The FX has been through a lot in the past few months, got into a accident on the highway when a new corolla decided to give my FX a big kiss in the butt. cracked my whole entire back bumper which almost made me cry ! Been basically sitting in the body shop for almost a month, and I've been stuck with a Mitsubishi Galant the whole entire time (thank god thats over !) Insurance covered the damage so I guess everything turned out okay. I decided to might as well do a few things to the FX since shes seeing some down time, ended up swapping headlights with Sir21 for blacked out ones with the little stripe (which I think looks AMAZING at night time). Added some 6k HID bulbs into them as well, the color is just right at night time, but my knob for raising the light doesn't seem to be working ? the light output seems to be too low then it used to be before. Got my grille repainted too now its more of a glossssssss black instead of just gloss black. take a look at the pictures and tell me what you guys think ! sorry for the crappy pics my HTC HD2 decided it was time to hit the bucket last month also so im stuck using an Iphone 3gs :|

glad it was all resolved and nice front transformation. looking good, need a good wash and a photo session.
 
Looking good! I wonder about the emblem being chrome too, but it looks great the way it is.
 
Lookin' good man but one thing....you tell us that your new headlights look amazing at night, yet you don't post any pics to show us. :hahaha::confused.:

I actually had left it chrome the first time I ever painted the grill, but I don't know something about the all black looks 'right' to me, lol

Looking really good. I personally like the grill emblem chrome. I see your color theme. If you blackout the door handles will be even better.
 
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback ! :)
am still debating if I should plasti-dip my door handles, and chrome pieces.
but at the moment does anyone know how to adjust the headlight ? I've searched and it said something about screws that adjusted the vertical and horizontal lighting but the knob I have inside the FX completely doesn't work nothing moves up and down :|
 
When you move the knob listen under the hood if there is hissing noise. If there is then check your connections. As far as adjusting vertical there is a tan colored plastic adjustment screw with an Allen wrench opening. It's right at the top of the headlight seen through a narrow round opening. Horizontal adjustment is behind the headlight. Somewhere in the middle there is a sunk black rubber round cover. Take it out and that's the adjustment. Don't remember what tool is needed for that.

And yeah. Those are NOT nighttime pics. One can still tan at that time of day
