Amazing difference in light output with those lens's! For the 'ultimate' set-up, add a relay harness for full batt power (stock skinny wires have up to 2v drop!!) and then you can also run 80/100 watt Hella bulbs. I got both from rallylights.com - GREAT folks, btw.
Don't worry about blinding oncoming drivers like the jerks who cram HID's in stock lens's - the optics are such that the 'cut-off' line is still below the retina's of your fellow drivers (unlike 'retrofit' HID's). I ran the same housings you just got w/the high-wattage bulbs for last 70k miles and NEVER once had someone 'bright' me because they thought my high beams were on...
FWIW, I have '05 - '07 lights now and I miss the clear lens and Hella set-up. I had ALOT more usable light before.
If I had it to do over again (I do - there is also an Excursion in the driveway!) - I would NOT have 'updated' my headlights!
PSD mod syndrome?? Nahhhh, I can stop ANYTIME I want.
No honey, I did not just order the hpop Overdrive unit from Bob Riley - not at a time like this!!! (I'm waiting until next week...
)
