now it makes sense why I couldn't see at night when I turned the low beams on and I had to turn the foglight switch. I was like wtf.
I guess both bulbs are missing or the left side is a bad bulb. cuz only the city lights turn on when I flip the light switch, and 1 city light doesn't even work!
I was driving just on foglights.

The city lights arent good for anything except people being able to see you when your bulbs are burned out. I just took mine out, nasty yellaw!

Yeah you need some low beam bulbs ASAP

Thats kind of messed up that someone would take out the bulbs before selling the car, bad karma. Maybe they thought they were worth a lot (They cost a lot at the dealer, but what doesnt)

Here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...ducts_id=19006

Note: the reason the only options are 4300K, 5000K, and 6000K is because these are the only bulbs that are good for actually seeing the road.

MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE BULBS IN THE HEADLIGHT WITH YOUR FINGERS! THEY WILL EXPLODE!

okay thanks for the link ha.

so remember I said I ordered fog bulbs 3000k hid simulating bulbs?

the seller set me the correct size.
but they are freaking blue!!!!!
so now I gotta wait for the hid bulbs to get here and the 3000k foglight bulbs too!
I'm just gonna put everything back together till I for sure have the correct parts.
beyond mad.
but anyways. you like my plastidipped wheels?

Pretty obvious...but you'd get the wheel fixed and inspect the tire to make sure it's still good.

Varies on the shop and what needs to be done. Looks minor, looks like inner barrels so no refinishing so I'd say 60 bucks tops.

It seems like they are making throw away accounts, they make a bunch of posts and then never post again.

In that video he removes a piece from the headlight.
But he has a coupe and I like the way the headlights came out!! All blacked out.

On my 04 sedan. If I bake them and I pry them open. Will a piece like his pop out? And if I paint the piece from my headlight, will it look like/similar like his? Thanks.

Yes and yes, you can actually do this to most cars. I have found Gs are forgiving in resealing. Proceed at your own risk, there is a DIY somewhere.

Okay thanks.
And it'll look similar to your right? Because you have the black housing right.

Ill try to find the DIY.

Yes, but do it the right way (no plastidip in headlight)
