Pics of my car

Here are some pics of my car outside of the customs shop where I get all my stuff done.






I'll try to get some pics of it in the day and pics of my exhaust (I still don't have a digital camera).

The shops right on Central Park Ave just north of Yonkers.

As for parking bulbs, I used to have H7 bulbs, but I just took them out because I was having electrical problems. When I have the headlights on, the inner part of the light (where the parking light would be) is illuminated by the headlights. The H7 bulbs looked cool though, they were very blue.

So what you're saying is that you don't have a bulb in there at all?

amazing for having no bulbs. lol Its a nice setup everything matches. Your fogs are HID 8000k right? is it the angle you took the pics at or are they not so blu-ish? Would that mean your bi-xenons are using 8000ks too? I actually switched my inner lights from blue 6LED to 6 white LED, but i havent been able to take pics of the 6 whites at night.

My car didn't come with the bi-xenons. Here is what I have right now:
The headlights are the "Super Vision HID Xenon Conversion Kit - Diamond White 8000k."
I have nothing at all in the inner parking lights, the bulbs are taken out.
I lost my reciept for the other lights, but the high beam bulbs were replaced and when used it lights the road up with a turqoise color.
The turn signals are very blue.
I was thinking about changing the turn signals on the side mirrors, but cops haven't given me any problems with the rest of my lights so I think I'm gonna leave them.
My fogs are not Xenons, I think they are the fake xenons. They give the color and look of HIDs, but when you stand far away from it all you see is the real HIDs, you can barely see the fogs (or anything else for that matter).
I replaced the side markers with the clear ones and got blue bulbs put in those. At first, I had LEDs in them, but for some weird reason they were blinking. The guy at the shop changed them for some other blue bulb which still looks pretty cool. Next time I go to the shop I'll ask the dude what exact bulbs he used.

Thanks for any and all compliments

Well i know for the inner parking lights it wasnt bad. I think mtechnik did a whole install guide for the parking lights. As for the side markers, the resistors arent exactly big, but they arent small either, putting them around the sidemarker cavity might be difficult, because i dont remember how much space there is. Maybe 1-2in in length, i got the 6ohm aluminum resisters from http://autolumination.com. (not bad you'll need one for each side. about $7 from that site but there are others. Also it gets rid of the lamp malfunction because Leds dont take as much power to work.)
This thread maybe of help https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...2&page=1&pp=50

if you have no inner parking bulb does the car sensor go off and say that your light is out?
