are those HID bulbs in a non projector housing? Its hard to see a cut off line on the door and it looks like the light is flooded everywhere… not going to be safe for other drivers or yourself when you blind the hell out of oncoming traffic. ---

The LEDs look alright - however may play havok to your electrical system. It will probably start bitching at you that you have a tail light out due to differences in resistance. ---

It will probably start bitching at you that you have a tail light out due to differences in resistance. i wired in some resistors in the tails so the bulb out lights to come on, works well, as far as the HID’s having problems with my cel,esp,and abs light and my speedo dosent work, i guess it might be where i placed the ballast, have to move them and see if things change ---

you can’t tell anything about those projectors… most of the problems you see are due to a small camera lens and an unsteady hand. ---
