Cool man.

Just a thought on the Desicant.

Did you use a new one out of a fresh package or did you recycle one out of a box you got. It has a finite shelf life and once opened and exposed, it will only work for a bit.

If it's a new one in each and you quickly opened it, put it in the light and sealed it in the oven then you will not have a problem.

If not, it will not do anything but take up space inside your light...

Sweet! I was thinking the same thing to prevent the lenses from fogging. Way to go Merc.

Now get some sleep! You don't want to mess anything up because of sleep deprivation.

SWEEEET!! Man, those turned out pretty good Mercury. Your awesome man. Keep up the good work. You may want to send a picture and some illustrations in to a company or even GM for that matter and get payed some BIG TIME PAPER MAIN!!! You'll never know unless you give it a try.

Just remember me when you get your first check alright.

Wow I took these out into the valley last night and I am beyond impressed! The light is so bright and clear! The highbeams are crazy too!

BrianMP5T- The stock leveler worked just fine. I can also ajust them with the springloaded bolts I installed them with.
