Got my HD/L headlights! (Pics!!!)

Came home today doing like 80 on the highway cause I knew these babies were sitting on the kitchen table. I opened them up and I'll be going outside in a bit to slide them into their new home! What'cha guys think? Time for a new sig photo?







I've got them right here in front of me waiting for my parents to go to bed because they dont want me installing them by myself. They think it's going to take like 10 hours or something stupid like that. It's only 2 clips and they're pre-aimed! Up next: HID baby!

It's mom & dads chair, but I'd say the dog.

More pics of them installed. They look awesome at night. Bright as hell and I'm turning heads left right and center from other "modded" F-150 owners with stock lights.



^^ After (left) and before (right) ^^



^^^ Amber LED for my side corners. Came 3 days before the lights did. Also running Silverstar Ultras as my main lights. ^^^



^^ At work. I always park near the entrance so everyone gets a good look

Eh, the new lights have different cutoff points than the stocks did. I installed them and did a test drive only to notice the right headlights were pointed down. So I took them out and just looked at the stock lights adjustments and put them as the OEM's were and now both of them are pointed true and straight. I'm going to wash my truck tomorrow and try to snap off a new sig picture.

DirtyD, how is the light output on your set? I tried to get a better look at your lights but your gallery is linked to some other dudes.

I only wish it had the orange stripe underneath like the HDs... oh well. I still love them.

They look good - although I'd remove the lights behind the grill now, they just look out of place. And then once you get your HIDs installed, they'll pretty much serve no additional lighting purpose.

Well, I use them primarily as driving lights in the daytime. I know they will be useless with HIDs, but then again they look sweet with them back there. I may keep them, becuase the fog lights still scatter a very wide beam farther than any HID I've seen.

Don't worry Jeepin, it'll be painted by July.
