Im not the most mechanically inclined so this ranked on the frustration scale right up there with the short shifter. As with the short shifter though, 2nd time around would be much smoother.

I painted the corner bulbs with silver high temp paint. Here are some pics, not like you havent seen euros before.

This is the only spot where the painted bulb seems a bit dim, but as you can see from just a slightly different angle its not too bad

Overall, well worth the frustration. Im still working on getting them aimed correctly, but thanks to the advice of others did get the leveling motor in properly.

Default Leveling is a PITA. get another S4 buddy. Park next to each I think 25ft

from wall and do the alignment. That part is easy. Just annoying. Looks great. Just adds that edge to the car having them on. Especially on a darker car.

Default nice dude. looks sweet. me want.

So is the "look" of your car complete now, or you still want rims for that?

I might get the autospeed DTS with my winter wheel purchase. % wise compared to the SS, how much does the DTS help? Did you have any warranty concerns with the DTS? Im researching that now. Thanks dude.

BTW Im getting 17 x 8.5 SSR comps w/ S03's

Default You don't *need* to align them. :-P

Matt has every crater on the moon memorized (from driving around with mis-aimed Euros). Tee hee! =)

Default I got your back KJ.......

Mark, you don't wanna go there. Ed gets scared and pee's his pants everytime he sees any silver car, even a silver hyundai. Ed won't even show up at the autox cuz he knows silver is faster than all the other S4 colors including black. :P

If you want a taste of what Ed's been having, bring it on!!

That goes for you to Jason!
