It doesn't look bad, just different than what you are used to seeing. The increased light output from HID's will make it worth it. What model did you retro-fit those from? What bulbs are you using (ex; 7500k)?

 

Nice work :)

Nice work man, You gotta start somewhere. I like the other posts on making a fiberglass housing that would be an improvement but you got it started now its just improving the looks. Anyways for now the lights are only flipped up at night so you dont see the details you just see the (first that i know of) Talon with hids. That would make anyone that knows about hids turn their head and take a second look.

well thanks for the input (good and bad) thats what i am looking for. i wanna know what people think and get ideas to to what would look better. for now its all going to be black so that it blends in and the only thing you will see is the lense. but keep letting me know what you think.

I think if you paint it all black (including the trim ring to the HID light, and behind were red overspray shows up that you don't have covered) it will look a lot better.

 

A piece of Lexan over everything might make it look better as well.

 

I think HID's would be nice to have on my car, but the work, and more importantly, the cost of doing so isn't worth it at all to me.

thats definetly an idea with the laxan and paint, and i only have 80 bucks in the whole coversion so not really that bad. there were a few freebies though.

yeah i cruised through hooters. i was on my way somewhere and i jsut wanted to cruise through. i will be back tonight though

Maybe adjust them so that they don't open all the way, and put the HIDs in at an angle? Like Monster does with their 1st gen Miata 5.0 conversions. I've never liked pop-ups, they kill your nighttime MPG and just look awkward when they are up.

 

Personally, I'd have integrated the HIDs into the parking light lens, and then filled the hood holes.
