well i promise this isnt a flame.. haha just some advice.. i know phil has some HIDs installed in his prefacelift headlights, so maybe he has some pics he can throw up..

but what i wanted to say was those housings are all reflective for the lows, highs and fogs.. i just took mine out to put in projectors and HIDS.. reason i didnt put HIDs in the prefacelift headlights is cause they are reflective, and since the HIDs are so bright, and the reflective housings spread the light all over and dont focus it they can be realllly bright to oncoming drivers and blind them as you drive by.. so its not reccomended you put HIDs in there.. the projector lenses have a focused beam for your lows so they cut off at a certain point and dont blind other drivers.. just a little info incase you werent aware

yeah i was aware of that, but how bad can it be? lol i always get blinded by lifted trucks. what kind of hids does phil have? i was thinking about getting 35w 5000k or 6000k or i might buy some 2 piece depo headlights if i can find some cheap ones but i would rather spend $40 just for the kit rather than $200+ for headlights and the kit hahaha
