Since youre looking for opinions, I hate projectors and think they look tacky and ricey. I have the Hella black headlights and have no complaints. They look just like Harley headlights and are made to OEM specs, meaning no leaking and crappy fitment.

is there a reason you want the projection headlights? Those are all eBay headlights, you can pay half the price of all those options you have on eBay and get the EXACT same headlight. They will be the same thing, just different sellers

I agree with the Hellas that Tuna mentioned. here they are on my truck

the brush guard is kinda in the way, but you can still see them

I put projection headlights on my 03 mustang and I can tell you DONT DO IT. It looked nice but the output was just crap. All it is is a fog light inside your headlights. HID projection headlights are a differnt story. They has the power to run such a small bolt and still get the output you need to see at night.

Hey Steven,
After looking at those headlights i love em. Now i went to a website to see what people say about them. I seen two complaints about water leaking into the headlights. You ever had issues with that? By the way i have been looking at getting the Edge CS or CTS Programmer. How do you like it?

I'm not a big fan of projectors nor smoked lights. I prefer the HD style heads & tails. Like Tuna said, I think the projectors look kinda cheesy/ricey on our trucks...but then, if we all liked the same thing, things would get pretty boring.

try the website below to get them and use promo code TND15200...it will save you like $15.

as for leaking, I didnt take any chances, I used this DIY video (even though I knew how to do it, but it was still good to watch) with some automotive silicone to make sure I didnt have any leaks. Im very **** about stuff like that so I figured better safe than sorry and went ahead and did it

I like the edge tuner...this is (for now) my work truck so I dont really mess with it too much. I keep it set on the towing setting since I pull a trailer most of the time. Hopefully soon I wont have to do this anymore and I can mess around with the settings and maybe even see what it will do at the track.

There are a lot of threads on here about the different tuners, do some research to figure out which one is best for you
