yeah there are alignment issues, but i havent really looked into taking care of them yet. this car has too many other problems that need to be solved first.

I need help with my friend's car : 03 3.2 CL

Passenger ballast is shot and been researching that the OEM ballasts are the issue and people have replaced them with an aftermarket HID kit.

Any suggestions to websites/vendors or a local Houston shop to get the install done??

TIA.

I'll let my friend know. You happen to know the brand?

Any shops to get this installed, don't feel comfortable DIY.

TIA.

Lol I just did it over the weekend, really easy. all it is 3m tape. Clean all the area with rubbing alcohol.before you peel the tape make sure you put it on to check fitment, careful it gets really hard when you tape it.
