Question for LA/OC county Residents

Okay.. my SUV (Honda Pilot) currently has those ugly yellow lights.. I bought some 10k HIDs and when i mounted everything, the light went up too high.. What do i need to keep the light level down so i dont get pulled over?

Also, does anybody know any performance/styling shops.. I used to go to "DV8 Styles" but they closed down..
Yes i have searched and searched, but could not find an exact solution..

I have an '04 Pilot.. Thanks for your support..

If you wanna stop by where i live and check my Pilot and '01 TL out, feel free to msg me on my aim.. SN: Sik Shot I

I live in between the Old McD's and Stonewood Mall..

Thanks again AZine! - Sorry if this doesnt go here.

check your owners manual to adjust the headlight down some. Plug and play HID kits will always throw off a lot of glare regardless.

All you need to do is a lot of search, for parts, accesories, wheels, ect. BTW I found a set of chrome 02-03 wheels the other day but didn't have cash with me so I'm going back this weekend to get them. Is 300 a good price?

tinting

go down Beach blvd.. you'll see bunch of places that do it..

lowering...

go buy springs and then come ask me.. or.. go buy coilovers and come ask to me to install..


performance.. what exactly.... cold air? you want my K&N drop in filter for $40? used it for a week for the stupid ATLP dyno...

you want a dynomax resonator in place of your stock mid muffs and stuff?? $30.. what do you exactly want...
