They look pretty good I'd imagine they would light up the night pretty good did you go with LED rears as well.

i have not been able to get night pictures except up against a fence but i have been able to drive my car a few times since i finished the modification and the light from the projectors is much better then stock since it has a wider range and is more focused, putting the light where it is really needed instead of throwing light in all directions

this is the stock set up on the passenger side only


and this is the projector on the drivers side only


what the pictures fail to show though is that the light from the stock set up is very yellow when compared to the projectors

i used hella 60mm projectors in this kit

If they were flip-ups, then I'd be all over it..

Looks good though! Nice job.

if they were more like the classic race style, or at least as far out and not as deep as yours. I would be in love, but nevertheless they look great.
