It took me a while to fit the pico-itx board into this case with the wires packed on the inside. Installing it into the car was probably the most complicated because I took out the center console to run the the positive wire into the carpc's power supply (M3-ATX Smart automotive power supply). I grounded it to the bose amp in the back and as for the ACC wire, I tapped it into the ciagarette lighter in front underneath the cd player.
The pico-itx enclosure fits nicely in this little compartment:
I bought some halo rings that goes inside the RX8 headlight about 2 months ago from aacstyle.com's eBay store, at first they sent me the wrong color and so I shipped it back. After shipping it back with my note on the inside with the persons name I spoke to, they forgot to ship it to me. A week later when I call back, they said they were out of stock on the color that I wanted and it wont be another week until they can send it. A week later I had to call a couple times to get my tracking number, and after tracking it they still havnt sent my item, UPS only got electronically notified.
Ballasts with no Halos
Epoxy for the inside of t he headlight to keep the rings on
