The beam pattern will be all over the place, no offense to the original poster. I've seen it firsthand...

sorry guy, I don't think the beam pattern is all over the place. Notice that I use Hella 90mm projector to replace the low beams. If you say that Hella 90mm projectors does not give good beam patterns. Then I have nothing to say.

Why so much light? You've got the HID now, so loose some of the rest. Your car will look cleaner.

Are those OEM 99spec fog lights?

I like it! Your 99spec wing will go great with your set up.

More pics please

How did you use the Hella projector? Can you get a close up shot of the housing in the day? And a write up would be most excellent!

yes, those are OEM fog lights. Bought it with the whole front assembly. I can't do a write up because I didn't do the conversion myself. I just paid someone to do it. Yeah, planning to lose my middle fog lights once I get my front mount............

I paid $1,250 for the C-West headligh kit. Stupid me should have just bought the replica for like 700 bucks. I paid $100 for Hella 90mm low beams. $300 for D2S HID kit off of ebay. Paid $140 for 8000k bulbs. Labor was $400. so lets see what's the total..hmmmm
1250+100+300+140+400=$2190....dang, it was that much, never thought about it...now I regret..don't want to think about it. hopefully this helps..I'm pretty sure you an do it for a cheaper price though.

I checked out C-West USA and the kit retails for $800USD without any lights? Why did you get charged $1200? I love the light scheme btw but since you have HID's the other ones wont do much except for looks. Maybe you can change a pair to amber for fog and rain?

1200 was back in the day when you could get the lights with the kit. Now you can only get the kit without the lights.
