    Yep. Front heads are already installed. The toughest part for radarrob and I were finding the damn hole in the firewall as it was hiding behind some thick fabric.

    Going to see if I can figure out how to take tail lights off but its too damn cold today.

    At least you finally found it. I gave up after two days and just routed it through the fender and door.

    That's one good thing about the BMW M3 (your nemesis) - big area in the engine bay that has instant firewall access, and all you have to do is remove the glove box to get the wire. Really easy to do, I've never seen it easier on any other car I've looked at yet.

    i hate firewalls. i almost went with a electric drill with a 3 inch bit to drill the dam thing. after 1 hour trying to cut firewall fabric finally decided to cut the rubber near the left side of firewall.

    O man...... Here we go again. I just bought a '08 Acura TL Tech Package. Got a pretty good deal so I couldn't pass it up. Traded in my wife's car, and she upgrades to my Honda. I'm taking off my two LI heads from the Honda, and am going to put all four of them up front. I feel with this car, 4 regular LI heads are needed up front. What do you guys think?

    Can a mod embed the pic for me pls? Thanks.

    BTW Rob, I'm gonna do this install myself, but ya think you'd be willing to test it for me when I'm done?

    Also, where in the world do I mount heads in the rear?

    Front aint to bad, backs a ***** though, Blue is ideal if you can figure out how to magically suspend them there, if not red.

    What do you think about putting two in the front grill, and another two by the fog lights? I'd rather not have to take the lights off in the front.

    If you don't mind putting four heads on the front, that will work great. Respect for considering it. That's the way I will go on my front end when I get an HP for my rear.

    Yep. Thats what I'm contemplating. I just dont think 2 regular heads will give me "full" protection. I'm wanting to put all four of my regular heads up front, and then buying the HP Dual in the hopefully nearer future. I'm gonna have to save up for them, as I've already spend a ****load of money lately. BTW, got a freaking 2.9 financing deal for 60 months. I'm only paying under 1600 in interest.

    If I mount two in the grill, as close to lights as possible, and two on the bottom part right next to the fog lights, will I pretty much get JTG even under 100 feet "every" time? Also, if I buy Dual HP LI for the rear, and put them inside of the blue, will it give me ample rear protection?
