Slim, How do you keep them aimed ? Just the side screws tight?
Yes just the side screws make them tight but don't strip it, you just place your thumb on the top of the lense and adjust it how ever high or low you want. Also, did you seal the three little holes left by the rivets?
I placed a peice of electric tape over it. I'm glad you like them, What do you think of the brightness? No more use for headlights right

The PIAA's are no good..hehe They make my headlights yellow and wimpy.  Now have to upgrade the headlights... Will this mod madness ever end?  The side screws aren't enough to keep them aimed. The bumper opening keeps pushing them down below where I want them. I am going to figure out a way to use the bracket off the original lights (cut the part out and pop rivet to the PIAA housing or something like that) so the aim remains where I put it. They are bright enough that you don't need headlights for sure.

Is w. milford in south jersey?I am interested... Wanted better headlights before the 510s, now it is obvious how weak the stock lights are... West Milford is about as far north in NJ you can get. I have to drive south to get to northern NJ.

As soon as i get the hids installed I'll PM you. I got my HID's installed. I need to install my PIAA 510 soon. (I was part of the first group buy) I haven't had the time to install them yet. But The HID's are a breeze to install and let me tell you, they are beautiful (i just ran out of words to describe them). I need to install the PIAAs so I can have more light right in front of the bumper. Say the first 20 feet. After that the HIDs take over Later,

When installing, did you guys need to do any rewiring? Looks like my OEM wires will not connect with the PIAA's on my 95 LX.
Just curious if everyone had to do this.
Thanks,
