I also changed the city light to a whiter bulb that i got on ebay. The bulb is not that bright, ill be throwing in some Piaa bright white wedge bulbs soon. I haven't taken a pic of the bulb in there right now, but will soon....
What kinda HID kit did you use? How much was it for both? How was the install? The BIX are just too expensive...

It costs a little under $600. I'm thinking about changing my tips to a quad style also... you should do it, it'll look good..

I dont remember the brand name of the kit, but i got it from one of the sponsors of this site James at ACSG? i think that's the company name. He had an end of the year special for HID kits i believe it was $65/kit for 35w and $85 for the 55w. Error Cancellers were $35 each. So around 2 hundred something for both kits... I didnt do the install, Albert at TWS did, headlights are pretty easy, but i heard the fogs are kinda hard. I didnt want to deal with it, so had him do both.. Its so much brighter now...

I wouldn't mind keeping it Dual, but i want to get the CF diffuser. I think the holes for the tips are a little bigger so the single oval tip on each side might look to small. I wouldn't want gaps around it. So ill have to wait until i get the diffuser to decide...

Thanks.. nah, took it to a small muffler shop near my house. I wasn't too sure i wanted to take it to any muffler shop, but all the places i wanted to do it at were closed already... took the guy 4 hours, this guy was hilarious, i pretty much had to help him out... seriously it wasnt that bad, but the dude was a klutz, kept dropping his tools and so unorganized, he would put a tool down and forgot where he put it...

sounds like you went to a good ol' pinoy mechanic! glad he got it on without a problem. I remember when Johnny (bigjohnny) put them on, he ran into a bunch of problems with the install...

haha... nah, don't know any pinoy mechanics around here or else i woulda taken it to him. He assured me he's been doing this for 25 years and installed plenty of Headers.... sure.... It was funny though, i had printed out the instructions that were posted on the header thread and gave it to him, but he was like i don't need the directions... I ended up reading them to him the whole time he was working... It took awhile, but everything worked out.

Its just the regular bulbs I don't want to deal led's until they have a true plug and play with guaranteed no errors.

I think these bulbs are good enough, i don't want to make my license plate lights brighter anyways...
