[Faheemo]

Damn Beautiful !
Suits the colour .. well done.

i actually think it really looks good! much more agressive!,

but does it change ANYTHING for the dipped beam? or is the amount of light exactly the same?

and are you're lights fairly new?? i still have the original ones from 93 with lenses! i wanted to fit new ones in the hope that i would get more light from my HID kitt but aparently it doesnt make much difference??(does the relay mod do so much for s2 lights?)

and one last question do you have a picture with you're lights on??

[20/100]

Yes.... nice job.

Is it possible to have a pic from 5-6 meter front please....

Thanks

1.

head lamps are ***** at night, but this is because my main beam turns my fish bowls off cause i never got round to doing the mod on the switch when i changed from standard lamps, im going to wire the feed for the headlamps direct to the alternator as this makes a world of differance!

3.yeah the black box is a motor for adjusting the headlamp level, have a little roller switch on my centre console

Remove the Old lights form the car and replace with the newly painted Ellipsoids:

Apply one neat fairly think cote of paint to the chrome:
The better the brush the less brush strokes in the paint. However these don’t show up much once the paint is dried and the glass is reattached.
I would not recommend painting the High Beam dish.
I also left the ring around the Ellipsoid unpainted. This is down to your own discretion.
I also painted the Dish for the side lights – I would not recommend this unless you have changed your side lights to LED’s as these don’t requite any reflection to increase the strength of the beam.
