Nice ACA lights, The ACA are one of my favs when it comes to after market.
Did you install HID lights in the projectors?

Very nice mod - having more light up front is a big plus.

Very nice! Now add the HID fogs as the OEMs look like weak flashlights in comparison. I love my ACA HIDs and matching fogs - 4300 temp.

<<<<< See my avatar for a comparison.

Very nice ! I have the ACA's as well. Mine were modified with Bi-Xenon projectors which make them even better ! I can see the top of tree tops on dark roads with my high beams now !

Much better than the stock "Bic lighters"...

Enjoy being able to see at night finally !

They were fairly easy. Took about 3 hours for me, and some advice from George. Only need a few hand tools. If your going to do it get them from Radioflyer.
