lol yeah. Not really much point with mine. Mine is only a low beam kit. But i will take one from inside the car with both so you can see the difference between high and low beam, it's quite funny.

For those concerned with the legality of the kits there perfectly legal you can have lights as bright as you want its just the aim of them that you can get in trouble for. They have to be a certain height and not be in the eyes of oncoming cars. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Haha thanks mate. Doors are getting re-pained and the window surrounds are going black. Is it a satin black or a gloss black?

Not sure what they were from factory.. but either way they're all satin now, faded. Both of mine had the black rubbed back a bit in a few places and they were showing grey, so I sprayed them gloss black (with **** paint though, so it's not all that glossy)

^^pretty sure they were satin. Every stock calais I've ever seen has satin. Gloss looks better though. Makes the car look fresher.
