    When uploading with imageshack you can just copy the Forum Link #1 Into here and the pic will show up, instead of copying the direct link.

    Nice job with the blackout btw ;p

    i found this stuff that i found at value. it worked pretty well. didnt take very long to dry either. i just stuck it in the hole, waited for it to dry, then sanded it down with like 600 grit sandpaper till it was flush with the plastic. didnt wanna put plugs in it cause i wasnt a big fan of how it looked. i think this was is alot cleaner looking. this is the stuff...

    the headlights are 8000k and the fogs are 3500k.

    i bought the hid kits on ebay. they were like 50 bucks a piece, the price was cheap but they havent failed me yet, the ballasts are waterproof and everything too, which you should watch for too if buying them off ebay cause not all of them are.
