Slap on film will work too... I did DIY film on my own, before installing.

Time for the new headlamp housings .

That's what Tommy said too (about the headlights). I was thinking a lighter Optic Blue than the one Aerotect offered, but CHP nabbed me for that with the original fog lamp.

Installed the LED's tonight, surprised that it was such an easy install. Crappy iPhone pics attached, better ones to follow.

Is it pretty much plug and play for an 08? Thinking about upgrading mine

Well the DRL's on the '08s are the high beams just on at low power. I've programmed them to be off and I switched out the parking light that is located in the same area as the high beam bulb.

I have yet to install my set. Did you guys have to adjust them after installation? Are they somewhat pre-adjusted already or you adjusted the ***** before installation? Thanks!

Had to adjust mine quite a bit. If I recall correctly they were too low from the start.

So I installed the driver's side first and without adjusting, it looked like it lined up with the stock one (1st picture). I also did not adjust the passenger side and both lined up. Drove and see how they work and they seem low. Correct me if I'm wrong, the round plastic cap on the fender liner is to access the adjustment ****? I really don't want to unscrew the liner screws again. Oh, both also fogged up on the bottom part but they are going away (2nd picture)

Edit: The caps are right below the fog lights so I'm confirming that we can adjust them through those holes.
