Not yet. That pic was before I washed my car right when we got done with the install. My cell pics just don't do the light output and cutoff justice.

ok so i had to replace my relay harness and ballasts the ither day.

only issue now is when the lights turn on automatically they are in high beams mode

flipping the highbeams on turns them to regular mode.

is this a simple flip two of the three wires on the big blue plug going to the drivers side headlight?

if so, which wires are they? i got purple, black, and orange.

theretrofitsource harness btw

black should be ground so swapping the other 2 should work... however you want to test with a multi meter

This is all I can say to that, I don't have pictures on the car because I'm so busy with other stuff.

I should also add that I have a red car and the shroud is color matched to the victory red my car is.

I'm a fan of clean builds- ones that look like they could have been there from the factory. I'd just leave them silver unpainted without demon eyes personally.

^that's not a bad idea

i'm halfway with ya, nobody. red would definately make it not look oem, but then again not too much about my car is made to look oem anyway.

i think red shrouds would go nice with my red calipers, interior lighting and engine accents

I say do red to keep with your scheme. Mine are painted flat back (including the reflector bowl and reflector) with red shrouds.
