    is there a place that shows you how to do that? the only way i could imagine making something like that work in a car includes a whole lotta jb weld, duct tape, and some glue sticks. how do you go about aiming them?
    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

    Nah. Ive got no duct tape or JB weld on mine... its a wonder though. Use the factory adjusters, at least on this one with the way I mounted them.

    I've got some BMW HID ballasts for 60 bucks. You can get differant types of bulbs for them on Ebay for about a hundred. I was going to put them on my EP but changed my mind. Let me know if you're interested.
