Looking good so far. I need to do this with mine. Where did you purchase the set of headlights?

Just eBay lights and I followed jj's how to thread. All and all I'm gonna have about 6 hours total into the project...mostly aiming them! I put in hid's a while back but the light scatter was terrible.

Well I f'd up royally when I was aiming them. I didn't pull off one of the tabs on the back of the light when I was aiming them with the lens off so they are pretty bad. I was able to adjust them to tolerate it for a couple weeks but I'm going to have to bake them again and pull the lens off and aim them again...fukk

A couple of output pics. Still not aimed but I'm just going to live with it until it warms up. Thinking about painting the shrouds..,

They look good.

I really like the headlights on the '05 model better than my '06.

I'm not all up to speed on the "HID" headlight thing.

So I was wondering what is "HID high/low" and "Projector high/low" mean?

Are they 2 sets of driving lights? The projectors look like they have better output...
I understand you said you didn't aim the HID in yet though.

Just curious because again, I have no knowledge on headlights lol
