Default Sun Guns Installed!!

Love the aggressive looks these headlights offer.

Great quality product!!

Just waiting for my carbon fiber shrouds to wrap these up in to complete the package!!











This is how it'll look with the shrouds.

About a 4 hour job... taking my time since I've never gotten this intimate with my headlights before.

If you have average garage skills then youll have no problems.

It might be a bit since they just started making the shrouds and I'm #28 on their list... thats why I painted my bezels black.. so they dont stand out so much.

I always see the "Chevron Cars" when viewing the front of any car.
Your mod gives it a rather whimsical look

I like those...Do you still have the option of closing or is that stance permanent?

They close like normal, they just open (raise) 70 mm less than OEM.

I like that look as well. If I were to replace my stockers, that is what I would do. Once you have the shrouds installed, make sure to post a pic.

How difficult was the install? Is there a significant improvement in the lighting?

Subscribing so I can get more information.

1. Who's the vendor?
2. Cost?
3. Were installation instructions included?
4. Can you post some nighttime pictures so we can see the improvement?

I've removed my lights to install new bulbs and also to give more room to install my new HID fog lights, so I've got that part nailed.
