I'm liking the factory headlamps. I would just retro fit them with some Infinity Q45 projectors and call it a day. The rear tails I dig and would rock em. But halos, NO...

I put this in the oven without preheating and didn't lower the rack, I'm an idiot, replacement parts should be here this week.

I guess people are nicer in Jax, must be why I live there too.

LOL,,,Some peoples skin is a little too thin.

I have a similar dilemma and was thinking of getting your set up in a blacked out version, but do not want to lose significant illumination in my headlights. However I do not want to spend $1K+ for over the top HID's either.

Are the LED's in the tail lights bright enough for the smoked/blacked out lenses they sell? I ask because I do not want to have someone plow into me because they could not see the brake lights come on during the day.

The tail lights are definitely bright enough.

I know this is taking forever, hoping to install this weekend. You'll notice only one halo is operational, I had to modify it for the new projector, I think I'll delete the other as well, I replaced stock LED's also. I HAVE A WORKING HEADLIGHT, YAY ME!

update

What I'm happy with after retrofit, overall looks, light output is ok, much better than prior to retrofit. I think I will replace bulbs with 5k soon(I have 6k now). I have some nice led fogs that are going behind the grill very soon. Got new shoes today too, 275/60R20, that's a +1 increase, fills the wheel well a little better.

Lower fogs will become DRL's, I'm using 2 amber LED's in each headlamp for turn signals.

My cutoff isn't as sharp as I'd like, adjusting them is a PITA
