Then you should. Otherwise you'll most likely be unhappy with anything else you might try.

I need opinions on these. Ima rock em for at least a month before I sell em. Thinking of throwing a small bulb under projector to give it the panameric view or euro status. That bulb will turn on when fogs or all lights go on. More like a daytime running light.

Yeah I scrapped that idea. I may throw some halos behind the shroud just debating if I really want to or not. Maybe blue demon eyes. Dunno how it would work out when light passes thru. Any1 chime on it. Any effects happen with demon eye mod?

^This^. Too many times people have the leds burn out. that and its illegal in most DPS laws ive checked. Go back through the thread and look at padlocks his look pretty legit. I know im going to borrow the idea and paint my cut off shields if i ever get the money to finish this project.

Mine are satin black with mini gatlin shrouds but I had Joe paint the turn signal reflector too. Yours will look somewhat like mine, wert but with chrome instead of red. Also 07metallic too. His are twin to mine actually, in blue.

No not yet, not mounted on the car yet. I should have snapped some when I was mounting them, I just forgot. It's kinda cool tho because they light up the whole reflector bowl. Haven't ever done it like that but I kinda like it now that I did haha
