Got a couple questions bro man.
1. Where'd you get the 8000k bulbs? Any problems with cops? I always hear rumors about some "red light blue light law" or something.
2. Did you get matching LED lights for the parking lights?
3. How or WHERE did you get the headlights? Those look pimp. I really want to clean my hazing thats going on with my plastic but don't want to spend the money to buy a new set.
4. How did you do the rear tail lights? Those look pimp. Got more pics of that?
Thats about all I can think of man. Sweet *** setup, glad you're a member. :P Feel free to head up to Waltham sometime if you ever wanna chill.

Hey 8000k bulbs were off ebay actually...a private seller who distributes them, cant remember the ID though. No cop problems so far, theyre almost the same as a lot of mercedes stock HIDs. The inside lights are super bright white leds, i think 6000k matched or something
Made them..split the housing. I made a DIY on the headlights if you want to trace back my threads. As far as the hazing, use the headlight restore kits, they work. All you do is sand w/ 800grit, then 1000, 1500, 2000 then use plastic polish.
Rear taillights are painted w/ stained glass red spray (AC Moore), then clear cloated. With a square taped off to keep the white reverse lights.

No numbers yet.. I tried the Weapon R, a few other custom short ram intakes, and the K&N vr. 2. The HKS one has a protected aluminum box, and with my revi duct seems to get pretty cold air all the time. The K&N one just seems cheap to me, even though the filters pretty good. That heat shield doesnt protect from the heat of the engine very well, and hot days I felt like I was dragging a trailer behind me low end. (By the way I have an auto,not manual unfortunately) The HKS seems like it pulls strong on low end, and top end..also doesnt have that whinny noise.
Havnt tried a true cold air yet, but this ones pretty good in my opinion

Damn man.. very damn nice finaly some competition in MA in terms of looks hehehe.. (gonna get yelled at for that one I'm sure hahaha!)
I love the headlights though.. its what Mazda should of had done with our cars. If my baby wasnt a DD I'd give you mine and pay ya to do the mod since I'm sure I'd blow up/crack/drop/break my own lights lol. How heavy and far out does the Ings go out? Ings and the MintBlue look similar in style and I was debating on which one to get but I got a sweet deal on the MintBlue. Wait is it Authentic????

thanks for the complements man..yup this ones authentic, and sticks out maybe, 2 inches. It took me awhile to decide, i was looking at the mintblue one too.
By the way, if anyone in MA wants their headlights painted we can prob work something out. It would probably take me about a day or two to get them back to you once the paint comes in.

Shakey, drop me a PM or a AIM or something. I'd like to get together to clean my headlight housing and what not if you feel confident enough that you could split it without breaking it. Let me know...Free food and payment for anything usable included.. :P

sounds good ill drop you an IM, maybe next week or something...although you probably dont want to watch the process splitting them open... even though its pretty easy to do, its nerve racking seeing your $250 headlights put in an oven
