    I should be getting mine next week and doing actual comparison pictures with the same exposure settings so we can see the actual differences in our trucks specifically. Going to compare stock, HID's and Retros when I do it...

    Fucking FINALLY. It's amazing how many people leave the autofocus and flash on when taking pictures to gauge the differences in light. The whole purpose is to see the differences, not change the exposure and dim to make them as close as possible.

    I just wish you were around when I was looking at the LED headlights.

    Here's some pics of the cutoff lines of my FX-R's after alignment. Trees are about 25-30 feet away...

    For lots more info, I'd go to hidplanet.com. If you're looking to dive right in like I did, check out the group buy for theretrofitsource.com and the writeup for the DS2 / FX-R retrofit. It's a sticky on Lighting I think.
