Maybe we should force people to watch it as part of the sign-up process biggrin.gif . Like as soon as they submit all of their info, a window opens and links to this.

Impossible!

And make it a flash movie that plays during the "registration" process that cannot be exited, otherwise it cancels the registration process. Or, have it play every time someone logs in for the first week of their "membership" if you could call it that...

Probably just went up with this post...

Also, somewhat on topic now. What are the benefits of Jewel headlights, do they act more like projectors? That could be good when using HIDs... I personally am not sure if I like them or not based on the pictures I have seen... Just curious cool.gif

I will probably go the E-Code lens route w/ euro turn signals unless the Jewel's are that much better.

I believe a guy took the projectors out of some Bimmer headlights and retrofitted them into the jewel setup. He posted a bunch of pics of the process on VPTuning, but I don't remember who it was. The light output on the jewels seems a bit better than stock IMO, nothing incredible though. They have a sharper cutoff as well, like the E-Code lights. If you want to do HID's in the jewel headlights, you have to remove the reflector in the housing, otherwise light will go wacko and will be everywhere except in front of your car. And Carson, believe me, pictures cannot do the jewel headlights justice. I've posted pics of them on my car and they look a 100x better in real life.
