    how do they stack up against the set you have, i see where alot of people buy Amazon version housings and then retro fit but if they are decent projectors then why mess with retro-ing? Ill probably get the slimm cubby kit for the headlights but wasnt sure how those projectors spread the light and cap the light. found a set of lights for 40 then the projectors are 50 and then the slim cubby and ballast it can all add up pretty quick and be way more than the ebay set.

    Both sets of projectors I bought before these retrofits had shitty light output, but I kept them for looks. My fogs with HIDs were brighter than the headlights themselves Esm

    Will gasoline remove/lighten tail light tint? Need to make mine lighter or remove it completely, they're just too dark.

    Not hard now that we know exactly how to do it. Got some bad led's and/or messed some up on Thursday so had to wait till today when the new ones got here to finish. Wou probably only take about 20 min total if we had to do it again.
