Discussion
A few minor bits and pieces prompted some new pictures (not all of which are terribly obvious lol).
Some black and silver 'show' plates... I REALLY wish these were legal, they look great on a black car! I have LEDs in now for rear side/brake lights, and also front sides, which look very 'new car' now at night, and match the whiteness of some HID units which were fitted the other day. What a massive improvement for night driving! Full beam is now all but reduntant. Very slightly stretched 255 instead of 245 on the rears now as well. It's the little things!

This is the kit I bought: www.hids4u.co.uk/product.php?productid=77&cat=21&page=1
Not the cheapest by a long shot, but you get what you pay for with these kits I think. Many of the Chinese kits tend to fail relatively quickly. Fitting is very easy when you pay someone to do it lol. I'm not very confident with car electronics, so I left it to a pro. Temp of that kit is 6000k, which is as high as you want to go without looking too blue I think.

Haha... that's not fair. What a lovely car though. It does however beg the question, how long until you announce the price of the Monaro Pedders coil over kit do you think? Presumably a bit cheaper than the AVO stuff?

Lovely shots AJ,what colour did you have the rims painted?
Thank you... rims are graphite grey

Off topic slightly but can you just buy the bulbs or do you need the full kit? ballast and all??
If they're HID bulbs, you need the full kit to run them. They use a completely different power supply. I had tried Osram Nightbreakers previously, but I blew 3 in as many weeks. It seems the projector lense enclosure was getting them too hot, and melting the filament.

mine were 6000k mate as said any higher is too blue and reduces light output.
