I use the search function quite often that's why I'm very anti "starting new threads every second on the same topic" noobs.

Yeah I use it too, and I always have to dig and dig - thanks to those guys who just start new ones rather than do the digging - but it's always out there.

Yep, but you should utilize the other function known as STFU instead of STFF.

Mystery.. you definitely should upgrade those halogens to a HID kit. As Frank says, it won't help the beam pattern but it can't hurt - plus it will look much better. I don't have HID fogs myself, so I can't comment on the effectiveness of those but it is a very common modification.

You should get HID kit for your headlights and matching HID for your fogs. You need clear lens foglights too. Combining all of these will give you a really bright ouput
Was my passenger side too high in my first set of photo's?

Where exactly should they be? As in the first set, or somewhere in-between the first and second set of beam pattern photo's?

I'm afraid of blinding people on the passenger side if it's too high.

You would only be blinding people with a too-high passenger side light if you were driving on the wrong side of the road. You live in the US right?

Your pattern looks fine adjustment wise, IMO.

Hey I think they look great!
Too bad no one makes anything for the coupe.
Whats up with that?
Nice grill to.
Clean look overall. Nice upgrade.

If I have the know-how I would do it, unfortunately I don't. There is a big market for the coupes, that is for sure. Too bad I don't know anyone from the industry to pitch the idea

Question Just to clarify...

Alright, from this thread I've gathered that, if you can afford it, OEM bi-xenons are the best way to go. If I missed something please steer me right. Does anyone have pictures of OEM bi-xenons in use? Maybe compared to HID bulbs in the standard aero-composit housing. One last inquiry, how much would it cost to have dealer upgrade to bi-xenons?

dealer will not help you most likely. bix are about $1000 + install. install is easy but but you have to get the setting changed in the computer or they will not work. i will say some of the retrofits are better than the oem bix but you have to do it yourself or pay someone to do it but it can be done for under $1000 i know i read that one member did it for like $500. i don't really have any pics for you but i know that there has been plenty of them on here if you look around. I love my bix even when they are giving me trouble like right know but they are just so good.

Problems?

What kind of problems are you having exactly? Bulb failure perhaps? I hope it is an easy DIY.
