welcome mate very nice del sol u got there keep it clean:D

I likes!

Very nice,the del sol always looks sexy and different.

ahhh that looks great Derek!
Love the clean Red. Please excuse my ignorance but what is an EL dial?
did you install the HIDs yourself?

EL Dial is sth like....THIS LOL
yes i did that myself with my little asian hand,
not being offensive but i promise big hands can't do the job unless they take the bumper and lights off (specially the passenger side)
btw they are normal bulbs only, not xenon and anyway i don't think there're any room to place the ballart...

very cool, i want one of these for my next car

mine is 5000k bulbs
if u want more bluish effect 6000k is suggested :)
anyway if i m not on tight budget, i'll go for philip's diamond vision,
they're far better in every aspect and quality is guaranteed (Y)

Apparently EM1 lip fits the Del-sol OEM bar quite well.

My friend had one his Del-sol.

This might help you if you're taking a look at lips.


Welcome btw.
