The MTM kit uses really nice lamp assemblies, which are DOT compliant. They are availible from Susquehanna. Like $60 each.

Ok...I repainted them black...and I think they are adjusted properly for now...the proper bulbs should be here by the end of the week. I've got some body work to do over the next few days...as well as get my passenger side window back in the track...stupid thing keeps coming out



body work is because a full sized van cut me off yesterday...tore up the bumper on the passenger side...as well as cracked the turn signal assembly...and bent the bumper bar...so I'm waiting to see what the insurance says about it



i'll post more pictures when the new bulbs come

Looks good, but it looks photoshpped to me! I donno, it must be the picture quality.



See if you could get some different pictures, highlighting the entire car not jus tthe lights.



That way we can see if it fits together as a whole or not.

if you have any trustworthy body shops or something like that, or if you feel comfortable working with fiberglass - i would attempt to makes a fiberglass molding to cover the metal insides....

no photoshop involved :P...I'll try to get some more pictures...its just hard to get a good angle where i park my car.



And now...what you've all been waiting for...well...not really...the proper bulbs came in today...so now these little lights kick some major butt...I've got 65 watt low beams and 75 watt high beams...both are type "A" which is a spot beam...at 15-20 feet they spread about 5 feet wide unlike the floods that they came with...those things didn't go very far at all...



Heres another picture...this time comparing the old bulbs to the new...I used a different camera for the 2...the one on the left is the new bulbs...the one on the right is the old 50 watters...which somehow turned red when I used the other camera...oh well..doesn't hurt anything...you get the idea

I second this notion, you'd have a sweet looking setup then
