I recently purchased a set from Jonathon ( I believe ) a forum vendor for a great price. I got the fogs and lows in 6000K. I really like the look and the output they provide. The one thing i had to get used to is turning off my headlights before I turn off my car. If I don't the lights turn off but wont close. I don't know if i'm the only one with this issue but I consider it very minor and now Its habit to turn them off first. Jonathan was also very good @ helping me after the sale install them so i would highly recommend him. I'll be purchasing the highs from him in the very near future.

That's me^^^ Thanks a lot for that BTW.
A lot of people will hate on you for installing them or even talking about them here.
If you want a kit from someone with experience and will cover you when something happens contact me.

They are worth it! Once you get them you'll understand and if you don't like them I'm sure you could return it. I got a set from www.jwmotoring.com

Love it
I just installed my set 2weeks ago, I love them, no resistors just a ballast, I have not owned them long enough to notice if the pop ups close when I shut the car off. I always had it set to manual operation.

There is only one style. These are not the ACA projectors that had clear or black style. These are built on a custom tig welded aluminum frame by TheRadioFlyer with Hella modules. The heat formed ABS shrouds are black, just like the stock surrounds, which are retained.
Do a forum search for other threads and pictures of these "Light Cannons". Unlike HID kits that use stock housings, these are DOT compliant and their stepped cutoffs put all the light where it belongs - namely on the street and not into the retinas of oncoming drivers.

I'd like to have some like RadioFlyers but they're not in my budget now! My Daughter is getting married this summer.
