ROFL between you and me being on here, HIDplanet must get like 2x their normal hits.

lol yeah. oh and with the angel eye rings, i would reccomend using oem bmw ccfl rings instead of led's. you will get a much more even glow from the lights

ZOMG the BMW rings would be orgasmic. Theyre 70 bucks but I think theyre worth it. Promlem is I dont think they would fit in the chuki taillights. If I could get them to fit, I think I might put them around the stock halogen light so theyd come on with the headlights but the halogen would still come on with the brakes. It might be a wiring job but I think its possible.
What does CCFL stand for anyways?

Looking forward to that; my taillights need some love. Actually my whole S13.
As for the sig, I'm no longer proud of the rolling chassis. It's been one for way too long.
