Any pictures from inside the car with fogs on (while on a road)? Just curious what it looks like from the driver seat.

I think I tried to get some in the driver's seat, but don't remember them coming out too clear through the windshield.

Also didn't get some of the orange fogs from outside the vehicle like I did the white. When I drive the car on the way to work one morning, I'll try to get some from the driver's seat.

Just finished mine, and I gotta say, they are great but my beam pattern doesn't seem to be as wide as everyone's here. First off, my fogs sit much deeper inside the bumper than I see most of the people in here do. I believe that's why my beam pattern isn't as wide, because the bumper is cutting it off.

Also where are you all getting the spacers from? I couldn't find any at Home Depot.

What do you all think?

Nice install, came out great! Did you mount them the same way as I did? Got pics? Just curious how they sit further in the bumper, I know BlueDay cut and welded his bracket so they'd sit further back, did you do the same?

I ordered these lights awhile back and about to put them in soon myself, prob next weekend hopefully. I will have to add some pictures when I do.

Infinite, what headlight/mod is that you did? If I missed in the thread my bad. I just recently did all projectors, going to modify more for actual LEDs to go in them soon.

I almost DD my car, so light is important to me lol almost have the entire car switched over to new/led lights

Which projectors and which LEDs? Most drop-in LEDs don't use the optics well enough and have poor beam pattern. Even the ones that come close aren't quite right, but some are passable. So it depends on which ones you are considering.

I have 4 Bosch housings that are slightly modified to reduce glare. I had projector lows, but my car doesn't like them and my bulb and connector ended up broke on both of them and one projector backing was snapped. I've got an idea to retrofit, just got the last of the parts, so now comes the fun part to figure out how I'm going to do this.

Better late than never on the picture request from inside the car. Also some outside too, similar to the original post.

Can you post a pic aimed at a wall at 25ft so we can see the beam pattern?

Awesome, thank you for getting those! I was curious how the light pattern was vs stock (stock is all I know). The pattern looks a lot wider and throws further.

Anytime! The pattern is definitely way wider and further throw. I really dig the orange color, it's definitely unique. For the price, the white or orange are more than worth it.

Sorry been busy and haven't got to finish this project yet, oddly mine have the dot number at the top with the wire kinda off to the side and the bottom. But I am happy with them over the stock lights, especially for the cheap price.

The projectors I used were the hellas, and with those plates you can find on ebay, took some slight modifying but the lights are so much better then stock. I haven't put LED ones to put in them to try yet, I need to cut some of the stock headlight bracket off the back cause the fan/controls/wires def wont allow it go down as-is. Probably be something I finish in the spring.

Trav2SS, what mods did you have to do for the plates in the headlights, I got a set of Hellas and the plates are coming. Just wanted to know what I have to look forward to. Thanks

I just got a new Hella and re-installed my projectors last weekend. Just couldn't deal with the reflector housings anymore.

Remove shrouds, remove original light, take off adjusters and undo corner spring and bucket will drop out. Install the projectors into the new plates and they bolt in place of the actually old bucket, so just reinstall adjusters and spring and you're good. Out of everything, the aligning of the headlights afterwards is the worse part IMO.

Anytime! I must love aligning headlights considering I've swapped mine at least 4 times in past year, plus changed alignment bolts, lol

I REALLY like the output of these. But I have to be honest. I can't get over the look of them when they are off.
