Update**

I am waiting on Mr. UPS man to show up with my Hella E-codes today! I already wired up my HID harness and its perfectly hidden! Looks stock under the hood. I need to mount the ballasts though but I am waiting to get the housings before doing so... I really like this light from the 5k! It is white compared to the 8k kit in my scion tC which is fairly blueish!

Also my Scion tC a/c got repaired. What a pain:3d_frown:

waitin for the brown fairy

I am really impressed at the cutoff from the Hella E-code housings. They are way better than I was hoping for. I have adjusted my lamps downward and they do not glare/ blind other drivers.

I wired it so that you only can see 1 wire on the entire system. The red power wire going to the positive terminal. You can't see the ballasts or anything. If you pop the hood you would not know anything has been done! The kit comes with a harness that is basically plug and play. Super simple...

I get all my HID kits from mobile HID.

Oh and to derek~ 89+ is where its at. Lets have a shine off lmao :D

Just caught up on your updates. Looking good, I am loving the new headlights. What are you future plans? A full-body respray? Upgraded turbo with the fuel mods?

Really the paint matches and looks good all over. We may have pieces sprayed a couple at a time. Like 3 piece spoiler, and hood and headlights.

In the future I want to take the engine and tanny out and rebuild the engine with mostly factory parts. Then have it prepped for a mhg and do a fuel/air upgrade along with turbo upgrade or rebuilt with larger trim...


10secdream~ I know what you mean man. They took forever to come in. I placed my order over a month ago. But I am happy with them. Very surprised by the cutoff :love:

What I did today~ replace the factory battery ground system thingy. The one that was on there wasn't properly grounded, someone had ghetto fab'd it :3d_frown:

So out with the old POS

Someone had cut off the original negative ground terminal and fabbed this gayness one! I have a brand new OEM one now :evil2:


Misc pics... from camera phone

And someone asked for a comparison between 8000k and 5000k

As you can tell the 5000k has basically no blue tint whereas the 8000k has a good deal of blue tint! I like the ones I chose for each car!
