I couldnt decide between the yellow and the blue initially. Yellow is something I plan to get in near future.

Thanks for the offer. Just may take you up on it

Evenings or weekends would best for both I assume.

Yeah just hit up me or him and you'll be on the road with some fogs in no time. I'm still running the oem 03-05 headlights with the Nokya 2500k or whatever it's called and it looks great, no more of that ugly halogen amber look.

Thank Much To DTran (Tom) for helping my out completely with the H4 swap. In addition he gave me some ideas to consider for my near/future mods.

Thank You, very much for your time and help on this mod.

Thanks to others who offered.

PIAA Intense White

He suggested that I upgrade my HID to 5000K and go with the Yellow Fogs

Sounds like a great idea.

I would probably buy the PIAA Yellow.

He also suggested that I convert the Headlight to the Projector type lens. That would be great, but I need to figure out where and how to get that done. Headlamps are costly, and I do not want to replace my headlight comepletely unless I could sell my originals for decent money.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I went with yellow and they definitely help in weather. I have 8000k bulbs in my reflector housing and I cannot see AT ALL. Only reason why I even went with 8000k is so that it matches my LEDs.

With the reflector housing I'd recommend no higher than 6000k.

People say projector housing is probably the best way to go when it comes to improving your lights. I do not know how much it costs to do a projector retrofit. Also since you're a sedan you can't buy the coupe projectors and the sedans never came with projectors.

There is this one company that is very new on the forums and I believe they may sell projector headlights for the sedan, not 100% sure off of memory, but there has been no reviews yet so not sure if you should go that route, plus they are about $900.

Really in order to get a retrofit, you'll probably need to send off your headlights to somebody in another state because I don't think anybody in GA does that sort of stuff, at least to my knowledge, so your car will be undriveable for a while.

I'm always glad to help, it was nice to finally meet Terrance and Essen. I hope to meet others soon.

I recommend

Lightwerkz: http://www.lightwerkz.net
The Retrofit Source: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/

as far as retrofitters. I really recommend either buying an extra set of headlamps, or just have time to deal with the down time it would take to do the retrofit.
