Is it easy? I wont want to end up with bubbles beneath. Only reason I ask is because I have never used the tech with water involved.

it's super easy to apply, just follow the instructions,

Check out the vendor forum take some time and check out some of the vendors sites. You find lots of cool stuff on all our websites. Even tough lots of us sell the same products we all have many products that are different.

I find that most of the supporting vendors care about their customers and provide A+ customer service.

Everyone has different pricing. But these days HID kits are pretty inexpensive..

you can do the black tape mod, which is where you put black tape or u can paint the reflector around the projector. this gives it more of the hid look and it looks very very sexy.
if u want a diy search projector mod

There was a thread regarding the cut-off mod around here somewhere. I went to a local hardware store to find some high temperature adhesive, but came back empty handed. Need to do more research on it.


It basically involved taking the lens apart and gluing a metal sheet over the cutout in the lens.

I was thinking along the same lines, but the cutoff line isn't going to line up very well with the passanger side unless you adjust it pretty high.
