Happy customer here.

Lights showed up pretty quickly, just took me a while to get on them.

I'm pretty anal retentive, I took the headlight covers off (the black ones near the engine) and found a spot for the ballasts to sit in. Tested to make sure it'd go back together and they did. Next drilled some small holes in the cover and ran zip ties to hold the ballasts in place. Little bit of black RTV on the inside to keep things water tight, let dry, and installed.

Sounds ghetto, but the ballasts aren't going anywhere. Small black zip-ties (with the connection inside the light not outside) are tough to see, and I also have a pair of new OEM covers for reversing this mod if ever needed.

As for the LED's, they look great! Nice and white and seem bright. Stock was fine but this is definitely more attractive. No error codes or anything.

Glad I went for it. Thanks Mike!
