Talking Installing Bi-Xenon headlights and xenon fog lights

Hey guys. Decided to upgrade the lighting system on my 2002 F150 Supercrew. Going with Bi-Xenon headlights and xenon fogs. Both 6000k. Also adding new ebay headlights and fog lights. Here's a couple videos and links.

Will post more pictures and videos soon. Still trying to finish my audio install. To many projects.

First off, why isn't this in the lighting forum?

Now for the bashing. You will have MASSIVE amount of glare to oncoming drivers with those headlights and HIDs. You will lose light output and blind people. Scratch that, with the 55W in REFLECTORS you will be burning retinas. I hate to say it, but you either didn't do your homework, or a complete tool for doing this.

I'm not a religious man, but I pray for the people who drive in your area.

Where are the pics/videos of the HIDs?

I've had those heads before, and after a few months a few of the LEDs (made in china) will die. The others will start to flicker on/off (not good if a cop sees it) before they die. The reflection pattern on the heads is cheap as well. I hope they go better for you than they did me.

Wow. I hope that's your camera.... because that is poor output. Seriously, drop a few bucks and do HIDs properly (this is an UNDER-exposed photo):
