Did the fogs on the Coupe, but not the headlights. PM Grn Envy. Marcus did mine and also the headlights and fogs on his truck. He should be able to answer most questions.

Did both the headlights, and driving lights so the color matched. Matched that up with LED's in the parking lights of the same color. The light output is awesome! You can see so much better. Plus having all the lights the same color enhances the look. :thumbs:

Pics? Did you do both high and low beams? What exactly did you do to the driving lights? I'm a bit apprehensive....not sure why, but...

Any problems with excessive heat?

Any issues with light scatter? Will they be a nuisance to on-coming traffic?

I switched to HID's but I also got the ACA housings as everything I read indicated they wouldn't work well with the stock housing/lens. They don't get overly hot and are so much better than the stock set up.

I went with 55w because that matches the stock set up and then you don't need a resistor to make sure the lights go up and down. (at least I didn't need one.) They will suck the battery dry in minutes if I turn them on with the car off.
