wanna know what really makes me mad?
when a car drives infront of me, or behind me, with those lights.
first off, they're brighter than looking at a welding arc.
second off, they're so bright that even flicking the night-mode rear view mirror switch doesnt help.

So did you make a kit or something?

Unfortunately i'm one of those cool trucks with the square sealed lights.
Looks decent though.
Very nice light output.

looks good and i'm glad you got the projector housings. A clean cut off keeps the glare out of driver bys. Thank you for doing it right!

Nice those look clean, how much did you pay? The cutoff really helps with the glare, I have some in a sealed beam light and I love them.

funny...l had a guy yell at me the other day for having mine on during the day. He was so pissed he was hanging out of his window.

Honestly, I've aimed mine low also, but my truck does sit 5inches higher than most and he probably was getting blasted.

It was raining and ironic, I was driving for safety.

Nice Projectors BTW

well it gonna set you back about 150 for the projector 50 dollar for the hid kit and another 20 for the wiring harness. it pretty easy to do if you ask me took only like 2-3 hours
