NICE!! If it were me, I'd set the projo deeper in the headlamp housing. Cut that hole that the stock 9007 goes into, and countersink that projo some. Possible cutting of the rad core support may be needed and I wouldn't hesitate on whipping out the dremel. I want a stock look to it, so I'd be leaving that area chrome around the projo, and possibly machine some alum trim rings then polish 'em out to a chrome like shine. From a distance, it'll look like a headlight mod, but get closer, you'll see the projo. Just my thoughts.

The part with dremeling it to set it back further - you have to realize there isnt much room behind the housign itself - I coudl cut into the truck a bit.. but to get the housing back in further would take some JB Weld - and then trying to make taht look pretty would strt making things look funky - PLUS you have to line it up correctly, using the pins for the 9007 holes puts it dead center perfect - you would have to spend a serious amount of time getting it lined up while it dries - and make sure as heck it doesnt go crosseyed or out to the side.. extra tough to do
You'll like what happens next.. next set of pictures coming through! .. darn photobucket..

Oh gosh, so sorry about that people - Gorge.net (my internet provider) had a huge problem with a switch out in portland and my service went down around 4pm, didnt come up again until sometime this morning.
I got them finished up, they are sitting upstairs with the glue curing.. uno momento whiel I post up shots of what I was doing duing it, and the finished product :-)
Thats it exactly, great kit for the money! Although, I dont think I payed that much.. let me check on my order, find out what my total was.
Edit:
I bought my own kit for 89.99 + free shipping.. through hiking1978's store http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Xeaz__W0QQ_armrsZ1

The kit is designed to fit into a specific bulb slot - the actual bulb itself is (I think) an H3 bulb, I need to take a look at some pictures first - Then has a screw backing to tighten it into the 9007/9004 slot.

After taking the supplied heavy duty glue - I finally mounted eerything back up together after it was all painted.. took me about 4-5 hours or so after I finished the first one, to finish the second one. Lots of little pieces needing blacked out with the Krylon Fusion Satin Black paint, and after each one is mounted in the housing - it has to be tested to make sure it fully works.

Its a CFL lamp - not an LED - so probably not best for it to keep flashing on and off all the time :-(
I tested by applying a 9v current (Battery) to it, and as figured, its based on a full 12v circuit, only 3/4ths of it lit up, the upper 1/4th was off.
So - no can do on the turn signal setup :-(
BTW - Next post = Ownage :-D (As soon as photobucket hurries up!)

Just Angel Eyes + Running Lights:
Angel Eyes + Bulb All On:
Standing Back:
Sex: .. Thats all.. just Sex.
Low Beam and High Beam: It switches as fast as hearing a click, no warming up of a second bulb = as fast as you can move your fingers.
Next Step: Find some 4300k bulbs to fit, preferably 50w.. and install ;-D
These are 6000k btw
