Spent almost 2 hours at UPS today in Voorhees NJ, Early Christmas and a nifty surprise Options

[Fastbird]

For four little boxes of goodness packed in two bigger boxes of happiness. Projectors are here. These things GLEAM when taken brand new out of the box. But......got a nice surprise today too. Included with the projectors was aparrently the projector bulb (there's a couple of prongs sticking out the back of the housing which I can only presume is the bulb, H1 right) AND.............that oh so hard to find side marker bulb/housing was in each side's respective lens. All I've got to do is locate the proper harnesses (which from first look seems to be a packard weatherpack connector which would be great cause I've got a source for them).

So the wife gets to see them (it's a psuedo christmas present for her) and all she had to say is "Oh my god the cars going to look sooooo f***ing hot with those."

Now, a couple of questions. I'm going to upgrade all the lighting bulbs in the front of the car. Fogs and highs specifically, with either a good PIAA or Sylvania Silverstar bulb. IS the bulb that came in the projectors going to be white enough so as not to look odd next to the upgraded highs or fogs, or should I just pony up the cash for a new set of H1's also?

HID's while lusted for, are out of the question right now. I just committed to a $3500 bill to get new carpet put in our house so we can sell it easier.

I'm going Silverstar H1 for the lows, Silverstar Ultra 9005's for the highs, and Silverstar H3ST for the fogs.

Sadly, I do not have time to do the conversion to the headlamps for now. Once we're set up in Illinois in about three more months, the car will be in the garage and I'll be able to pull everything apart with a little less constriction on time so I can do things right. I would really like to do it this week, but I need the lights to the body shop by the end of the week and I have a final for my Statistics class due tomorrow.

Speaking of the conversion, from the pics I've seen, it looks like it would be easy to get in there and put in the plate for the cutoff, but at the same time, grind down the low cutoff on the right side to give it the proper upswing for LHD cars. A dremel with a cutoff tool (not wheel) and a flex extension looks to be all that's needed.
