singleboy3: As far as HID are concerned I believe Hellas makes some sort of kit of HID but the fitment on the actually light to housing is a bit off (Hellas = 90mm, housing = 110mm) I do also believe PIAA makes something similar to what I'm running which is the 520 SMR series but in a HID variant. As far as the turn signals are concerned I really have no idea what the part number or the actual size of the turn signal hole but I think you might be able to find something on ebay that would work with minor modifications to the wiring harness...My suggestion is do a search for snyper-7 and see if you can find the website of his build and I think he might have at least a picture of what I'm trying to describe.

Hey guys,
Sorry for the lag in trying to get pics but the car is still getting the fog lights installed and some other work done. I found these that might be good for turn signals. I'm gonna test fit them in the morning and I'll post pics of how that goes but most likely it'll need a lil bracket of some sort to hold it in place. Maybe this might be a cheaper solution for some of you guys. BTW these lights are for sale so check my thread in the west section for sale if you're interested.

This is the route I think I am going. Just $5.99 each from any old truck stop. I may retrofit it so it accepts LCD's. Requires a little creative installation but should end up looking very factory RE.

My brake cooling project...

Detmar NASCAR auxilary fans mount directly into the lower 4" opening then I'm running 3" hi-temp silicone hose back to custom backing plates on each spindle/rotor. When I'm on a track that is more abusive than average on the brakes I'll throw a switch during or after a session to assist in keeping the temps down...

I picked them up at a Pilot in Georgia which like other truck stops has a small department of truck parts. In Ontario you might get lucky at any of the Fifth Wheel locations.

Are these the same or very similar lights to what you used?

Those look more like off-road application lights... Maybe someone using PIAA's will chime in.

Quick question - what are you guys using for the headlight cover? The bumper I got (used) did not come with the clear plastic/lexan cover over the headlights.

Any ideas where I can get a pair?
