R52 since we are on the topic of newb...
since we are on the topic of newb...
i've already got one newb thread going, but i have so many more questions!!!!!
My R52 (non xenon) are the worse i've ever seen. I've tried polishing the lenses (slight haze, but not bad) and i still cant see. i've upgraded to a "whiter" bulb, still no help.
Anyone here running aftermarket HID's on non xenon buckets?
I have HID's on my Silverado, and absolutely love them. My only concern is where to mount the ballasts.
I hate my tail lights also. i want amber turn signals. will any other stock tail light with amber turn signals fit my R52 convertible?
and last....rear fog light. i see the kit, but what about a switch for the stock switch cluster where the locks and window switches are?

It might need wiring you will have to check yourself by removing the cap and fishing for a bundle of wires. They are most likely tucked upwards, but if not you will need this aswell.

Depending on your car if you have the DSC switch you will need this switch panel:

Wanted to say, my halogens were aimed way too low when I got my car. Not hard to adjust. It's the inner ones for height, outer ones adjust left and right (I didn't mess with those). Counter clockwise is higher, clockwise lowers (if I remember correctly)
Turn them about a 1/4 or 1/2 turn at a time. Write down how far and which direction you turned it, then go for a drive. Make note of your impressions.
I actually went to an empty parking lot at 1:00am, had some blue scotch tape and a tape measure. Positioned the car exactly 25 feet away from the building (my 90^ screen). I had some PDF instructions for what DOT says about where the light should be, etc. that's on my other computer though. Let me know if anyone wants it.
