Default Did a little work

Did some work on the car. Put the brass gears in the headlight motor, adjustable lcas, new brake lines all around, fixed header gasket, list goes on.

Anyways here's a few visual changes that also took place.

HID Foglights:



A little freshening up:

Whered you get the HID kit for the foglights? I have an HID kit but it wont fit. It only fits my Dodge. I want to HID in the fogs and leave the headlights alone for now.

This the one I used:

Just remember that the pigtail from your harness to the ballast plugs up backwards from the clip fitment.

Thats almost the same one i have for the dodge except its an H4 bulb and the ballast is a little bigger. I tested them on the camaro and the bulbs work, but of course the housing did not fit. How did you get the 9006 bulb in there, is it a lot smaller? Or did you fab up your own housing for the fogs?

It's an 880 bulb no fab needed.

So the foglight harness will plug right in?

Yes but you have to plug it in 180 out the for them to work. If egay is last resort type "880 slim hid kit" into amazon.com search bar. You'll pay more for the same thing but that's your choice.
