agreed on the 3M tape. The clear variety has never worked well. If we want to use something that stays, the gray (not sure the model number) always works great, and never releases. The clear stuff pulls right off the back of the light strips, and whatever its stuck to as well. Maybe a little adhesion promoter on the back of the strips, and some 3M gray tape, and they will stick a little better. just my $.02 :-)

The lights look really good. The placement of the control box is a good idea!
Do you have any pictures of the glow coming from the vents? Every angle of shot you took doesn't look like the vents are illuminated. |

Yeah, it was really weird, at that show the camera didn't pick up the glow in the vents. They are really visible in person, and light up like crazy at night. I'll have to take better pics at various to see if I can capture it. |

You might not need to raise up the lights it looks like the projectors are not installed straight up and down in the housing..You might need to take a screw driver and rotate the projectors so tht the cutoff line can be corrected.. This is what the cutoff line should look like..This will also help to illuminate the road better for better visibility..

This gave me exactly the inspiration I needed to decide to go with those lights. Been thinking about it for a while. Now I´m certain this will be done! I just need someone to install them..lol. If I do it, I´d be lucky if I even get one light working.

Haha, no problem man, we can get you hooked up with an installer. My friend who did my lights is a professional and will get it done right. He lives in Anaheim and his workmanship and prices are WELL worth it. He actually responded in this thread, and goes by the name Third-gen. Send him a PM or send me a PM and I'll give you his phone number.

We have the same thought process in regards to the diffuser. I want to either lay real carbon on the stock one, or purchase te Havoc, or the RK Sport real carbon diffuser. It's been a tough decision though. |
