Another small detail for my interior as it seems my interior is pretty boring and stock. This will also of course help me monitor my boost levels. Install wasn't too bad except for the stupid vampire clips which did not work. I didn't have my camera on me so I don't have a lot of nice pictures of the install, but I did have this new fancy thing called a Phocus for my iPhone which allows you to use lens attachments on the phone's camera (Will be posting more about this later).

Here are a few pictures from the install I was able to grab:









I am very happy with the end result, the match is spot on and is a nice little touch to spruce things up. I was able to hit ~20psi so it seems to work properly and I don't have a leaks. Looks really nice in the light...





and at night/dusk....

Decided to splurge a little recently and purchased a 3000k HID conversion for my fogs along with some 15mm spacers from 42DD to help with the lack of offset with my winter wheels. HID conversion came in today and I threw it on!

Before pictures with standard yellow Nokia halogen bulbs and OE projector fogs:





and this is the kit I bought from Ebay for $30!





and this is a side by side (Xenon passenger side, Halogen driver's side)



All installed pictures











They are BRIGHT as **** and do the cool warm up like my headlights. The are very green on initial startup and warm to a nice yellow with a blue/green hint (not a green looking as the pictures. Passenger side has a bit of a wonky cutoff and the color is noticeably different form the other side. I think I may have gotten a bad bulb. I am going to contact the seller about replacement. Went for a drive and could not be happier with the light output though, stellar. Also might be removing my tint this week....
