Well after my sketchy drive to work in the pouring rain today...I am fed up with my stock headlights and foglights. They are finally adjusted correctly and have Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, but the light output is still horrible. I even have NOS Ford headlight housings. My foglights are just as pathetic. lol

So let the pictures of your headlights and foglights commence (any setup). Dont forget to list what all was used. What brand headlight housings if other than factory, what bulbs (projectors, HIDs, etc.), and any info you can give about your headlight and foglight builds. Day and night pictures if possible. Thanks guys.
 
Yeah I know Milan does. But this is going to have to be another DIY project for me. Just need ideas and input. And pictures always help. lol
 
https://www.facebook.com/#!/milan.m.filipovic?fref=ts this guy makes custom headlights for the csvt he makes no profit u pay for the parts and shipping and he does it ive seen his work great craftsmanship

Appreciate the kind words!

Brent, honestly let your imagination dictate what you do. It can be as easy as dropping in a Hella 90mm Low beam into the stock housing, or doing something insane like I did with mine... I'll look up some pics, at the office preparing for a trial tmrrw...

I always envied your fog lights :D

[edit] and your pristine front bumper :mad:
 
I've had a set of pudmunkie projectors sitting on my shelf in the garage for about 3 years now.....I should get off my ass and install them :laugh:
 
The one & only Morettes:cool:

And this is the light output @ night. I replaced the stock morette bulbs with hyperwhite bulbs. I luv em. Ideally i'd like to get true HIDs installed in them. But i can't seem to find someone to trust with these, considering if there's a mistake, there's no replacement. Oh, & the fogs are PIAAs.

Please post more info about those fogs. I love the way those look.
 
I'm just a whore. Simply yellow tinted lenses. With the fog light/parking light wiring mod done(I do not have fog light wiring anymore they're just there to fill the holes) I can drive with both high and low beams on at once(4 forward facing headlight beams) and the yellow light is less offensive to the eyes meaning I don't piss people off with how bright it is.

Check Mr. Bill's thread for my input

http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?78592-Just-another-HID-projector-build

I used Morimoto Mini H1's from The Retrofit Source

They're great, and cheap. I would definitely consider bixenons, they are fantastic.

One disclaimer, they got so hot that they warped my shrouds. If my lenses weren't so tight that they push against my shrouds, the shrouds would have wiggled loose on daily driving. I noticed this when I took my headlights back apart (I do this too often, I'm obsessed). Not cool in my opinion.
