haha yea, and yea they are ebay projectors with a aftermarket h.i.d i think they look really good for ebay lights especially when there on. i get alot of complements with the halo ligths, and the headlights are really clear and bright, way better than the stock h.i.ds

some one help me out.. are those 5.5 gen headlights painted black? or to me.. they look like ebay black headlights.. which means.. you got screwed.. but for 6g who cares lol good price..nice car..
remove the yellow fog film... doesnt flow at all with the car..
i would look into getting your grill painted to color match..theres just something about merlot max's with color matching grills that the flow is just rediculous...

eh maybe im old school but there is just something about OEM headlights painted black that looks 1000x better.. the ebay ones looks cheap.. but to each their own.. also.. i like yellow fogs too.. just not yellow lenses.. i think oem lenses with yellow 3,000K hid's look better.. trust me i used to have them lol.. anyways..make sure you drop before wheels.. and incase you dont know.. progressRSB makes a world of difference on this car..
also.. look into blackout tape.. and black out your window trim.. many members have done it here

Love that 3rd picture... it really captured the color well. Merlot... you don't see too many of those, but I've always liked it. Good job on the clean-up. Enjoy your car!
(ps. the yellow fog laminate clashes with the merlot in a big way, IMO. Other than that bit of rice... perfect.)

To find out if that mod is for you, buy a $2 roll of electrical tape and fully black out the chrome on one side. Then step back and evaluate before committing to the real process.

thanks alot people and yea ive been lookinh for blackout tape but i cant find it anywhere? nd RSb is def. next just need to save some more money.. does anyone know what type fog light bulb i can use to match the h.i.d color thats another reason why i did yellow lense cause the oem bulb looks really bad compared to the headlight h.i.d? thanks

depends on what color level HID you put in... stock 5.5 gen.. which is what you have which comes with HID's.. is 4,500K .. which is a pure white pretty much... yellow is 3,000k.. if you want it to match 4500k is exact or 5000K (more popular) is pretty close... again.. thats all dependant on if you put a diff level of bulp in there when you changed lights.....and just to educate you further.. the''blue'' look which many on here will call rice.. is usually found at 8,000K -10,000K,..BUT.. contrary to popular though.. these outputs are actually the worst in terms of performance..3,000k yellow is the technical best..and so on..
oh and here...http://www.amazon.com/BLACK-OUT-TAPE.../dp/B00029XD62 also.. use the search function on this site.. it works wonders..
