I am running Recon's with their supplied HIDs. I got an amazing deal from another awesome forum member.

I am still tweaking the aim of the headlights and am currently shooting pretty low at the ground so I don't blind anyone. I will be adjusting them up some over the next week or so, and if I start getting flashed, I will lower them down some.

HIDs in the low beam projectors with halogens in the high beam currently. Any lost light directly in front of the truck is filled in by my 5000k HID fog lights I ordered from Jon_To.

I am thinking that the HIDs in the headlights are lower than 5k because my fogs are bluer than the head lights.

Installation is pretty easy with this set-up. I have not wired in the halo's or the LED lights yet, I am planning on pulling everything this week and cleaning up the wiring, mounting everything cleanly, and getting everything just where I like it. After that I will be posting pictures.

I don't think that the cutoff on these projectors is super clean though, like everyone says that projectors are. As I am still adjusting, this may be me more than the lights, only time will tell. Pictures will show this, when I post them.

Okay, here are a few pics of what I've got going. I need to break out the real camera to get better pictures so you can see the separation.

I'll get some up against the wall later tonight so you can see what I mean about not having a clean cutoff.

Here is a pic of the light fro inside. Up in the upper right of the picture you can see the fish eye.

I was looking for a dark warehouse to do this but couldn't find one.

I haven't been flashed at all yet so I think that the majority of the light is in the proper direction. I'm just not sure what they are supposed to look like.
