Finally, pics of my infamous X5 HID Projector setup!

Well, here you go. Took me long enough eh? My bad if the pics are kinda weak, the digital camera I used was wack as hell, but these pics should be good enough for now. The setup looks MUCH better in person. I'll get some REAL pics when I buy a better one, probably next week. Also, let me know if these pics don't show up because I'm using one of the free hosts.


Nokya Arctic Whites (Before)



BMW X5 Projector Conversion (After)



Notice the output on the ground with the projectors compared to the Nokyas. DAYM!



In this pic, the left beam is aiming straight into the camera and that's why it's blue compared to the yellow on the right. They never really looking yellow like that though, it's only because the camera SUCKS! At certain angles, they look REAL blue, but you gotta be really far away to see it.



Even MORE blue.




Here, they have a spearmint color. Even though the corners look purplish, they match up pretty good with the HIDs.



Last pic. Oh yea, and I'm gettin evicted if you can see that notice on the door. *ahem* And yea, I know I need a paint job and some repairs. Everybody on here should get HIDs instead of wastin a grip of bread on that coated blue mess.

Feedback anybody?

Looking sweet! Damn I wish I had the $$$ to get a custom setup like that, but until that day I will just have to live with a kit...

the 2nd to last pic is great! damn those projectors are big. i would go buy some amber bulbs for the corners. should be like $2. i bet you you'll like them better! i got those pics you want. i will email you later. i would really like to see a pic of yours from farther away with slight angle like this


i've noticed that the cl doesnt look right in any pics dead on fron the front or the back. it never does the car any justice.

mad props on the custom work! bet it was a pain in the ass!

97Acura3.0CL: Yea, I was hella fuckin pissed when I found out they were only cut, but that's only what I've HEARD. The punk ass idiot who own the car before moved away, so I never had the chance to ask him about it. I'm kinda surprised too, cuz I've been takin some corners REAL hard and no problems so far (it's been more than a year that I've had this car). MAYBE they aren't cut after all. Nah, I'm not the person you're thinkin of. I've never even heard of Dave and Busters, let alone even been to a meet before! I will be at the Feb. 7 meet still depending on if I get that day off, which is very likely. I TRIED to get some pics of the output from inside the car, but I'm tellin you, this camera is fuckin GARBAGE!

VXCL: 1.3 mega pixels outta this weak ass camera, good thing I ain't the one who spent money on this POS (it's my friends, I think he told me it was almost $400)! Don't worry everybody, I'm gettin a new 4 mega pixel digi on Sunday so I'll have some GOOD pics the night I get it. Maybe I'll go get some ambers too, just to see how they look.

lol shouldn't you make sure you don't get evicted instead of worrying about the digi cam? The projectors look awesome by the way...
