Looks very nice! Good job so far! 

Can I have one question? Can you make a photo of the light beam from the low beams on your headlights? Also, if possible, a daylight picture of the halo rings lit up? Many thanks!

[Flibbib]

Cheers mate :)

Unfortunately the rings are very very weak. I'm yet to find a replacement bulb as they seem to be a first-party cheap chinese one, that close up photo is actually them turned on in the day :(

I'll take a picture later of the normal headlights on down a dark country lane, there's loads round here :)

That's quite shame. Aren't they just plugged through some resistors or something? (Non electrical guy here, so please excuse my maybe dumb Q)...there should also be some diodes in the upper side of the headlights, two on each side I believe. How bright are they? What type are they? I'm generally curious about the headlights, I finally found someone who actually uses these, I'm thinking about buying maybe an used pair just for fun and tune them up a little...just for shows, meetups and so on...

Btw, if I may add some words on upcoming mods, consider adding wheel spacers. 20+20mm in the front, 25+25mm in the back. If you're planning to keep current wheels. Also, some lowering springs. Eibachs are probably most used, quality is great and it with the spacers it REALLY makes a difference on the stance of the car.

Looking forward to see the output pics, cheers!

Lowering definitely needs to be done I agree, going to look at springs in the new year. Want to get hold of black snowflakes off an ST too as loads of people seem to write them off around here :/ 

The bulbs are a t-shape, no idea what they are. They're just spliced through a connector block into the sidelight feed, no resistors or anything at all. The bulbs are just crap.
