The O ring in the kit is thicker than the stock O ring therefore the light would not fit into the socket. After the switch it fits like a glove. Now we'll see if they melt the housing. More to come.

Thanks for the tip, I will keep that in mind if I run into the same problem. I did get my kit for the headlights but they were the wrong kind so the company I bought them from had to send me another kit. Frustrating because I am anxious to get them installed and see how good they look.

I like. What color code are those? It almost looks like the heads are bluer than the fogs. Very nice though.

How much each, if you dont mind me asking???

Thanks again for the great pics,

The place I got them from was here in town so I didn't have to pay shipping but you can get them shipped to your door overnight for $140. But i've heard that if you call them instead of ordering them off the internet you get them for $130. So it woulb be $260 for the Headlights and fogs.

Not yet but I've only had them for a few days. They are aimed the same as the stock lights so i don't think it will be a problem.

And as far as melting the fog light housing goes, Ive had them on for almost an hour straight driving to work one day and as soon as I got out of the truck I touched the lense and it was barely warm so I don't think they'll ever get hot enough to melt.

They should not melt anything HID's run cooler than the stock bulbs, and I ran mine from baltimore to NC, 7 hours and had no issues

I don't have an address. I called them and they brought them to my work.
