    Oh yeah no doubt it would give it a cleaner look, I just didn't want to take my housing apart lol no leaks in 2 years! I can honestly say everything including wires,ballast,HIDs have changed for the better since I bought my first kit.

    It will take you some time. Its not very hard but not simple. I think the hardest part is pulling the housing and lens apart. Take your time and it will work. I love mine and the difference in the light produced. The LED halos are very bright. Let me try to post a few pictures in a minute.

    I know it looks way awesome..... right now I have some 55w 600k bixenon bulbs in my head lights now..... piss a lot of people off with how bright they are just on low beam. but i'm fine with that, I'm in Wyoming and where I take my truck there really aren't that many people anyway. haha.

    :burnrubber: :wave: :wink: :yes: :sorry:

    some things are different, and people are funny about things (referring to myself)... I'd rather cut holes in my rear bumper to fit some flush mount pod lights than take apart my headlight units.:sadviolin:

    Any shots close up? Would like to see the mgm and flat black together. I've been trying to decide if I want all flat black or throw some mgm on the shrouds
