I like my car *shrugs*
Im a lil disappointed in the engine tbh. It takes a rather big kick to get it going in the right direction but its fun to drive i prefer the look of a BJ over a BA, i like BP over FS/FP.

Kris, im not interested how fast I can go in a straight line, but moreso when I get to the turn
My replacement Ballast for HID's (which works ) And weatherstrips for my car! Unfortunately they have sent me the weatherstrips for a protege, and not an Astina as stated on the auction, so I have sent off an email to see if they will do a replacement with just the rears, as they are unusable to me... So in the mean time I did a dummy fit of the front: The HID's are both now in, and fk they are bright!

It's cool with the way they curve around the mirror mount. The last set i imported just ended before they got there, which didn't look so 'integrated'.

I actually thought they tucked under and in the window channel, but this looks a little better for flushness as you said.
Anyways Im happy with them, even if I can only use the front pair, a lot better then paying $200 via yahoo japan!

They are exactly the same as the ones I have on my car Marc, but I bought them new when the car was new in 2003. They cost me $50 for a pair from memory.
Ohh and did you know they were actually made in Brisbane at a place called EGR. |

they are not a very good mob to deal with i emailed them just after purchase to organise delivery address but never ended up hearing from them? so hopefully you actually hear back from them otherwise the both of us may have to put in a complaint to ebay.

I actually think they have been good to deal with, this was an email I received on Monday (and I only paid for them on at 12am friday morning of last week)

oh hell yeah, I took the car for a run down the highway about an hour ago, really bright, although it took me 3 times to line up my lights, plus having the drivers side bulb clip broken makes alerations ever more awesome
Best $95 I have spent

I reckon keep the fronts and go partial refund. The fronts are practical, and will be used at least. Unless you're a ricer, and were just in it for the looks.

Gav you know how I like my rice, and thats steamed! In all seriousness I do use the rear windows believe it or not, so yeah there is some practicality of getting the rears...
Another idea I have just thought of is would a protege owner (looks at orion & ice 88 ) want to go in and get a full set from the states, and just swap the rears over when they arrive? That way no one really loses out
