Yeah I was surprised. Used to getting up at 6 for work.....so it was habit. We paced ourselves well. I can handle my alcohol much better than I could as a freshman. :cheers:




Progress Update:

- Clear lens reinstalled over painted section of headlight
- HID kit installed and ready to go
- Waiting on it to get dark so I can align the projectors



My retrofit kit didn't come with any installation instructions at all. Luckily I had installed one of the cheap DDM kits in the past so it wasn't a problem.


Waiting on the sun to go down so I can aim and seal them.
:thumbs:





Teaser shot from wiring up the HIDs:

Progress Update:


- Sealing lights in about 2 minutes
- Lights aimed and leveled to the best of my ability at the moment. Will make final small adjustments tomorrow morning....




More teaser shots. The cutoff blows my mind.


Projectors, low beams, high beams. Hell you can tell a major difference between this and throwing an HID bulb into the F150 round reflectors. Just looking directly at it is not even blinding.

Compare this old shot with the above. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give stock halogens a 6 or 7, plug-n-play HID kits a 3, and retrofitted lights a 12.
