considering how hard he hit, doesnt seem that bad on the outside

1. & 2. Looking at around 200-300 per a good set of lights, fitting wouldn't be too much, but im sure you can find or make a friend that can help, its not hard.
3. yes you can use hid for the fogs too
4. everyones been though it, but basically no they are not legal on your car, doesn't stop us though, i have a pair. reason is that the glare from the lense will blind others, the euros have auto cleaning/auto height adjusting units. I aimed mine lower to help the glare problem, but their still hugely bright.
5. only the new 07 corollas have hid as an options from factory in australia
6. mounting the ballast is the longest bit, if your using a battery harness maybe another 20 minutes or so to run it, but less than an hour all up in the hardest cases. (my ballast had the tendency to ground themselves :( so i had to cover it in tape)
if ya search theres way more info floating around

I did it myself
Here goes:
They came unpainted so I had to sand it down, and prime it, 3 layers of primer and alot of sanding!
Then 2 layers of some Random Red I found at home, couldnt be bothered leaving the hosue
It's Centre Red, turned out to match the colour of my car pretty well, i would of done more layers but i ran out of paint.
Last came 3 clear coats with sanding in between to get a smooth finish, pretty happy with it, just got annoyed i was doing it outside so dust and glass did fall onto them. You can see that i did one better than the other...
Mounting tape, this stuff is actually pretty strong!
Final product
Use a rough sandpaper when its raw to smooth it out, but before you prime it swtich to a finer one, give it a wet sand with some really fine paper between coats.
try to do it when airtemps are not so cold, the paint comes out more even
i did this when i was sick at home one day, turned out pretty good, i would of left it as is, but had a little bump a few days later and the panel beaters repainted it for me

colour can you update the title with the meet date and location? :)
what do others think about what i put forward?
-
true true
how bout we plan a path with a few stops? might drag on abit to around 7-8? but this lets people meet and go when they need to
ie. meet at around 2pm kick back say hi
then between 3 to 4 head off towards yarrabend stop for a photo op at one of the very steep carparks
then at the end of yarrabend jump onto the eastern and take it the full way onto eastlink, maybe some stops on the way?
after that whatever
-
can go block up lygon or hit up yarrabend
-
im should be there, unless im kidnapped by aliens

i got my aftermarket pre-facelift set of foglights from eBay and got them installed during the week,
all in all, very happy with the result.. Just one negative though, the in dash switch that came with the kit is always illuminated. Day and night. anyone know the reason for this ?
anyways, here is the link, seller's name is Nick;

Cars flatter in corners, but more bouncy, sucks :(
Coil overs soon!
i'll have my Stivo for this... YEAH! Hopefully on a set of wheels... and its a massive stretch.. but with Kings and KYB'sJust a side note... How do the stock O3 Shocks take to beeing lowered in King Lows?

might i suggest you organise a date with the place, somewhere around 2 months ahead.
then post it up and get people to come
but talk to the place hosting it and let them know that you will onlly come if have numbers, im sure they'll be fine with it seeing as its a weekend.
its easier that way rather than trying to get a date to fit everyone, its not the end of the world if you miss out.

west side bruva!

i didnt know that about the rear
no idea about that then :D
-
i think you cant get sea foam in australia
-
not too hard, just need the right tools
a breaker bar helps heaps
unless you want to die, then yes get a spring compressor,
you'll also need it to get the hats on properly for the fronts, unless your going super low
-
i'll probably try and get something up over the weekend, i just did it a few days ago and took photos while i did it.
