I ones I bought have 6 LED lights on top, and 6 on the bottom. They came with 4 adjustable brackets for each light. Someone in here had pictures of the ones I bought. I was hoping he had some tips on the installation.

Got the old headlights out....not much of a problem . Does anybody know if I need to buy a double male harness since the one I have is too short? . I'm going to contact the seller and see how to install the brackets that came with the lights. If anybody has pictures on how to install the brackets, it would be greatly appreciated . Here is a picture of the ones I bought.

Good news...got one of the new headlights in today . You don't have to remove the from bumper to do this, but when somebody tells you that an item is just Plug & Play.....don't believe it . If anybody wants to know how to install these, let me know and I'll walk them through it

I found them here, although they could probably be purchased on other sites. I'd like to know how bright these are at night. Please post pics.

I'll be installing the passenger side headlight tomorrow night. I will also put pictures on here to let people see how bright they are. I also weighed the old to the new, and I shaved off 14lbs. by putting the LED's on . And if somebody is interested in these, I bought mine off E-Bay from Xcess Motors.

Well, I got the lights in and went out last night to test them. The low beams aren't too bad, but its much nicer running the highs. Since I'm so low to the ground, nobody flashed me...so we're golden. Sometime layer I'll switch the wires so my highs are my lows. I'll try to get pictures on this weekend.

It took about 3 hours to install both. You'll have to extend the wire harness, and drill a hole for the front bracket. I also had to custom cut the bracket holes to keep it flush with the body. After all this they look great, and are well worth the time, and trouble.
