Cool, now you will have moar light when you drive your mom to the dollar store :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lol, that's funny you said that. Last summer mom and I were taking trash to the dumpster and on the way back we stopped at McDonald's (which is near the dollar store). The guy in the first window leaned out and goes, "hey the dollar store's getting robbed." We looked over and there were about six cop cars and police everywhere, and they had the entrances taped off. Why would you rob a dollar store? Lol.

There is so much chrome, red and blue!

It reminds me of Christmas ornaments.

I'm not sure if I like it. I will have to see 12k in person on a Volvo to see if it looks good to me.

But hey, if you like it then thats what counts, it is your car.

Going to the strip club.

No...when I put my EST 302mm brake kit on with bright green EBC pads and painted the calipers red, THAT was Christmastime all over again.

If I was robbing a store to go to the strip club I'd at least grab a few bills and get some VIP action. But not all of us have high standards.

Was it easy enough to install? Also what kit did you order??

No...I had serious issues installing them. For one the H1 bulb would not fit through the cutout in the driver side low beam, so I had to remove it from the headlight and file the corners down. Then when I got to the foglights, I about quit. A halogen H3 bulb looks like this:

The xenon H3 looks like this:

Notice the difference in length of the bases of the bulbs. The xenon H3 will not fit with the stock screw-on cover b/c it's too long, so after drilling a hole in the back of the cover for the wires, I had to bore out the gridded supports on the inside of the cover. Mounting the ballasts was easy as used velcro for the low beams and zip ties for the fogs. It's the MD01 kit from www.mydepots.com.
