    Hey @ratcityrain - VERY much appreciate the quick feedback and details on what you do and don't like about the new digs.

    Got some dollars burning hole in pockets and either going to these or some LED fog upgrades (wringing hands over the Morimoto XB LEDs and the Cali Raised sports/wide cornering...I live in the police state known as Virginia and not sure how long I could get away with the Cali Raised units...)

    I agree that the OEMMassives look stellar - your reply might be just enough to nudge me over the line.....

    Glad I could help. It was a gamble for me since I couldn't find much info either. It is possible that they will be better with halogen bulbs since the projectors are geared more for those, but I like hid's better lol.

    one thing to note is that I did have to do a considerable amount of aiming once hid's were installed and housings installed onto the truck. Not hard at all, but one thing to consider as part of the installation

    Not that I'm aware of and I don't think you're going to. Not enough room for the back of the led when the cover cap goes back on. There's just enough room for hid bulb

    Night time pics. Good output from HIDs. Good cutoff. I was surprised.

    Man it looks like you got the wrong HID bulbs. Are those H11 or H11b?

    Seems like pretty decent output. At least on par with stock lights, from what I can see. What color light option did you go with?

    Any chance you could get us a picture of the headlights in pitch black scenery?

    They are H7s. They came with the headlights.

    I chose 4300k when I ordered them online but received 5000k. At least that’s what the label on the lights says.
    I’ll try to get that pic.

    Here is in a pitch black scenery. You can see the 2 shade lines on the ground from the HID’s electrode. I guess they don’t have H7b’s to put the electrode on top. Still good output.

    Where you want to be
    Have you taken it through a torrential down pour (car wash or mother nature) to see if it's a "water-tight" seal? This is one of main concerns for aftermarket headlights in this price range.

    Yes I have and no issues. It's been raining cats and dogs in Seattle for the last week or so and yet to have any issues. No moisture, leaks or anything as of right now.

    I have those same lines on my hid's as well. I do think the light output isn't too bad, but do think hid's in the factory oem projectors was a little better looking. Overall I am really happy with these lights, my only disappointment is the brightness of the drl's, but I will be addressing that this summer.
