The light output is better. I am going to eventually put HID's in.

Please don't use HIDs (no apostrophe for plural words) in non-projector beam headlights. They don't have the distinct cut-off pattern that projector beams have and since they are about 4 times brighter than Halogen lights, those stray beams WILL blind oncoming traffic.

Those Harley lights look great btw.

Did it come with an adapter? Was it pretty much plug n play?

Made your Ex look newer

headlightswholesale is who I got them from on ebay. GREAT people! Quick shipping too. I think they were like $3 more, but I am happy I went with them! They sell a set without the adapter also, so make sure you order the right ones

Those look nice, and are not a huge cost for a sweet looking upgrade.

Question: Since I have an O5 Ex, am I correct in assuming these lights are simply bolt on without an cutting of the fiberglass supports?? If so, simple as pie upgrade.

I believe so, even with cutting the fiberglass, it was pretty easy to do.

nice! i have the same color X and that looks amazing. Couple months ago I got 6000K HID's but they're a little too blue for me, so when I switch to some 4000K I'll be getting the HD headlights

I hear you there!! My wife drives a dodge charger and I bought a diablo predator programmer for it, and she dont even know! She would get ticked off if she knew I spent that money! LOL. I am a member of a dodge charger forum and I have to keep myself off of that site as it keeps making me spend money!
