Default I can see again!!! thanks to HIDs

From the day I picked up the car at the dealer 11/00 till yesterday I have been bitching about the damm headlights, I could not see very well at night.

Now all that has changed, thanks to swtxaznrac3r and a great price on his hids I could not pass up, I can see again.
Take a look at the two pics, please if you see that they should be adjusted let me know.
the kit is Catz 4300, plug & play.

After driving my parents' cars at night, I'll never buy another new car without HID's.

Anyone know if they make HID kits for sealed-beam cars?

I think it's more of an issue for the R-Speed gimps that meet up in the metro NYC area before heading off to an event. They really slow us down by needing to hit the cash toll booths.

Seriously. David should up the requirements for R-Speed.

One - Own or previously owned an ITR*. (I was about to say no stunnas but Ray is already a member ... )
Two - Must have EZ-Pass**.

* I know there are exceptions to this particular rule.
** Since there are exceptions to rule number one, rule number two should be enforced with an IRON FIST!

Quick question:

So where does everyone mount the Driver's side balast/box?
The wires that go from the harness to the balast are very short.

I definitely need to get a set... AGAIN.

I mounted the box right in front of the shock tower. I can't recall what is just in front of the shock tower, but there's just enough room

Yep. Inbetween the shock tower and whatever is between it. Hasn't moved since I installed the ballasts way back when.
