damn, now I'm undecided which is best, but I do know that blacking everything out is definitely the way to go!

Questions -

You wouldn't happen to have any pics of the dual orb lights on plus HID's would you?
Or do the orbs turn off when the HIDs go on?

I looked through this thread and the other one and didn't see any pics. I was only able to find pics of the dual orbs only.

Can you PM me pricing on those two that you just posted (both black ones) when you get a chance please? I want to make sure my math is right lol. I'd be dropping by in locally to do the work probably next month.

Obsidian Black Housing
Obsidian Black Shrouds
Dual ORB LED Rings

and

Matte Black Housing
Gloss Black Shrouds
Gloss Black Side Swoosh
Dual ORB LED Rings

I apologize in advance for all these questions, total lighting noob.

Thanks a bunch!

Springs are actually Swift Spec-R. Sways are Whiteline.

Don't worry -- haven't forgotten about ya!! I tried a few times and it's really hard to capture on camera. Once I get my car back from Fast Intentions I'll have to play with the exposure a bit -- sorry for the wait

I got the headlights back last night and plugged them in. I will get some better shots once I put the car back together this weekend.

One question, I would like to get some LED parking light bulbs to match the halos. What color are they? 4000 +/-?

The Orb LED rings are 5000K, it's hard even for us to find a perfect match of an LED bulb. Let know when you do and if they match
