    Well, I got to playing around on Photoshop and ended up making these headlights. I sent this picture to a couple of my friends and to my toughest critic (my girlfriend) and they all liked it and told me to actually build them. So I ordered all the LEDS for it and they should be here in 7-10 days. I have it planned out exactly what I need to do and given my skill set, It should go fairly smooth and easy. Go ahead and give me your thoughts on this. Luckily, I have a backup pair of headlight housings, so if I don't end up liking it, I can just put in my other housings. Ill update this first post with pictures during install and completion and what not. I'll do my best to make a write up on everything that I did.

    I must add that the projectors and halos are already existing, so I'll be adding the LED DTRL in this build.


    Edit:
    Well, they showed up in 2 days instead of the 7-10 days it said they would so I installed them tonight. Ill get some more pictures tomorrow.

    Looks great man. Are you using the amber led strips as your blinkers? If so that's sweet. I put LED headlights in my pickup and led fog lights in the factory blinker location. Blinkers are now in the corner lights but I like the looks of yours!
