They worked well, I had silverstars and wasn't satisfied so I added them and they made a huge diff. esp shining up and outward. But I now have 4300K HID conversion and they are useless. For the money I paid, halo or not, it was a steal.
One of these days, I'd like to see a mod like yours in person. The pictures don't really do it for me.
I saw some "blacked out" headlight modules on a Ford yesterday, and, with the color of the truck (which I don't remember - senior moment), I think they should have left them silver. On mine, I've decided the silver is the better color. Now if I had a black truck .....

BTW, Alex, here's your pic. Not much, but I soldered the wire onto the screw and drilled that baby in as far as it will go. Basically any place on your frame is good for grounding.

They will be useless the 4300K HID's outshine any halogen fog/driving light, it would be useless, save the money you would spend on halogens and buy some real lights

I went over to Wally-World and thought of a cool light change for my truck. I'm going to get some Silverstar H3-ST bulbs for my Hella 2020's and move them behind my lower valence grille and pick up a set of Hella 500FF's and also put Silverstar H3-ST's in them and moount those where my 2020's are right now. I think those with new headlights should yield some significant power for Halogens
