The HID's and halogens look stupid together, I hated it. It really makes your halogens look yellow..
What housing upgrade did you go with? I have HIDs in my stock fog light housing right now. Should I just aim it as low as possible and stick with the stock housing? The light from them projects out giant circles, and it cuts off really high lol

I used the Blazertech 3200's, I dunno if they made anymore. I just aimed them so as to not blind folks.

ah, ok. well, I guess I may have to bite the bullet then. I REALLY have been wanting the color of 55w 6000ks. My 35w's are a little bluer than what I want and 5000k bulbs were too stock looking. I'd probably get bashed if I called them yellow, but compared to the 6000's they almost are lol. Nice job though, Id so do this if I had a bird

Yeh, I've thought about dropping to a whiter color, in the videos/pics it looks blue, but in person, it's pretty much white.

Any updated cutoff shots on a darker wall? I'm sure it's hard to do with rednecks chasing after you and all

Rednecks chasing me is a bad thing..

I don't have any, but I can try and get some next time I'm out in it.

well if you have any discretion toward look.... here is my 2 cents.

this guys right ^^^ i like the look of it, but painting the face white would do worlds of good for it. and the fact that the projectors are circles kinda modernizes it which makes it more elegant looking it think. i am doing HID's as well (this weekend) but ill still have 1988 chevy blazer housings wahh. lol you need to put projectors on your brights as well, like you photoshoped below.

autoluminationdotcom vledsdotcom and even ebay has some good ones. along with a few others. but get them from here

supposedly they have never had a pair returned and they have lifetime warranty! and to top that, they are $45 which is 10-15 cheaper than every1 else. when installing LED's tho, you have to replace your thermal flasher with a zero-load one. or use load resistors. which splice into your wires. i ordered 2(one for turn signals one for hazard lights) flasher modules for $30 shipped. these seem to be the best http://www.keepitcleanwiring.com/cat...shers/FF552NLF

I might paint them, just to see how they look. I'm digging the blackness of the holes, but can see where the white would look good.. Maybe I'll throw some paint on there..

I do need to snag some switchbacks, I'll check out your link. Thanks.
