Default 2 new mods...

Ok I figured out how to post a picture...

I installed a smoked windscreen and an 8000k HID kit.

Here's a pic of windscreen and gauge cluster off:



Testing light:



Windscreen installed:



Everything installed:



And for all you HID haters, I aimed the beam down to not blind traffic...

Yes it is slightly taller than stock. I acually like it more that way. Its not too tall either. Price was good too, less than $30 shipped from hong kong.

I run F3 body work on my F2 and am currently running an Airstream double-bubble windshield. Great to hide behind but terrible to look at. Don't think I will ever get on of these again. Just my 2 cents.

I was toying with idea of the taller screen myself (actually called a touring screen here), I think it looks good, boy the price was right to. The one's here are 3x that price.

I'm definitly planning on doing both of these things to my 95. Still need to get it the plastics out of the paint shop though. I'll post pictures. Was there anything involved in the HID swap other then just poppin out the bulb and putting the new one in?

Yes there's a bit more you have to do then just swapping bulbs.

You will have to find a place to mount the ballast. I got the kit with a thin ballast, not the thick ones. Most people zip tie it to somewhere i decided to mount it under here.



I used high grade 3m double sided sticky tape. This thing wont go anywhere. Not sure if it gets hot at all but the wind will keep it cool if it does.

I recommend taking off windscreen and gauge cluster to get to change the bulb, made the job A LOT easier. I tried to install HID kit before that and couldn't so really its a must.
