dude, just do it. Any time you feel funny about the light being on real quick just tell yourself that if you wanted or had to, you could always put the old ones back in, sell the Xenon ones, and everything wouldd be perfectly back to new again!

perhaps u can get that mitec kit or whatever the name is from ebay, of course u wont have the angel eyes..i've the same problem as u and decided i'm not gonna touch the headlights at all..my fault for not getting the xenon option i guess
i dont care what ppl say but for me, even $500 for headlights is a lil pricey no matter how cool ur car is gonna be...another 100 buck i'll be able to buy a front lip and that's more visible too..until a cheaper option appears, i'm not bothered by it
anyway hope u'll be able to solve ur problem

thanks dank for the answer to me question!..I have heard the brex's are not as bright as the oem as welll...i guess its just the sacrifice of staying with yellow...SO can u put the 6000kbulb into the headlights buy just buying the bulbs or do u have to buy new ballasts etc??

where did you buy your xenons from?

I got the Eisenmann when it first came out

muffler was about 1k then

so about 1800 or so give or take for the exhaust...worth it for sure

I have the OEM spoiler right now..its alright buy I prefer the Breyton one by a huge margin so I have that one on order!

um ill get you the link for the bulbs

I got mine from local shop in Indonesia.
Looks like importing the xenon headlight from Germany because when I see the box, it was from Germany.

Seriously, we'd appreciate the help, get out of nawlins and come to Houston for a weekend, we'll all meet up and do this thing. I'll buy beer for the fellas and coca cola for Hunter. lol.....


yeah, I heard many of the evacuees wore out their welcome pretty fast, but I evacuated to my in-laws in Pearl River, La. and unfortunately we have been there ever since, Thankfully our new house should be completed in the next few weeks. Our old house have 10ft of water.

I'll hook you up if you guys want take to take a road trip to New Orleans
