Whatever makes you happy... but that DDM quality is bad hence why you can't run it off your OEM lines. Did you really replace matsushita ballasts with DDM ...

Gentlemen don't forget that the most important aspect of your headlights is the light output giving one the ability to see well at night. How they look should be a secondary reason to choose something.....

Light output is there. It just needs an adjustment, it looks like. I'll try to get it done tonight and post a pic.

They have two different versions. One has the inside matte black and the other is all chrome.

The car is gonna end up being black. So the black headlights wouldve been a bit too much. I went with the chrome to give it a little contrast.

Im surprised the paint started peeling...even if it was over chrome. Theres nothing to disturb the paint inside the headlight so once it was dry, I wouldve assumed it would just stay on there forever. What kinda paint did u use?

Ok...took the car to a shop where my cousin works. We got the Tein coilovers and SPC camber arms installed all around. I didnt install the SPC toe bolts in the rear because I dont think I will be needing them with the setup Im aiming for. We adjusted everything to normal specs....gonna drive around a bit to let everything settle. It will all get readjusted again once I get my new wheels on there in about a month or two.
