No problem, very nice, high quality kit. The installation was way easier than I thought it would be.

The hardest part was rebuilding the harnesses. For some reason (seems silly now) I was terrified of prying off the lens covers. Particlewave's YouTube made that easy (Thanks Particlewave!)

Here is a pic of the back of the light with the angel eye and high beam solenoid wiring running through an additional hole drilled into the reflector. That way the original running light (now a 6K LED - looks GREAT!) can be used behind the HID housing. The original high beam is also available.



Here is the result



Not too shabby.

Sick.

The picture reflections, the car's dark/paint color, the Texas plate... everything.

The headlights; just so-so

ps: nicely done, now can you do us 50x harnesses (pairs, of course) please loll
