im biased towards SE tips.

Got my HID Fogs in, they were a pain in the ass but definitely worth it.

My phone doesn't take good night pictures so this picture looks like the ones previously posted haha but here it is anyways.

where'd you get those? i want some in 3000k

ummm eBay Xentec. Actually pretty good quality ballasts and they look great. I have 8000k. PITA to install though took me 3 hours. I didn't end up using the relay harness either.

three hours? damn lol. i had my housings out pretty easy. 35-watt bulbs melted my housings 3000k will be that laser yellow color, jdm yo

oh ... great I was told they wouldn't melt them.

it was ok until they burnt out. they got melted together, so the only time i noticed was when i had to change them. which with the sylvania silverstars i had, was about every three months. kinda pissed me off that a 25 dollar bulb only lasted that long, but HIDs should last a lot longer

Haha apparently thats only second gear, I will redo in third!!

Yep, I screwed up, I officially hate my car. Going about 32 in a 25mph zone, I merged over where this blue pt cruiser is, because a ford explorer was approaching, seen below: I merged about 5-8 feet ahead of the PT



I applied the brakes, slowly and nothing happened. I push all the way to the floor, and I just start sliding (I could feel ABS working) brakes just weren't doing anything. Here is what I was sliding on I guess:




To prevent a head-on collision, i manage to get to the left a little. Here is the collision damage on the car I hit:





After the collision, my car kept a going, I bounced off the malibu, and the brakes were still not working, I go over someones curb and up on to their yard, where I finally come to a stop. Kind of over here:



I back off the lawn and park. Get out of the car and this "witness" is calling the police. The grand daughter of the car I hit was cool, she said it was no big deal. The lady that called the police had no business doing so, because I got out and said I was fine.

The "witness" told the officer I was going way too fast, which led to me getting a ticket. The officer believed me more, but still had to do so. He said I could call him into court and they would give me a traffic impedement (I believe) which is a fine but has no points.

The officer forced me to get it towed, even though I lived 2 blocks away.

This is how it stands now in my backyard:






^^^ Inside bumper cover

I believe one of the wheels doesn't turn when you turn the wheel, which is just splendid.

I feel like such an idiot. But this car has been nothing but trouble for me, I don't know how long it will take to repair, or how much its gonna cost. If I get it all fixed up etc. who knows how long I will want to keep this piece of ****.

P.S. some b1tch ran over both my headlights afterwards and drove off.
Thanks for reading.

That sucks man

Oh man that sucks. Might be worth just getting another and transplanting anything of value. Sell what ever you can.

I know what it's like to have screwed up. Sucks that someone else got involved making a bad situation worse. At least. I one was hurt. Except the poor GP

gp's are cheap enough. part it, get another one.

idk wtf u were thinking trying to brake in that leafstorm.

Damn... and the ****, she ran over your headlights? That's just some bull****.

Oh BTW no one was harmed!

I truthfully didn't think it was a hard collision, thought I barely felt it, but I'm feeling it now.

Odi I've gone over this many a time, cars are too expensive here

I have no money for a new one.
