half blind? thats the Bright light hole. i'll still have both HID's, and the high beams are useless with HIDs

i actually took the headlight cover off to see if i could clean the grime and realized that there are a ton of scratches on it that wont come off so this will be an extra headlight.

nifty. you can use any form of RTV, liquid gasket or JBWeld to seal it.

sick... I'd use blue permatex, but make sure to rough up the area you're going to glue to with the dremel. Also, using * a little * gorilla glue to hold the actual piping in place wouldn't be a bad idea.

btw, are you painting the inside of that black? if so, you probably want to use a 1-step black like a dupont "trim black" or something.. will likely adhere better, and it levels pretty well if you need to touch it up.

thanks for the recommendations Frank, i was going to call you the other night and see if you could stop by and we could knock this thing out... but i couldnt find your # anywhere. And now i see its in your sig..

and yeah the inside will be painted black to match everything.
