Looks great, and finally a headlight mod that interests me.

How is the light "cut off" with those? Some complain about blinding oncoming drivers with non-projector lights. Is there enough clearance to put the lens back in place on the headlight? How did you fasten the light into the plastic headlight housing?

Thinking about getting lights below.

Looks really good, but just a heads up. Lol maybe you noticed, but your light bar in the bumper needs some love, not exactly straight.

Hey, I will snap some pictures in the am. I basically used the rear of the casing with a bolt long enough to grab it. Its hard to explain and will send pics first thing in morning.

I was on vacation last week and havent had a chance to update.

As mentioned in post above, I will get pics in the morning. I basically bolted them to the rear casing. This is also why I decided to not reuse the outer glass cause I didnt want to have moisture from it. Because I wanted the look without the glass, this was easiest way for me to do it. Im sure there are other ways.

You could have plenty of room to put the glass back. They dont bulge out at all.

No complaints or flashes yet but, I didn't drive it the past week due to being on vacation. I will get output pics up this week as well.
