Its your money... Yes they look good when you're looking at them on your car.. Just wait till you drive at night/morning with them and keep having to aim them down further and further where it becomes pointless to upgrade.... And you're still blinding oncoming traffic just like the other morons around here that blind me because they're stock and put a leveling kit on their truck... Yet didn't adjust their headlights accordingly. I flash every single one of them, they flash back but even their high beams don't even make a difference since they're blinding me on low or high.

They arent housings, his lights are actually in a PROJECTOR. They have CUTOFFS to prevent blinding people. Regular LMC housings are made for regular walmart cheapo bulbs, BUT you can obviously adapt HIDS in them. So yeah it works, and its cheap but its dangerous for others. Just because you can see good with them you may cause someone to crash because you cannot dim them, they're basically like riding around with your brights on all the time.
I used to have them when I had my first TA way back when ( 10 years ago ), yeah they really do help it was a cheap solution to hella bright ligths, but every single person flashed their light at me even when i did adjust them way down.
Do it right and safely or don't do it at all. By the way have fun replacing fog light housings every couple of months because the HIDS get too bright/hot and warp/melt them to ****. Bet thats going to be fun to change, ( ask me how I know )

^ Yep what he said, exactly!
If wondering I'm running the Hella 60mm low beam projectors, you can buy them on Amazon Prime for $45 each.
It's not just people with HIDs in reflector housings that are dangerous. I've found people (least around here) that put a lift on their truck or even just a leveling kit and do not re-adjust their lights. I swear within the 14 mile trip to work every morning I flash at least 6 of these retards and I take the back roads! I'm sure they know it's the same car by now but f-em. Funny part is I can barely tell when they flash me back so I just keep my brights on. It just pisses me off people can be that stupid.
I wish I fit and hide a light bar on my car easily

Found this picture on my phone for anyone interested in how bad the LMC housings are. The picture doesn't do the crappy quality justice, it's way worse in person. For instance the "tick" above right on each one....they're one on each side per housings. Only good part is their beam looks like a firebird emblem, lol....sad but true.

Nope, LEDs & LMC not a bad kit at all, for the price. The LMC kit with the halogen bulb it came with was much better than the original OEM GM halogens. I just got back from a night drive, did a little bit of " slightly aiming down ", with the adjustment screws, the LEDs are fantastic.

I'll never understand why people will cheap out on headlights and halfass a conversion like this.

However, you are sounding a bit heretical with your phrasing there.
Totally agree with VIP1.
