The Benefit is that they look cool. The angel eye component does not really emit that much light, its just for looks. The headlight is the same though. Go on google and look at angel eye (headlight) pictures. You can see if you like the look or not. Compare them on different cars and different styles.

yes you want long cord output if you are going to do projectors. keep in mind you have to do A LOT of cutting on your headlights & truck. it took me 8-10 hours over the course of three days

id almost prefer an 8000k bulb but i think the 35w 6000k will work perfectly n give good contrast to everything.

have fun taking apart your headlight. It is a PAIN. Make sure you take all the old sealant out when your about to real seal them. to make it easier, have a friend hold a hair dryer on the part youre trying to remove and use a flat-head screwdriver. Also, there are 2 torx screws in the light housing, if you want to remove those make sure you have a torx set.

Couldn't agree more, I opened a set of 04 lights I bought and not my stock 08s.
