Nope. I was waiting on the shrouds. I have a second set of lights. just the lenes were not as good as those. I cleaned it up pretty good and Baked the lens off and now I will be using that lens on my truck. I will not be covering the headlight with a shirt from now on.

How much do those halo's illuminate the area? Is it distracting from the turn signals?

Looks great, I'm jealous! Those shrouds look pretty badass


Next things to do after headlights is take off the Ford oval from the grille, and get some black magic Hella's.

Have not gotten good output shots yet as my phone does not do them justice but to show yall how exactly the Halos look at night.



and this Is a better picture of how colorful and sharp the cutoff is since the other pictures I had were cell phone pics and were not as clear



Only reason I havent gotten great output shots is I work at night and dont have much time to between dusk and work so My next night off I will get those output pics for yall

I know the weekend just ended but what about those output shots?

How close is the projector lense to the headlight lense?
