as we all know, cameras SUCK when it comes to HIDs and LEDs. unfortunately, i have BOTH so here's some nighttime shots. in person they look incredible at night. even when coming into the driveway i can pop off my HIDs (so they dont wake up the 'rents) and still navigate my yard with the 5+ feet of light the little DRLs provide not to mention my directionals I can actually see shining on the road now no more worrying about people trying to distinguish a LED in an stock housing when turning!

I love your LEDs on the tails and the LEDs reflecting off your bumper, cool effect.

so to catch the orange ones on....you had to turn on your hazards and be lucky enough to take a pic when theyre on?

yeah they are awesome! they are actually the cheap kit. bought the single-beam kit for $89 then spent another $70 few months later on bi-xenon bulbs. if i could do it over again i would go digital. i miss my FM radio at night

I love the headlights the most. daytime they grab your attention. nighttime the HIDs reflect off of it so well it looks mezmorizing and the reflection pattern at night is WAYY better than the chinese lights I had before

same here! i see the Line of Fire on other trucks (NBS Fords and some chevys) and they actually stick out. mine you can only see when you are 15+ feet back. any closer and you get that underglow effect

and yes, the pic you see was like my 5th attempt to catch them. no hyper-flash or anything. simple PnP and have the crisp orange color with instant on/off of LEDs

overall I'm happy. at least i dont have a mis-matched front end anymore!

sometimes HIDs are not all Digital and when they turn on the interference can distort the radio. hence, not having the radio. thats why most people are buying Digital kits, cuz theres no interference.
