Default Headlights, halo's, and HID's

I know this has been covered time and time again, but I felt the need to post a pic or two because it took me well over a month to finally do all the work and wait for parts. Eagle eyes housings, ddm 6K hid's with 55 watt ballasts for lows, highs, and fogs. HID's in the high beams because I usually leave them on for a while if I turn them on, not much flashing round hjaa. Much appreciated thanks to everyone who posted tidbits of info in prior threads, and to fuzzy for putting the wiring info up so I didn't have to break out the multimeter haha.

Those headlights are really growing on me, I may have to pick up a set.

Ask and you shall receive : https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...foglights.html

May as well buy the headlights and tails package at the get go, not a hard project just be ready for some soldering.

I've got four led strips.... they're just shaped like circles and placed around the bulbs. I can only go so rice.

I think the only ricey thing about those headlights is the 6000K bulbs you have in there. Drop down to 4300K and it'll look great.

I have these on my car and over my stock lights, there 100 times better than the original. I wish they made them without the halo, but I would rather my lights have halo's than cracked lenses and an odd-ball gray housing.

I don't care much for the tails, but the headlights are a definite improvement.

That's the camera, pretty white in person with great light output.

Have you tried reversing the plug? I believe the wiring has the polarity backeards. But the plug fits on the ballast backwards without modification.
