.. haha

Yeah they are aimed right, I can see the pattern on the road, but they just don't output. but they are the bulbs that came with the amazon kit, so i didn't expect them to be super bright.
