[QUOTE="Veloc, post: 1063702917, member: 92511"] Hmm... Since this discussion so hot, I post some pic of what I did last time la.. I didn't want to post before this because I had little pics. Was too into doing it and forgot to snap. So, sorry for the lack of pics guys... Here goes... First step, get good HIDs! Magnetic double beam HIDs... Get some aluminium sheets from hardware shop. A metal cutter as well. [img]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=400462[/img] Cut out the approximate size that you need for the glare shield. use the original glare shield as a reference.
