    Yea I dunno what to tell you.. I switched to Osram before I changed the projector and installed new lenses. I even re-aimed the headlights. Now with new projectors I have great nighttime lighting.

      I'll have to look into these, my vehicle came with some very dark tint, I like the looks of the tint but nighttime visibility is quite bad even with bi-xenons.

        I feel the same way bro. I had my car tinted back in 2006. 20% on the sides and rear window 40% entire front windshield. The tint has held up extremely well. It’s partly because I removed door panels and rear panels.

        I’m going to go xpel ceramic tint 35% sides and rears with a 70% windshield.

        Is your front windshield tinted ?

          Front windshield is indeed tinted, not sure of % but quite dark. It's really only an issue at night in the country, I pucker up at the thought of deer..

            Wow! That windshield is dark. Maybe some lighter windshield tint before upgrading the headlights ?

              Yea, that would likely be the best thing, it's borderline dangerously tinted.

                Received my freshly serviced injectors back from R.C. Fuel Injection in Torrance.

                Top end rebuild parts coming in fast now.

                    They did, I started a new thread on here to get opinions actually.

                      Got rid of what appear to be 99k mile original bearings and replaced with ACL.

                        Epoxied and riveted my VinceBar today. Used 3M Scotchweld DP460NS since I couldn’t get my hands on Araldite 2014.

                          Dropped the rear subframe of the track car for a bushing/bearing refresh. Also going to upgrade the diff. I’m getting good at this, out and disassembled in 4 hours 👍.

                            I changed the fasteners for the strut brace, not entirely convinced, let me know your thoughts. I think the OE ones with black caps make it more homogenous
