Hey guys, now onto my 3rd eseires, after my white ef futura got writen off and then the green el futura poooped itself.

So was in need of a new car, had to be an Eseries as i have so many parts now from all the other buckets ive owned now.
Came apoun this standard EF GLI for $1000 with the rwc, couldnt complain as the body was alot straighter than the last car and was a manual which id been trying to find :)
Within a couple of days i had swapped all interior from the old and bolted it into the new.
As most cars, a project will never be finished so upto this day im still continuing on finding things for it.

So this is its rundown at the moment:

T5 manual + J3 Chip
CVE worked head/ Custom Crow Cam
EF tickford kit
Full el xr interior
el xr streering wheel
black dash
blue l.e.d dash globes, el police cluster with white ef needles
3:45 LSD
lowered on king s/l
DF LTD wheels
Slotted rotors
2 1/2 inch sport exhaust system
el fairmont side door moulds with clear side repeaters
rear window venetains
ef fairmont boot spear
Angel eyes and HID converison
kenwood headunit/ speakers/ sub ect

What have you used for the chrome strip at the 1/4 panel windows? I got some chrome weather strips but they only go up to that (had to cut it a bit short to fit properly)>.

Are those your parkers or low beams in the OP? If low beams, what kind of globes did you use?

Original Post/Poster :P

How do you find the light spread with HIDs in standard ef lights? Was thinking about getting a set from eBay and chucking them in with white led parkers but worried the light spread might blind some drivers?
