Great, thanks Tofu!

I'd never drill into a car body - except for plastic parts. Velcro and/or cable ties work fine.

For these HIDs and also those LED headlight bulbs, do you guys still leave on the rubber grommet or do you leave it off completely for proper fitment of the bulbs?

You can actually upload your pics directly to the fitfreak site using your User Control Panel (UserCP "button" on the grey bar just above the SEARCH pane). Once in the Control Panel there is a selection for Pictures and Albums on the left side of the screen under Networking. You can upload pics, create and edit your albums from the control panel. I learned this by searching/reading through fitfreak's FAQs which is also on that grey bar above the search pane.

I really would like to see your pics as well!

No problem ... maybe I'll start an Info thread about uploading pics as I ran into the same difficulty when I first tried to add my own pics. I definitely suggest reading/searching the fitfreak FAQS ... PIC file size has to be under 100Kb if I'm not mistaken

Very interested in seeing the difference with the HID bulbs. A friend at work did this to his Mustang and swears it is an incredible difference!

How's the glare in these hids guys ? I got an H4 hid 6000k kit I have laying around in the garage from an older car and I'm curious if HIDs on the fit halogen housings are anti high beam safe lol

What bolt did you guys use for grounding the harness? I've experienced some stalling on the bolts that I have tried.

I will post up the pictures as soon as I put them on photobucket. sorry for the lag. lol

Yep, I have 50% tint in the front and 20% in the back. This is my third car tinted here in California and not once been bothered by cops.

I figured long as it's not like 20% or 5% tint in the front they won't bother you.

Cops have bigger issues to deal with than window tints.
