My pattern is pretty good. I love them. I get flashed ALL THE TIME. Its so annoying. My lights must be soo annoying to them, though.

One is www.xenonshop.com. I never bought anything from them though. Just do a online search and you'll get a whole bunch of them. There is also www.hitechimportlighting.com, but they're kits are very high quality (Bellof) so they are expensive.

If you're talking about the HID's for $350,
inline-v is from Toronto, not Brooklyn. I can get them for $550 in Brooklyn.

96TL,
You have a very nice set up w/ your car. By the look of the pictures, you have the signal blinkers stay on also. I have a white 97TL. I just got the clear bumpers lense. I have Piaa 194 bulbs superwhiteon the sidemarkers, but they don't seem to be white comparing to my polarg (7440). Can you show me how to wire to have the sinal blinkers to stay on. Any suggestion on how to get the sidemarker to be whiter?

Thanks

I dont have the front signals set up to be on all the time. I had my hazards on in those pics and the camera took the pics while the blinkers were on. Two of those pics came out like that. Try swapping the PIAA's with a set of Polargs. That what I have in the front and they are the most white out of all them. If you want to wire up the front blinkers to stay on all the time and the bumper parking light to flash all you have to do is remove the blinkers. Cut the plugs off, and then switch the wires. Just match up the colors and thats it. It's very easy. I've never seen how it looks so I dont know how nice it will look. You can always switch it back if you don't like it.
