    Well it took me about 23 hours and 3-4 days to finish it, had some *minor* :rolleyes: issues with wiring and bulbs breaking but finally got things working smoothe, aiming was a PITA and is not the best... so i did what i could and made sure i didnt blind anyone by driving past my car in another car just to check.

    These are 6,000k bulbs, im still not sure if i wanna go with 12,000k or just stick with 6k for night driving and use my halos for daytime.

    1. Your last pic doesn't look right. Why is your cutoff about halfway up the building in the background?

    2. Stick with the 6k bulbs. The 12k's put out less light than halogen bulbs.

    yea the glue didnt set right :mad: but i got a decent cut off, once i clean up the headlight lens it wont be noticable, besides i only use them at night. and the reason the light was halfway up the building was because i was on a hill.
