Do you have HID headlights? Where did you get them, and how do you like them? I'd like to get a set soon for my bronco.

Yes they are HIDs. I picked them up on ebay a few years ago for about 80 bucks. The kit included the lens, bulbs, ballasts and wiring harness. I love em! no way I could go back to stock. I'll put up a pic of them on once it gets dark tonight.

I've got the Sylvania Xtra vision sealed beams and I think the visibility is good for stock.

Very true, now I'm torn on whether to convert to clear markers or get new amber ones. I also need new fender and tail lenses, the old ones aren't doing the new paint any justice

Thanks for the pictures! I have the clear turn signals and really like them. I'd like to add LEDs to them when I get the HIDs.
