Just the strip, I already had my sides tinted, the back came tinted. I told him I wanted the strip to match my side windows and he didn't believe that I had tint on my side windows, he said I probably have 50% tint, so I plan on getting those 20% to match the strip and back window.

yea cause i was gonna say dinggus, your windshield doesn't look tinted at all.

and i was just wondering about the lights powers, b/c i've heard a lot about different sizes for our foglights, and i wanna be sure before i order some that are gonna either not fit or be toooo much work to make em fit

Is it legal to have the whole windshield tinted? Also, what are some good light bulbs for the taillights, or should I just keep the stock light bulbs?

not in any states I know of, unless you have some kind of eye condition with written "prescription" stating it's necessary from a Dr.

Keep the stock bulbs, you could throw some LEDs in, but that might mean getting an electronic flasher for them too.

Alright, I plan on ordering my headlights and LED third brake light after New Years, since I hate waiting for mail due to holidays. Also, are these headlights dark enough to match my taillights?

With your tails, I think these heads would look awesome! But they're a little higher...still not outrageously high or anything though.

and those that I linked look better on dark vehicles than they do on that white expy in the picture. exbgsxr has these on his black truck and they look great imo.

1clean42, true they don't. That's why I'm asking you guys for help

Thanks Jake! Look like I'll be buying those. Also, the corner piece for the headlight, they don't look the same length as the headlights?
