Yeah, wish I had know that was all it was, I had some left from when I did my rear window, wasted $10 on that. Oh well.
I think 6" was about all I used too. I also used it to seal the hole where the hi/lo wire came through.

I used JB kwikweld for that, and took the stickers off the other two holes and put kwikweld on those too. I didn't have any, so I didn't really have a choice but to get it. I scraped some of the old sealant out that was making a mess so it didn't get all over the place. Well I guess we've gone off topic enough from the ops original topic. Sorry op lol.

Halogen:

HID:


These are both low beam pictures. I have another shot I need to take on a totally dark straight road (have the halogen pic, just need the HID hi/lo pics).

This one is my favorite. You can see the reflectors on the tractor at the far end of a 40 acre field, which is about 1/2 mile across lol Retrofitting is the best money I've spent on both of my trucks.

Yeah man it's pretty impressive. If you do decide to do a retrofit, I strongly strongly recommend you order the MH1 retrofit kit from The Retrofit Source. If you do decide to do it and go with the MH1 kit, [MENTION=45175]BrowningSCrew[/MENTION] has a how-to write up that you can use as guidance along the whole process, and you can ask any questions you'd like in the write up thread, we'll be glad to answer any and all of your questions there
