Size:  33.2 KB the green is so bright if I am on a road with out street lights I can drive clearly with them. It's like driving in night vision kinda reminds me of that. With the lights on the street signs all have a green glow to them as they pick up the led light. I will post picks of the final tonight I to ired all the front chrome and reinstalled it I have to remove it from the turn signals and side markers I think it's a lil dark

Those look cool man. What kind of cut off do those headlights give with the standard halogen bulb? That's my only concern. Cause I would like to maybe get some blue ones eventually depending on the output quality of the halogen light

There's not a real cut off the spread light like a regular sealed beam. I have some xenon projectors I got from work out of a Mercedes r350 I was going to retrofit but there a h7 bulb. Ill post a pic of the beams once I adjust them tonight and the light out put of the less on the wall there brighter than sealed beams. Mind you I do not have a harness upgrade or anything this is 100% stock other than the light housings and bulbs

Yea that's the only bad thing about those kind of headlights, the light pattern can be kind of uneven. But a retrofit would clear that right up.

Still sweet looking
