DavidT,

I'm surprised to hear the APC's are that good. i might have to try some. Where did you get them? ebay?

Are you running the stock or silverstar bulbs? and do they come with the LED's ro is thta optional? I'd rather not have them.

I was surprised of the quality myself. I bought them on Ebay. They don't fog up or have hue inside them in the mornings (But I live in Ca. lol) I am running all stock bulbs. Nothing fancy, no need for them. Light output is plenty unless you have bad night vision or something. The LEDs are not optional, they are part of the headlight however it is optional to wire them up (You don't have to). Maybe I got a good batch but the quality is good on mine. I needed (Actually wanted) replacements for my yellow 01 housings so I did some research and I read a lot on the APC projectors which got pretty bad reviews here on FTE so I decided to get these instead and am more than satisfied. Here are a few night shots.

LEDs are optional to wire up. Five in each housing.

Parking lights on w/fogs.

Like I said before, can't really notice the LEDs at all with the lights on.

Looks good. How is the color of the park light? Is it noticeably yellow? I guess it would depend on the bulb in there?

Thanks again, Looks real good.

Hey! I recognise these lights!! I have a set on my truck! My lights have the black that surrounds all the light pieces though. I've also got the '05-'06 grille painted to match!! I have some pics in the gallery I believe.

1nascar24fan...takes about 2 minutes to do it. Take out 4 top screws, release the bottom 4 latches and install the new pre-cut grille. Got mine from a fella on the East coast. He only uses 2 latches at the bottom, Fits nice and I am really satisfied!
