Re: new 6000k HIDS Installed

Are those the ROH wheels that look like Impala wheels? They look really good...

Re: new 6000k HIDS Installed

Those looks great. Do those Eurolite housings have the glass front lenses?
Would imagine that makes night driving a little easier now.

Re: new 6000k HIDS Installed

thanks guys.....the euro lite housings are the clear ones i believe they are plastic but seem pretty storng, and those are ROH zr6 wheels similar to the impala, i have one quick question i have 17x8.5 wheels but one of em is dented i found a place today that sells theses exact same wheels except they are 17x9.5 so i was thinkin of pickin up 2 for the back but the guy told me the bolt pattern he has is 5x4.5 for mustangs, would this fit on my car as well since are is 4.75 is that close enough or is it possible i could wide the holes to fit?(i tried searchin)

Re: new 6000k HIDS Installed

if u have the actual HID head lights housings then urs will definetily give u a better beam, u should order a kit but any more than 6k an it will be to bluemy buddy has the 8k on his stang, looks like crap, imo, after driving with these i would nver go back to halogen, u see everything so much better with these, ohh my kit is made by TOP HID, seems like a decent kit they give you a 1yr waranty on it
