Exclamation Headlight Swap! *****PICS****

Swapped out the chrome headlights for black ones. Let me know what you think.

Stock Chrome



Difference between stock and black. The black ones are a bit small and cause a small gap...There is a pic of that somewhere.


You can see the gap here. Not noticable unless ur looking for it I think.

While holding the HID making sure it didnt touch anything, elbo knocked the bulb off...Ooops...Luckily it was the one that came with it and not the ones i use.


The gap I was talking about.

Compared to stock no gap.

I edited my first 2 posts.

Overall im happy with the look. They are SAE DOT approved which is nice. They came with the bulb and socket for side markers and blinkers but I removed them and used the stock ones. For some reason, they are smaller than the stock ones. This causes a small gap as noted but does not stand out too much nor does it make it look bad when just looking at it. Took 15 min to install both. Paid 130 I believe. Hardest part was removing the bulb for the HID...They were in there good lol. Also, sweeping the broken bulb was a pain. Luckily it was the freebe and not the ones i use
