I would love to see the Zizas compared to HIDs beside each other for comparison. It's highly likely they're better I've just always used the eBay HID kits with great success so I just stick with them.

As for the blue:

You would need those and I'm sure they carry the festoon type for the dome light.

Had a random spurt of awesome weather today and hopefully the next few days so got a wash/wax in. To top it off, the mail lady and UPS guy brought some presents. Looking at a fun weekend ahead of fixing oil leaks and upgrading the suspension(again).
Ran out of light so crappy garage pics beware.

Where did you cut yours? I've heard you can cut a hole where the seats fold up and sit against the interior plastics but I haven't had a chance to look closely yet.

Quickest and easy change to improve sight and seeing things on the inside.

Replaced the suspension for the second time in a month, but I'm definitely happy with how the Koni's turned out. Had a little hick up here and there with the hilariously vague instructions and ended having to get a spring compressor finally, but all in all it went relatively smooth.
For some reason I completely forgot to get a shot of the whole car but I took a few for informational purposes just in case anyone is ever doing the install and is a bit ignorant on the process(as i was..) since I figured these would just be a plug and play application so to speak.
TSW springs on Koni yellows. Would recommend.
Crazy little washer that I had to look up its function but it apparently keeps the piston from bottoming out and damaging the seal if you were to run in to a huge bump or have the dampening to soft I suppose.
Rear top hats and the large washer won't work without a little modification. The hole is 10mm and it needs to be widened to 12mm. I didn't have a metric drill bit set so a 1/2 drill bit will work just fine.
Both top hat and washer drilled out to fit. Perfectionists please excuse the holes as I had to do all of this by hand since I don't own a drill press. I smoothed the holes out with a dremmel so that's the little run away trails you see.
