Here are some pictures from the days work....

First one is a switch wired up in a small box, over the parking brake... (never really use it, and it is able to be moved in about 5 seconds, thanks velcro!


Second is a new speaker cover that was hit with a quick shot of black paint


This is actually the old one, and there are a few hairline cracks


Lights!!!!, and this is the fogs and the HID's from HIDextra......


How she looked outside of the garage.....


I let the HID warm up and tried to adjust the lights on the front to work, but it seems like the headlights are pointed up a bit, They feel like they are in securely, but they are pointed up too much, with a gap underneath... I am unsure because they are SECURELY in their location, and I am 99% sure they are put in correctly...

I believe I mentioned you in my review of the HIDextra kit, as the guy who assisted me in determining that I was blowing fuses left and right... Also, we need to figure out the difference in the fuses between 98 and 2004.... 10 amps for my headlights and 15 for yours? FISHY!

Hit up the Zone, the autozone, and purchased extra fuses, to help replace all the ones I blew during my HID install.... And I will try to get pics of the lights at night, only thing is they look more blue than they do... if you get what I am saying

I believe it is a hunter brushguard, there was a decent discount through ebay for the forum, and they actually refunded me money because I asked about a group buy after I purchased it, but it would be a HUNTER brushguard, although its not "branded" with any name on it... If you do purchase it, purchase separate hardware, the hardware for the light covers is.... weak.... And I sheared one off rather easy...
