I will volunteer to be the one holding a gun at your head while you do this! I bet the headlights would have a better high-tech upscale look to them as well.

Cutting open the lights to put the projectors in, bro! And I removed the bumper because I'm doing both lights, I didn't want to take a chance at scratching my bumper, and it was only three extra plastic fittings to remove the whole bumper lol

Thanks for the comments, boys. It has been going great so far! I didn't have to cut the first light at all, I was VERY surprised. They sealed the side markers so that even Jesus couldn't get in, but the headlights popped open after a couple minutes under a heat gun and some weak prying with a flathead screwdriver. Go figure! Yes, I did use a pink towel to cover the table. Get over it. ;D They're not fully installed yet, this is just a test fit. It looks good, though!

You can still adjust them like normal since the leveling screws move the entire headlight. I'm glad you like them, O light master! ;D

I forgot to take the SD card out of the computer and put it back in the camera so I only have a cell phone picture of the beam pattern, but here's the first look! I still need to tighten the right one up, the projector itself is rotated to the right a little too far. You can see how the right notch (part of the cutoff in the light) is a little blurry also. That will all be fixed once I tighten it up. It looks SWEET though, and I am absolutely in love with the cutoff!

Yep, 6500K bulbs. And thanks for the comments! I'm going to tighten up the right light now and wire in the high beam solenoids, then seal them up. They should be done and ready to go in tomorrow night! I might have to wait til wednesday night to get the bumper and stuff on and tightened up though. Almost done!
