    I mean, technically you could black out the highbeam bucket since you'll now have a bi-xenon. Just have to realize the bucket will basically be for looks now.

    I was just thinking about trying some spray tint. That way they would still be reflective. Quad high beams are awesome! Lol

    I haven't tried them before, but they look legit. And they do have a good warranty. I figured I give it a shot.

    I’ve done a dozen or so. My only advice is to be prepared to hardware them to the original factory oem plug. The DD directions tell you to drill a hole in your lights and fische the wire through and seal it up. It’s much easier to just wire it to the plug for a good seal. Let me know if you want pictures. I’ve taken plenty.

    I got the cougar motor LED bulbs from Amazon for my high beams. They're pretty bright.

    I used high temp engine block paint
    No need scuffing up the chrome
    I noticed that when I was scuffed up the chrome if it wasn’t all exactly perfect you could see where it was sanded
    I personally didn’t see a point in painting the cut offs
    Before you put them in the oven be sure to remove all metal screws, plugs, wires and grommets
    After I had done my lights I did a second set and (285 for about 15-20 min)noticed when leaving them in the oven longer I was able to get them apart pretty much the first try without having to put them back into reheat

    I sent you a Pm on Saturday. I'm sure you get quite a few but wondering if you still do BHLM?
    Thank

    I actually do these all the time. Over 100 sets last year and still plan on doing a ton this year as well. You are correct though, I get a lot of requests. I will get to them tmrw.

    Correct. Just not enough hours in the day to juggle everything. But Jason knows what he's doing and is the go-to BHLM guy.
