    You’re going to blind everyone on the road with HIDs in those reflector housings.

    Hey guys long time no see. Put on a trailgear bumper last week. The stock chrome was no longer offering much protection. Next up I’m looking into a diy hitch swingout for a fullsize spare

    I’ve been reading a few different threads about bulb choices. Still trying to figure which will give me a clearer beam without causing accidents

    I tested various settings with BP-51s today on a trail I've done many times with lesser equipped vehicles. It was a night and day difference.

    Settled on these settings for now:

    Fronts: Compression 1, Rebound 8.
    Rears: Compression 1, Rebound 6.

    About 750 miles on them so far and no clunks or leaks like others have experienced.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    None of the choices whether its hid or led will be ok in a reflector housing such as yours. You've effectively reduce your output and gonna try counter it with an off the shelf hid/led kit? Should of just black out your housings instead of the lenses.

    I installed the intermittent wiper mod today. Happy 2019 y’all. My next purchase will be the WeatherTech front and back mats.
