    Replaced chrome badges with Sockmonkey black badges, painted billet grill black, K&N cold air intake, my corner light turn signal circuit, Speedfreek traction bars, RAAMaudio BXT/Ensolite, Stereo: Kenwood KIV-701 USB/Bluetooth deck, 10" Pioneer shallow sub behind the rear seat, Infinity 6822cf 6x8 front and rear doors, Fosgate P400-2 (sub), US Acoustics USX-4065 (four main speakers)
    Great mod. The dispersion looks good. I noticed the new Philips LED H4 bulbs have a Glare-Guard on them from the factory so Philips agrees with you on the need for the guard (Philips 12953BWX2).

    Anybody here running these yet? They aren't cheap, but are certainly cheaper than retrofits without all the extra stuff that comes with HIDs. Just picked up a set of retro's and HIDs from a TW member, but if these can give me equally bright light with my stock housings I will take out my HIDs and run these instead.

    Nope, have not received them yet. My card was charged and last time I looked on Xenon Depot's page under my account it says my order is processing. I order both H4 & a set of H11's for the fogs
