2ga 2gb 95 96 97 98 99 conversion bumper [merged]

[Tobuk]

What was the total cost of this conversion? (headlights, painting, bumper, etc.)

The bumper was only $120 shipped on eBay, from a store called Pershing auto.

Lights were ~$140 shipped, and the bulbs they come with aren't bad.

I had the bumper painted by a shop, and the trim added .4 hours of labor, so I think painting was ~$150-200. I'm guessing though, because I had him do a bunch of other work on my car, so the bill included more than just the bumper....

Then just a few hours out of a day to put it on myself.

I removed my stock red one and yes it has an adhesive backing for you to stick it on to the bumper. It's been holding pretty good now for a couple of years.

These are the headlights that the original poster has:
Just do a search on ebay for "eclipse projectors" and pick a seller that you're comfortable with.

thanks thats what i thought, but last night i was looking at my stock red one and i wasnt able to take it off do you scratch it off or what? im afraid to actually scratch the car or something

 

[Tobuk]

Just try to pry up one part of the sticker and then just pull the rest off. Even if you did scratch the bumper, you're just putting another emblem over that right??

Just be ready with some Goo Gone or something to get the sticky stuff off the bumper. Took me several minutes to get it clean when I took the red one off my old bumper.

[Tobuk]

ah great, just my luck.

The night I remember to go take a few pictures, the batteries in my Canon die 5 seconds after I turn it on. I'm off work at 8 tonight (Friday), so I'll have them up sometime tonight when the batteries are charged.

My Apologies

Okay, finally. Here's a picture of the lights when I'm close to a car, like at a stop light or something. Yeah, they are a tad low I know, but they are leveled with eachother.

And the total line as I see it from inside the car. You'll notice the drop that comes from the left projector. Not quite as clean and smoothed out like high end HID projectors, but at least it helps get the light out of the eyes of oncoming traffic.

Also, the hill I'm pointing at is just within the "focal point" of the two lights. If you look closely you'll see where the light from the Left side starts to fade and where the light from the Right side starts in. I have that focal point lined in on where the light beams eventually hit the ground so it looks clean.

do the stock 95-96 fog lights still work with the 97-99 bumper?

No. Two different bumpers, two different set of fogs.
