RE Amemiya S2000 bumper, lights opinion.
I've been pondering this for a bit...
On the REA FC2000 Bumper for the FC, do the low beams (usually projectors, if ones buys the Hella kit), go on the inside or the outside openings?
I.e. should they be more to the outside of the bumper or the inside of the bumper?
On all of the authentic REA FC pictures, it's impossible to tell where they are, because they are behind the lens-covers...
any input and or pictures/comparisons would be appreciated.

High beam should be on the inside, low beam on the outside. The Hella universal kit is very good quality, but it doesn't fill up the gaps inside the projector housing. Which looks like *** imo.
The authentic kit comes with cheap IPF H3 lights, can't really consider it having high or low beam. They're fog lights, and visibility sucks. You have two H3 on each side with two running lights in each. I'm going with hid's.

I agree with LEXX ^ thats how mine is set up. I used PIAA's and although I have more light then the IPF's, the lense isn't contoured so it causes the light to refract up...

Ooops, sorry guys, I don't know why I typed S2000, maybe a temporary ricer relapse.
The thing that bugs me about placing the low beams on the outside is that the outside edges have high walls and block off quite a bit of light. I currently have mine on the inside and they seem to be doing a great job (projectors with HIDs), without any odd side-way cut-off. But again, I was hoping of someone showing pix both ways. I guess I may end up doing it myself and showing comparison of each option.... sigh. I'm too lazy for my own good =]
And I think that once the light areas are painted black, you cannot tell that there is a gap between the housing and the light, when using the Hellas.
