    Here's another look at his BHLM work. Meso LED side markers are a must. No regrets.:thumbsup:

    @dead.fm13 first hit me up last year to discuss building him a set of lights. We finalllly made it happen. I think these were worth the wait!

    Are these an example of the full black-out? So the stock hi beams won't do much for you?

    I'm thinking of going that way myself...

    Nice, they look really good! I've got some Meso Stage 2's, but other than that i'll probably end up with what you have.

    Very nice!

    Looks legit to me.

    Don’t mount / fasten them somewhere that can get warm. As long as they’re secure from banging around under the hood, you’re good to go. I know some folks are OCD about how their engine bay looks, but this works for me.

    Driver side ballast is fastened to some empty holes in the sheet metal similar to that. Wouldn’t tie it down to the battery like I’ve seen others do due to risk of heat and/or corrosion.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Yep, first time around is tough. Just take your time and do it right. Great looking lights. Those lights match mine really close but I have angry eyes and no Meso side markers. New set coming soon will. :D

    I have to be retarded. Getting this headlight back in is proving to be super hard. Can’t get that side 10mm bolt back in behind the bumper. The black piece that the bolt goes thru isn’t lining up with the bolt hole in the headlight. Any tips?
