Looks like a good start!

though I recommend against the 10,000k hid's as your giving up a good amount of light just for the color. The rule of thumb is anything over 4300-4500k and your losing light. Now Im running 6000k and im happy with them.

Retros I definitely recommend as well.
Oh and welcome back!

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

Ya about the 10000k, i changed my order for 6000k bulbs. im just glad the dudes were happy to do it. From what ive seen 10000k get you pulled overalot too. no bueno. Im still trying to find a way to retro fit these bulbs. Anyone have a site that sells retro kits?

***Update on the car***

I installed the headlamps and the HiD kit. They are sooooo clean! I need to try and tuck these wires a bit better though.

I did run into a snag. After the install i noticed that i only have Hi beams and no low beams. Now i DID get a Bi-Xenon kit and the bulbs do* FLASH really quick when i switch from high to low. (flashes low beam.) Is there something that im missing? I did read on a forum that you have to switch the pins from the original headlight harness to match the kit. But i dont know what pins to switch or even how to figure out what pins i need to switch... Im at a dead pause. But those lamps look gooooooooooooooooood. Pics prolly tomorrow.
