Damn that looks great to me! Cutoff is pretty clean for what it is! I wouldn't change a thing! Cant wait to get mine done. Got all the parts, just gotta get home to do it. Thanks for the pics.

Cut off looks great imo.
Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for another option on lights that works and that doesn't cost 2k+.
Rock On Sir.

Finally got around to some night time shots. Spent the money on a 6K Hid upgrade. Can't say I'm super impressed, the the LED's in my fogs are probably better.

Just picked these up for mine, gonna probably end up doing a retrofit in them and painting over the LED strip to make them look more like the OEM HIDs

Interested in seeing what you're up to, the LED strip is really bright so not sure how you're going to paint it - meaning, are you keeping the strip lit?
I just bought some Lamin-X covers, Gunsmoke. They are quite dark as they sit wt the backing intact, if I decide to install without changing to a lighter tint I'll post up.

I don't plan on keeping the strip lit, no. I actually used lamin-x gunsmoke on my current headlights and wasn't very happy with them, just FYI. The fit was really bad and the color was way too purple. Great customer service, but the headlight tint just wasn't a good product.

I'm gonna try to leave the strip disconnected and tint over the strip and turn bulb, similar to what I posted a few pages back. Well see how it looks, post yours up if you end up tinting.
