    323's Build

    You have halogen h1 bulbs now, HIDs use bulbs that have a arc chamber instead of the filament found in halogen bulbs.

    Repair Manual

    Ive used it, dont remember the printing/saving situation though. Its useful if you only plan to need access to it once or twice, if you plan to make a habit of needing the materials in the service manual it might be worth getting your hands on a copy through Helms or Ebay

    Add Tron Style lights?

    physically possible yes, its just like doing a retro or removing the amber from the turn signals. However the EL wire is not bright enough to be very visible in daylight

    you would want to get a plug n play hid kit with h1 bulbs for the low beams and a relay harness for a 9006 setup so it plugs into your car's electrical system unless you wanted to swap the halogen projectors for HID ones, that would be a far more involved process

    its not about the closeness of the crop, its where you put the subject in the frame, the point that is most in focus in shallow DOF shots its mostly about following and occasionally breaking the rule of thirds http://digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds

    Some shots I just took with the new lens

    if youre planning to drag the shutter and get the whole soft water look, definitely need the tripod if you just want to shoot the sunrise handheld will probably be fine. the usual take the iso to 100, adjust aperture to get the depth of field you want and adjust shutter to expose properly

    if you upload your pictures to sites like photobucket or flickr instead of facebook the camera settings should be embedded and not cleared out.

    Im sure CBIs are great, but theres no way im spending that much on bulbs. You wouldnt be able to use them without a retro, you need to get rebased bulbs to 9006 for pnp HIDs
