Default 2011 LED headlights installed

Got these installed by Tim. He did a great job installing it and a minor modding to the plastic bracket to fit into the headlights that support the bumper. Other than that is plug & play.

Overall great lights and the most expensive upgrade. Looks way better now.

Couldn't get any good pictures cause the LED are at 100% brightness (cheap android phone). Will take some better shots when I get a decent camera. Enjoy.

If you install those here in South Florida you'll be open season for the cops.

What i recommend for the bulbs is to buy the amber bulbs w/ the chrome exterior. I think it's called "eggyolk" bulb or something.

So if you plan to swap headlights, you might as well change the bulb for those who find it as an eyesore.
