Default installed the Sonars

These lights are "Sonar" lights. I also installed 6K 35watt HID bulbs and hooked up the Halo lights to a factory switch in the dash that I got off of ebay. I think it turned out pretty good. Anyway here are somepics!!



Here is a side by side of the new headlights vs the old ones.



I have the Halos and the LED lights on the side hooked up to a switch in the dash.



the switch on the left works the driving lights, and the switch on the right works the Halos


HIDs and Halos

well fitment was about 95%. I had to do some banging on the inside of the fender because the headlight was hitting there and i couldn't adjust the headlights. Other than that they are pretty nice!

For fitment, if you have a bumper gap, there is a screw on the bottom headlight-to-plastic-bracket-thingy (lol) that if you loosen it a little it pushes the bottom of the light outward and helps fill the gap. I did that on mine, but my bumper doesn't fit right due to damage so I'm not sure how much of a gap on a proper car there is.
