Ebay Projector w/HID & Ion Fogs Installed (Pics)

Components:
Ebay Halo Projector 2nd Gen with eyebrow. (I didn't hook up the Halo rings)
Replica JDM style Ion Fogs
Xenondepot 5000K H1 HID (4 yrs old!! Great quality)

Comments:
Projector w/HID:
-The light is a little dimmer then HID in stock housing, probably because the cheap projector is blue in color instead of transparent
-Pretty sharp cutoffs
-Covers more real estate then stock housing + HID
-Some areas are brighter then the others
-No glare for other motorists
-Doesn't fit perfectly
-Overall, I like it better then stock plus HID. Of course retroffit is still the best, but this setup only cost me less then $300, as I re-used my Xenondepot kit.


Fogs:
-One side is more yellowish then the other.
-Correct harness, can turn on the fogs with just parking light
-Lots of glare.....
-More for look then functionality

Enjoy the pics! I will try my best to answer all questions. I don't think many people have this setup.

light intensity isn't the greatest, but cut-off looks good none-the-less. Enjoy!

There is a small gap near the parking light area.

Yup, I will need to adjust it a little bit.

The bulb itself if clear. The yellow comes from the lenses, and I don't think my lenses are indentical in color.

It does not light up too well.... You can see it better when only the parking light is turned on.. unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of that.

I bought it from "Kazaspeed". I woudn't recommend them as they sent me the wrong item originally, and were very slow responding to emails. Took me almost a month to get my lights after I paid them. Lots of different vendors are selling these lights.

those actually don't look half bad. more pics, maybe closer and without the lights on?

*EDIT* one more thing, did you hook up the eyelids or angel eyes at all? what does that look like if you did?

^^ yea that.

also those lights look really good, almost looks like a 05-06.
one quick question...does the eyebrows (or parking lights) use the same stock 194 wedge bulbs?
