Simple & Clean Retrofit

My latest set of lights. Same general theme as before with everything black and tinted. I love these as they are really simple, don't even have halos. The shrouds are one of my favorites and imo set the look of the lights off pretty nicely.

those are pretty nice. Do they increase the light distance over stock at all? One thing I've noticed is, the stock head lights are not that great on visibility at night.

I find myself switching to the brights a lot when there are no cars in front of me.

Thanks John

@ ralliartist - yeah, for sure... it's quite a big difference, especially the high beams when driving on a dark highway. The is a stretch of road to my gfs house that is really dark and the retro headlights are a dream to drive with and the cutoff lights up the ditch really well so I am not worried about not seeing a deer or whatever.

Thanks Jordan That would be awesome to do a set for a local member, feel free to pm me when you have some cash to play with... I don't msn much though

@blk ss/sc - no problem about the wait. I am still interested in doing a set for you and if you think you want to start in the next week or so, that would be great! And yes, I could make you a set exactly like this one!
