clearbra, not tint but a thick protective film used to protect areas of your car from rockchips, debris etc.

The headlights look great!!

But the corners are embarrassing. They remind me of a Honda hahaha

Take a pic with the stock ones on.

Don't tint the corners, i think they would look even worse.
Lets all think of an alternative. Is there any way you can heat up the old corners pull off the lense and do the same to the new ones. Sorta like swapping lenses

Looking good so far...but I want to see some nighttime pics of the dispersal pattern of the headlights...

...especially when you've got that HID kit installed. Please.

the hids did not fit correctly, the bulb slid in too far behind the shield...one thing i would like to add is...these came with lights in the fog light section of the lens assembly, i actually have wires that were there that i didnt even know of, i hooked em up and they did not come on, any ideas?

maybe dumb question, but is the stock wiring up to par for handling the extra power needed for the HID bulbs? Is there not a need to upgrade the wiring?
