Default JDM retrofits

I have had a few pm's about these. The are jdm one piece. I came across a deal I couldn't pass up, a set of 2003 JDM Celica headlights for 25,900 yen(around $240 with yen rate right now). The headlights were complete with projectors, bulb and ballasts. I went to Autobacs and bought 12awg, relay and new connectors for 3000 yen($27) and made my own hid harness. So for $247 I have some awesome HIDs. I used silver carbon fiber on the inside. Any Qs let me know.

Well they won't let me post anymore for 24 hrs, oh well

Looks Nice.

So to do this you had to put your headlights in the oven to seperate them?

Thanks for the good comments. The lip is a DIY job, I had a spare bumper cover so I cut the bottom half, flipped it and bolted on. Free lip.

Seriously one of the coolest ****** Preludes on this site. I just shat myself. The flipping the bumper thing was ******* genious. Good idea...and mad props.

That is a really nice retrofit, and your car is just beautiful.

I might have to steal that lip idea from you.

And what kind've wing is that?
