Shine is the way to go. Maybe once they expand their FC choices.

misterstyx69: Not sure what the price of the entire kit is but hopefully Ken will get back to you soon. As far as the headlights are concerned, you're pretty much on your own. Alot of people have opted for the 90mm Hella set up or there is my set up (please refer to post #1). As far as turn signals are concerned, again you are on your own to find something suitable. The bumper can be purchased with headlight lenses but that is the only optional piece available from Shine. I believe I posted the cost of my headlights on the 1st page so just go through the first page and there should be enough info to get you rolling with that...GL with everything

Ok, looking at the pictures it doesn't look that good or maybe the lights I'm normally use to are crappier then these but here we go anyways. The first picture is where we we shooting into. As you can see its pretty much pitch black.

how far ahead can you see with the low beams? it might be the angle but it doesn't seem to go very far ahead.

Phoenix7: I'm not exactly sure maybe a couple of yards or so but I figured out the problem of the lights lies in the lenses. The lights are hitting the angled lenses that are causing the lights to refract upward. Its the same problem with the C-west headlights for the fd. The lense needs to be formed in such a way to prevent the light in refracting upward.

Would it be too hard to take the lenses off just for a dry run? Perhaps it is the lights themselves as well? Maybe they are not designed so well for this type of thing?

Also, are you taking those pics out the sunroof or something? They look really high up.

Asterisk: I could take the lenses off and take more pics but the rest of this weekend is kinda shot due to work deadlines however, if you want them and can give me some time I will shoot some later this coming week. Also I shot these on a hill from the side of my door so its kind of a weird angle...Let me see what I can do later this week and see if there is an area near by where I can get some better pics. Also the lights I used are driving lights but instead of going with the one for high and one for low I doubled the driving lights on both sides so for high both sets are on. To be honest, I got these light based on manufacturer rep and fitment. Those are the 2 reasons that sold me over the Hellas.

Ah. Well, some better pictures WOULD be nice, but I'm not going to be actually geting anything for a while. Althrough prior research does make later decisions easier!

PS: Yeah, a hill and shooting it from the door DOES create wierdness! Is it possible to do a no flash- from interior- shot on your camera? I would love some pics if you could take them in your spare time but you dont have to go out of your way for me.

Asterisk: Hey man...sorry for the lagging on the pics...I'mma try to get those this weekend if the rain clears up which I hope it does.
Dead-eye: PM me whenever you're ready I already gave my guy the heads up on what you were looking for so he's already checking pricing and stuff so hopefully by the time you get to him he'll have it all set up for you.

The car looks incredible CWest ... I think I'm gonna have to put on the 2000 front.

So what domestic options are there for the amber running light? Mine will be going on a N/A car that'll probably stay N/A, so I'd put fogs in the lower holes. What size are those, what would I need?

Hey BOOSTD7:
I used the same Piaa series but the fog version for the lower holes. I am getting those in on Friday actually. Once I get them in I'll post pics and I'm still trying to get time to take those other pics but my schedule with work lately has been extremely busy. I also plan and tinting them yellow in the future so I'll keep you guys posted and I promise I'll get those lens-less pics too so just hang in there guys and I will deliever.

Marshall13B: I actually have an extra set of just the headlights but your on your own as far as turn signal and headlights. There would need to be some modification of your front bumper and possibily the area behind the bumper. I also think CP racing makes a kit that might be something a little closer to what you're looking for. LMK
BOOSTD7: Also I forgot to address your previous question...I believe there are some LED plug in type bulbs you can use for the turn signals that are available here and usually you can source them on ebay or something. I know snyper7 has a website with the build process and he might have the LED light part number there...PM me if you can't find the address on here and I'll send it back to you. Hope I helped a bit...GL

Ok What are our options if we do not want to go with the RE turn signals. What LED turn signal will fit in the turn signal hole.

Also for us who want to use HID lights, what housings should be used?

thanks
