Hey guys, I finally put projectors on my car. It may look a little ghetto, but I love it though. :) Enjoy!

now do the "all light" mod on www.evlls1.com/ls1.html and you'll have it going. makes it so you have have your highs on at the same time as your lows and fog lights.

wish i could do that mod to my truck but the fog lights on my truck are brighter than the high beams anyways =) esp. after today.. putting silverstars in

I got a set of the sealed-beam xenon-charged lights from Eurolights a couple years ago and I couldn't be happier. Los, His, and fogs... complete set. I still need to do that "all lights" mod, though.

I have the write up for that mod, and it sounds like a bitch!

It's looks like it came out really nice. Is there a write up for that mod anywhere?

Looks nice, I agree with Redphoenix1998...make some covers so that only the projectors show and it will be even better.

I just ordered the 4351/4352 sealed beam conversions from EuroLights with xenon-charged bulbs.

They have hid kits too that supposedly plug into their housings. My only fear is that actual hid's will overheat the stock wiring? How is your stock headlight wiring holding up with the hid's? For now I will just run the xenon-charged bulbs, but I would like to eventually go to hid.

The all lights MOD is freaking ridiculously easy, takes 20 mins. tops.
HIDs are not illegal as long as you do it right, like have a cutoff sheild so you're not obliterating everyone's vision when you drive by.

all light mod www.evlls1.com/ls1.html =)

Wondering would this work for Camaros? And how could I just get my high beams and low beams to be on at the same time when I turn on the high beams? Not the fog lights. And can I find pictures of the install, along with a writeup :D?!

And why would you do that? So you can be another one of those assholes with a truck that shines their lights in your hatch and nearly blinds you?

Hopefully you mean for offroad purposes. :think: :yup:

I have the 4 headlight mod and fog mod done to my z-28. I originally did it because I ran blackouts on the headlights and it really reduced the amount of light.. Now I never use it unless Im on a rural road and scouting for deer so they dont end up thru my windshield :P

Heres a shot of the mod with blackouts over the headlights

So Anyone do the "all light" mod yet on a camaro? Just wanted to know before I possibly fuck something up.

EDIT: Ok, so I did the "all light" mod and not "all lights" came on... Just the fog lights came on when I switched to high beams... if you know how to correct this, please let me know! :)

I did this ~3 years ago. You have to go under the dash by the steering wheel colum and make a jumper wire between two wires there. This will make the high beams come on and not turn off the low beams. I wired a switch into mine and hit it inside the dash as well. Wish I could help more!

actually hid retrofits are illegal. its been deemed by the nhtsa (correct spelling?) and are no longer dot legal. that didnt stop me from doing mine though. :usa: seriously though, when aimed correctly, and installed properly, there isnt a huge glare problem. the problem starts with people using 6000k bulbs and higher. the blue light produced from these bulbs are what screws up your night vision. also, using a hid bulb in a halogen housing also is a major cause of glare. when done correctly though by using components designed for hid use you can get just as good of a result as a manufacturer.

I did the mod. It worked out great for me. It's not that bright, even with all 4 headlights on. I've accidently left them on and passed people without them letting me know that my high beams were on. Very simple. I followed Evil's writeup. I makes a big difference.

Could you post pics and how you did it. Without pics, I get lost :D. I also read Evils writeup... I got lost.
