haha, i think that's kinda a compliment, but you can get so much better sounding exhaust than I could ever imagine, you're car looks awesome and has the potential to sound awesome too, if it's not already, i'm not really sure if you have exhaust haha

Okay, so after researching this all day I've narrowed it down to three.

HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning
HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning (55W necessary?)
06-08 Chevy Impala Twin CCFL Halo Projector Headlights - Black(What are the benefits of projector?)

What do you guys think I should go with?

the kit you listed is good, you don't need the 55w kit, but if you do that one, it will be less color output, but brighter light.

for example the 8000k in 55w looks like the 5000k in 35w if that makes sense.

as for the projector headlights, those are the right ones but i have heard of people not liking them and just going with the black house depo headlights like shocker has, like in his sig, which i personally think look better

Alright cool, I will be going with the HID then. I've got quite the list of things I'll be doing to this car... I'm sure it'll all take a while, but I'll definitely post some pics once I get this project rolling! Thanks for all the input.

one of these days haha..i have a friend that does exhaust but i have no idea about anything exhaust related haha so i hope what i pick out sounds good

i have heard alot of bad stuff about the projectors too...so i stayed away from them and the depo lights i got are really high quality lights

one thing with the depo's and HIDs is you may have to aim the beam down so that there is a reduction of glare into oncoming traffic

xxtheshockerxx 05-03-2011 10:56 PM

thats my only concern with HIDs in the headlamps i have....i am not really familiar with HIDs so i dont know what the glare and all that will be like

I'll keep that in mind.
Is the error eliminator cable really necessary to have?
What is the h1/h7 to 9600 cable for?
These both are extra money that I don't want to spend if I don't have to.
