Thanks for noticing!
Yes, got them from from Steve in Netherlands. Had to pay a fortune in airfreight shipping to get them here without being broken. Were the lights on? I can't remember. Were they adjusted too high? I like them, they look nice and work fine, but the old ones are probably just as functional. It is just a tweak.
Your wheels gave you away, I couldn't tell what brand they were because they were spinning so fast
but I could tell they were 18 or 19's. Hey what happened to your rear license plate? I thought you were a new one for a few moments.
Bensport has a show Dec 1 we should try to go.
Nice to see you.

rrf, yes your lights were on and from what i can tell, they looked perfect. i don't think they were too high at all. good job!
hehe, you noticed the license plate. well, would you believe me if i told you that i just don't have the time to do it. it's either that or i always forget until i'm driving and get reminded that i need to put those on. by the way, i have 19's. i've never seen how it looks from the outside.
it was good to see you too! do you have tint on your windows? i had hard time seeing who the driver was. i thought you live in sj but you were heading north.
the show on dec 1 sounds like fun. do you plan on entering the contest?

Cheers,
No fear, your 19s look great.
I was just going to a family dinner with my wife in SF, ...you ?
I'm happy with the lamps, it really is a looks thing.
The Bi- doesn't really create better performance, it is just a reflector plate that clangs in to drive the high beams. I never even turn on the high beams here in SJ. It is all about the looks of the car from the front end. The Bi-s look good to some, some say "too rice". Anyway, I like the look, glad you do too, thx for that. I plan to sell the old Xenons to someone that got a sedan that was not Xenon when delivered. Everyone will be happy.
Tint, no just the normal. With a dark car apparently it seems more tinted though. Just the other day I saw how "blue" the stock tint is.
Entering Dec 1: NO WAY, my car is never very clean Did you notice the 1/8 inch layer of protective pollen on it?

thanks for the comment! as for me, that is my usual route back home. i'm in san mateo.
i do love the lights. i think it looks better on a black car. i've been comparing it with a black and silver. my only regret is that i didn't jump into the sale of the headlamps. hey, if you ever what to get rid of it, i'm interested.
it was way too dark to notice any pollen. you car actually look very clean from my distance. i have a problem keeping mine clean since i can't wash it where i live so i need to rely on paying someone to do it. that sucks.
