EASY THERE LOL.....theyre not THAT ugly compared to the normal frosted over halogen OEM's.

I really like the look they gave me on mine...BUT...I would quickly move over to a better HID Projection headlight if they ever come out with one.

Oh and the factory lights were actually Xenon and not HID by the way. I have had both before and the real HIDS were way better. Someone needs to go ahead and manufacture a high quality pair for us!! ANYONE

there is no "body kit" on the car. The front and rear bumpers were custom fused together and customed built out. The sideskirts had custom buildouts, and all 4 fenders were custom sheet metaled.

Xenons are HID

High
Intensity
Discharge

in fact, on the brochure it reads: Xenon High Intensity Discharge with heated headlight washers.

Mr Pie,

You are absolutely correct and I retract my last statement about Xenons and HID's. I was under the impression that HID's they used a different gas but they infact both use Xenon gas, and high voltage between two electrodes. The part that I dont understand is why an older BMW that I had in Germany had Xenons and my Lincoln Navigator had "HID's" and my HID's were way brighter than the Xenons??? Maybe it was just older technology?? Oh well either way I was wrong.

I wouldn't say you were wrong

The only thing I can think of is that with the new bulbs and reflectors and or projectors it may look brighter, but who knows. I am not an expert either

What the derf?

Side shots!? Show me more of that ***! I have to say...305's makes you king and I know 255 up front looks awesome too. I finally slapped some 285s on mine and thought I'd be posting some pics but you stole my fire so it can wait now. Seriously, I know that's gotta be more than 4.5" lip in the rear... ridiculous.
