I have some black lightings on the truck now, I ordered some all chrome ones from e-bay for $56. I know they are cheap, but since I am resealing them and painting them, I am not too worried. I am keeping my current ones (for a while at least) in case I have any issues with vehicle inspection or problems with the HID's. I may keep them as a spare set to play with or maybe make another set to sell?
Oh cool. So you're going to retrofit and paint the chrome ones you're ordering off eBay? And keep the black ones how they are?

Yeah, kind of stinks. A lot of info in the thread, just a lot of pages to figure it out. I will definitely give you props in it.

Yes. My current ones I got used from ibd2328, so they are a little hazy on the lenses and the pass side one had a bulb explode inside it so some residue in there that I am not sure if it will come off. I figure starting with a new set will eliminate all that and give me a better end product, plus give me time to do it.
I only have one OEM one, one had broken mounting tabs so I trashed it.

Lost a bolt just before dark. To be continued. Man, it's cold outside.

I'm definitely pulling the motor when I put the top end on this spring, lol. Mustangs are So much easier.
