While it may be sacrilegious to say such a thing, I actually prefer the Mazda 6 headlights to those on the 8... Maybe I'm strange...

I love the 8 lights just the way they are. Perfection.

Any one know how to remove the headlights cover? I wanna polish the inside to get ride of the cloudy film. And I'm sure some epoxy available at Home Depot could be used to put em back together right.

The headlights can be opened by baking them the tails have not been opened via baking though after multiple attempts.

I like the double xenon projectors. It would mean adding another set of balasts and projectors of course. I can imaging the upgrade costing 4-5 hundred for the HID set if the work is done yourself.

Through working on them the inside projector will be halogen, and the outer one will be retrofited with a valeo bi-xenon projector. That keeps the same bulb on at all times and just moves the light shield in the projector up which completely opens the projector, instead of half which illuminates the whole street plus whatever benefit comes from the halogen side. The project is going very slow since I have been focused on the tail lights (which I just finished) with an led kit. The lamps are on the back burner at this moment since I have just switched jobs and I am working at both right now=no spare time It will be done soon enough though and I will post the pictures.

while were on the topic of headlights does anyone know what "K" the factory xenon runs at... im buying PIAA bulbs for the parking lights and i have found 6000K.? I have "smoked" the headlights and tailights using black paint...i got a professional painter to do them and the darker they are, the more the xenons show purple. i would think the factory xenons run at 5100K but im not sure.
