Rotary Extreme Headlight Kit With HID Foglights

Here's my finished Flushmount HID Headlight kit, and for what it's worth, people flash their high beams at me not for the Headlights but for the fog lights...
I'm in the process of lowering them and getting "Feedback" .....

So if followed properly, (Rotary Extreme Instructions)
they improve the visibility immensely, and do not **** off oncoming cops (Important)

The HID Fog light kit was supplied by J_J from the boards and was pretty simple to install, given that some idiot tore out the wiring harness for the Fog lights when I bought it...

Anyhow here's one pic and the rest are on a new page, where I'm going to try and share what I've learned so far...

I can't say it's one of those, whip out a screwdriver and a wrench kind of mods... and it's not exactly reversable...
You could reverse it if you were absolutely unhappy but you'd either have to do some welding or bend some sheetmetal in place and bolt it down ....
So, as a Sunday afternoon AST kind of mod it's definitely more difficult... as far as the quality and performance over stock ..... W O W !!!!
What a difference... it just improves your visibility so much...

Someone on here once said his aim for headlights was to be able to se debris on the highway going 100 MPH....
I'd say with some adjustments where you might **** some people off this is the kit for you... if you aimed them down a hair you'd still feel comfortable at 80 and wouldn't **** people off... that's more or less where I have them set.... the reson for the HID Foglights is to match the look of the Driving Lights... which is close... but for some reason not 100%.... which was dissapointing but also the Driving lights have the famous cut off and the Fog Lights do not... so that might account for the color temp difference....

I also chose to paint the covers VR and the Houseing Black, matching my red / black theme, but also not disturbing the hoodline too much, unlike the people that chose to paint the housing the color of the car and the Covers Black... That was a design Idea that I chose, and other people might agree or disagree with... I also had no stake in making it an AE Amamiya Look - Alike...

I was into the kit for performance.... and looks came with the package.....

What do you want to see ?? Beam Pattern or just a black hole with 6 lights !? I can shoot some pictures of the beam pattern, and I'll try and get the car in twilight tonight and maybe post some new pictures...

Here you go... I hope tis satisfies everyone...

And keep in mind, that height has a great deal to do with weather you're blinding people, and affects the distance at which things get lit up .

Mine are set a bit low cause I was getting 4-5 people pissed off at me just in going to get some gas... 1.5 Mile drive... at first and I err'd on the low side...
