Thanks CRF, for the compliment

As a matter of fact, I got pulled over two days ago to "check the height of my front bumper"! What a crock! (Local cop) He said, "I wanted to make sure that you are "legal"! I laughed, got no ticket and went on my merry way. Damn young cops!

Hellas make a difference?
Are the headlights that much brighter? I have already put in silverstars but i am still looking for more light. It is a pain to keep turning off my KCs when I meet a car.

You need to update this picture with the new headlights. Funny, I can't stand red vehicles but I can't stop staring at this photo.

I DID get 'flashed' this morning, but not the way YOU were thinking. I had three people flash me and I showed them my brights, and they backed off.

Here is a before and after. Next on the list, get black badges and tint my windows!!!!!!!!
They look really good! But how does the black out make them brighter? It would seem the chrome is more reflective (brighter) than the black plastic. Are you sure they weren't aimed a tad bit high, or maybe the bulbs are just brighter?

You're funny! Next time I have my brights on, I will take a picture for you!

Bulbs are stock, same ones. The reason they are much brighter is the reflective surface is a different texture and pattern than the stock is, which actually makes a huge difference. They are aimed in the same exact spot the stock ones were.

Plus, the carbon fiber design matches the design on my console

Could of saved about $40 and got free shipping from tirerack

http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/hella/F150_pack.jsp

Looks good though!

on a side note, some of you all need to shrink your friggen sigs. Took like 2x as long to read this thread since 90% of the space is nothing but sigs.
