They have a decent light output it's pretty much everywhere It's mostly up and down and not too much left and right so you don't blind everyone. I'll try to get a picture and post it up. I'm not really to sure on how to get a good picture of light output.

I hear ya. That was my next question, curious if they were too bright that everyone would be flashing their high beams at me (even more than they already do...with all stock lighting)

I like the Harley lights on your truck but personally I don't care for projectors just my opinion but your truck is looking better every post.

How are the quality of those Eagle Eye headlights?

The Harley lights look good, but I'm not crazy about those projectors like others said.

The projectors are held in by a clip in the bulb opening.

The quality was quite good. Used a MASSIVE amount of butyl tape they would not have leaked at all.

As far as the projectors I made the decision to put them in because even those with the 05-07 trucks say the output on the lights is less then ideal so while I like the look of the 05-07 lights there wouldn't really be a point in switching to them besides asthetics. So I made it a lighting performance upgrade as well. I threw the idea around as to painting either the reflector or the shroud, but decided to leave everything chrome to keep a more "factory" look. Also if I painted it and hated it I would not have been able to remove it very easily.

The light doesn't appear to bounce even though its only held on by a nut? Does the shroud support it as well?

Looks good! Are the 4300k's just not the color compared to 5k or is the output different?

As you go up in Kelvin you go down in usable light output. But 4300k and 5000k are the most recommended kits

I have 8k in my headlights and 6k in one set of my Hella lights and the 6k is much better can see everything a lot more clearly, i know its in an auxiliary light compared to a headlight housing but 8k compared to 6k...go with 6 hands down. I almost feel like 4300k to 5000k is such a small jump that its not worth it, i do not have experience with either of them though so i cannot say for sure.
