Default Need some imput asap on these headlights

well I found some headlights that I have fallen in love with, these things look F**kin amazing to me. so here are the questions...

1. Does anyone have these already?
2. If so, can you post up a pic or 2 with the lights ON and OFF
3. how easy were they to install?
4. any comments?

4. I think they would look better in black, but I see they don't have them for 04 08.

3. It depends on how well you know wiring because these lights come from the retailer so that when you plug them in only the actual headlights work. I also was looking into similar lights on ebay but the thought of messing something up changed my mine, which is why they warn you to have all wiring done by a mechanic or electrician

I know a guy who has a friend with a 07 FX4 like mine, and had issues with the 10k HID version of this kit, but his was black instead of chrome. The HID version has its' own ballasts, so simply plug and play to the factory harness and done deal ... however, the HID kit did not come wired for the blue marker led's under the angel eyes, so he had to do this himself ... which ultimately got him a fine from the locals as in these parts, only police vehicles can use blue marking lights of any kind or on any corner. Then the HID kit burned up his factory wiring, as the HIDs pull quite a bit. Should have had a relay system put in place to take the brunt off the factory harness regardless .. kind of like those guys that wire fog or off road lights directly to the crappy switch provided and usually have the switch and/or wiring melt. Should have used Bosche

Said the lens' themselves went in straight forward without any modifications to the vehicle or light, though was not prepared to spice into power to get the other marker LEDs working. Plus in the grand scheme of things, he should have spent more on a quality HID version that the cheaper eBay route ones' he found. Normally, quality HID kits are thrice the price from what I've noticed on eBay.

Wasn't a huge undertaking getting them working so if you have some sort of wiring knowledge, you should be good.

I too like the black versions better than the chrome.

Still looking for mine.

these are the ones i want to buy, $208.00 on this sit, but i found them for $120.00-$180.00 on ebay.com

they say on most of the sites and ebay auctions that:
EASY TO INSTALL, NO MODIFICATION NEEDED

so meaning i can just unplug the stock ones i have right now and put those in place? or am i going to need to buy some more **** to get these working properly?
