do they come marked as to which is passenger and driver side? I seem to remember that in an early post there was a photo with the lights on and you could see the cut off in the pattern for the drivers side. Just wondering if they were marked as such? And damn I can't wait for mine to come. Also Pmondo are these the 6K bulbs?

I dont think it matters which one you put in what side. Yes they are 6k, they look blue in pics but in real life they arent that blue. I love'em!

There is LHD (USA) and RHD (UK Australia ect.) Both projectors cut to the same side away from on coming traffic.

Pmondo looks great. I got my tracking number last night. Also your SRT8 looks wicked.

So let me get this straight, you build these headlights in your workshop? Is the wiring safe with these kits, I hate to be a downer but I just found out another one of my friends cars burned to the ground because of bad wiring in the headlights (they all upgraded to an "HID" setup)... Just really curious because I want to upgrade my headlights badly but don't want to have to worry that my Jeep is going to burn down because of bad wiring...

Man he retrofits a H1 projector into a 5x7 housing. He does not custom make any electrical parts. He sells this with a H1 HID plug and play kit thus the H1 projectors. If your friend managed to burn his car up with a plug and play kit he must be an idiot.

Lol you drive a Chrysler vehicle and you're worried about a retrofitted light causing your car to burn to the ground?

Andy,

The 6000k bulbs are a tiny bit on the blue side of the spectrum. I personally dont find them to look "warm" enough for my taste but they are damn close. 4300 would look stock. I personally will be replacing my 6000ks with a 5000k bulb replacement (which are not available with the kits he orders... i used the same plug n play HID kit in my retro)

Cooper, if you are looking for light projection and ground coverage you can look at my link... While I dont have his product, I used the same projector and hid's (only thing I did differently is make my own plexiglass lenses) so the light output should be nearly identical.

If you dont mind the wait, his lights are a complete steal of a deal. I just like doing things myself and I'm impatient. Cost wise, it is worth it just to buy his already finished kit.

I'm anxious to see someone that has factory fog lights install these and see how they function.

Damn, those look sick Pmondo!! Looks like I will have to sell more **** until I can afford these

Does anyone have pics of the angel eye option? Are they CCFL or LED (I cant find where it was mentioned earlier in the thread).
