Hummmmm thanks guys, i was thinking about it, but i think i will rock the chrome for awhile since all three items are brand new...i took them out the box the other day to see the shine on them and they look sweet!!!!...maybe after i see what it looks like when shes all back together i might make a decison..

Opps did i just say i had brand new grille and bezels....Stay Tuned

Since im getting all new front parts for the mally, i want to change the front headlights?

What ya'll think...with these since they are glass not plastic i can change the bulb to an H.I.D setup later on down the line..

Man dont mess with those ebay housings and kits bro. All my dawgs that use em have problems. They may be a lil better now but id go with I know works for sure...Hit up hidgeeks.com or ddmtuning.com for you lighting needs. H-4 kit in 6000k or 8000k.(the higher the "K" the more blue the output. Dont do like 12,000!-pull over range) H4 housings. I had a 35 watt 8000k kit in the el(Mel has em now) and MAN!! Nice! Yearone.com has the housings that fit in out headlight buckets without any modification. I got mine from a homie here on the site. I searched the product number and found the same housings at yearone. The ebay housings NEVER fit. You end up having to modify the buckets which can be a pita to reinstall... I have a how to vid up that mel followed and now he's blanging like a star!

Looking good on the powdercoat too fam!!

THANKS BIG BRO'S... :wink:

Just cked out the websites, and the HID kits are not that bad on price range...i just might go that route...but i did notice that they dont have the lens housing? Do i have to get the housing on ebay ( the website i posted ) then put the H4 HID's in the housing (headlight)?

Will this same HID kit and conversion headlamp fit on the 87 regal? Been thinking about going this route as well..esp since that 307 is coming out in a week or two and i'ma have all that room to walk around inside the engine bay getting it right before i get the short block back from http://www.1stplaceengine.com/
