How do you compare the light from these to the old headlights? Better? Did you have Xenons previously?

Nice look, BTW...

Mike,

Looks great! I plan on doing the same too. Where did you purchase the headlights?

Thanks,

The light output from these so far are much better and there's a sharp cutoff. I did notice on my way to work this morning that I need to adjust the aiming a little more to get it perfect.

No Xenons previously...just plain ol' H7 bulbs.

$165 [+tax] + $40 shipping. Much better than any retailer on eBay.

That looks awesome....where'd you get that pic? Looks like it's flirting with being illegal, but I'd have to look more into it. Thanks!
