My New Headlights (low rise)

I Finally finshed some new headilghts for my car. They are hella 90mm lights. I ran into a couple problems when installing these since they were so big i had to cut up a bit of the stock headlight frame, but i finally got them in and mounted. The lighting is GREAT, i absolutly love it.

Low Beam


High Beam


Lights without headlight covers


Close up on lights



What do you guys think?

I don't understand



No they arent the "eBay" kit that kit probally uses fog lights. These are REAL headlights, i rode aronud for about a year on a cheap fog light low rise kit i made. Its not a kit i just bought the lights and put the rest together myself.

I will try to get some pics of the light pattern soon.

I did this over 2 years ago. Its very easy to do. I used the projectors from a 300zx and audi. You can also use the Acura Integras projector, which have the cut out also.

I've been thinking about doint it, but the cost of the Hella's forced me to put it on hold. How much better is the light pattern?

By the way, I've seen this car in person, the pics don't do it justice.

Sorry, probably before your time.

Go rent the movie Short Circuit.

It has a robot that has eyes that look like those lights.
