Got tired of the craptastic quality after 3 years... they were real 10 footers as far as fittiment, I got tired of the semi-popped up look that ruined the sleek profile to me, the projectors weren't that great, and the lenes have only up/down adjustment so even when I added HID's I couldn't dial them in. Also, going down the road they'd vibrate when I hit a bump.

I'm really happy having the popups back in.

It's too bad that the quality on the fixed lights were bad. I would've loved to have had them if someone had made them properly.

That is what it is all about, Good Job! I used to make model airplanes, this is just a bigger and (perhaps) more expensive version.

Not so fast my friend, you aren't quite done yet...

All you need is to get some decals like these and you will be there
