Cool Got some new goodies :)

Got 3 things off my list of things to buy

The story starts when I hit a deer with the Blazer and cracked the back of one of my projector headlights. So I dealt with it taking on water for a few months. I also retro-fitted 9005s into the blank spot of my old aftermarket signals and they were showing signs of heat damage, so I took them off and put the stockers back on.

I finally got enough money saved up, so I went on ebay the other day and found new headlights, signals, and a 9006 hid kit all in one auction, and I bought them.

Just got them today.



I'll keep on updating this as I get everything installed.

HID's are extremely bright headlights.. 9006 would be the light type I believe. HID's do come in different intensities..but I don't think 9006 would be a measure of that.
And the lights look good. Can't wait to see them installed!

9006 is the bulb size. HID stands for High Intensity discharge. Its a system that replaces your halogen filament bulbs with a ballast and an electrode-in-gas style bulb.

I forgot to mention that the HIDs are 6000k. My high beam kit that I currently have is a 5000k, so its not too much difference.

I just finished painting the light surrounds....

Here is what they looked like before:




Got them masked up:




And the finished product:




Sorry if the quality isnt great. I'm using the 3.2MP camera on my Blackberry because my Kodak is being stupid.

It looks much better than being able to see the sealant around the clear lense. lol
