Well, today was the day, and the install for the Angel Eyes and HID lights went off without a hitch. Even learned a few interesting things along the way to help others out in the future. But enough delay, here is what everyone wants to see, the PICS!
Just a note, all these pics were taken inside my parking garage, but I'll take some good night shots tonight.
Okay, so now that the fun part is out of the way, on to the neat little trick I learned during the install. I don't know if anyone else has found this out before, but there is an extremely easy way to get to the 2 bolts on the bottom of the headlamp assembly. Instead of jacking the car up and removing the wheels, if you simply pop out the side marker light assembly, you can reach in with a wrench through the space where it goes and easily access the bolts for removal and replacement.
All in all the installation for both the headlamp assemblies and the HID install took a total of maybe 2 1/2 hours, and I'm definitely pleased with the results.
And if you're wondering where my license plate and bracket went, I took it off today to see how it looks before I take it to the car show tomorrow. The holes for the bracket are a bit unsightly, but possibly less unsightly than the bracket and plate itself...
