My little present to myself (745)

745wagon · 01-11-2009, 05:35 PM

Didnt get anything for my car for christmas other than cleaning supplies and wipers so i got these for myself. Nothing big or fancy but i love the look of them.

Bosche pilot 150 amber fogs.
also, hard to tell but i upgraded low beams with silverstar headlights. Also repainted my grille and headlight trim but a recent trip to the ski mountain screwed that up again lol.

They're nice... but looks like they are a little out of alignment.

Yep, using the headlight aimer at school tommorow to fix that.

Silverstars are nice but you're lucky to get more than a year out of them! Maybe you'll have better luck than me but I switched to an H4 conversion lamp that replaces them. Fogs are nice - maybe I'll get some one day!

I picked up a set of Silverstar headlights for Christmas, too! :D It's so nice to go from yellow-ish to bright white.

yep, I am trying to figure out if there are high beam replacement lamps too.

+1 - I have them on the wife's Land Cruiser. We wind up replacing one per year, the driver's side more often than the pass. side.

I'm lucky enough to pick them up on sale before one burns out.
