Those headlights are similar to what I want to get along with the HID's. I just have to save for it first and being a poor married college student it may be awhile before I can get them.

I ordered a set close to those when I got my truck they look alright but I had to do some modification to the mounting bracket on one of the headlights cause one of the lower marker light bulbs didn't have enough room to go in and twist into place. Also a disappointment with the one piece headlights there's no aiming adjustment. Mine aren't aimed horribly but could be better. And my markers lights were just regular bulbs so I had to get amber ones before putting in the new headlights. Also I know I've heard stories of people melting their plastic headlight housings when using HID's that's why I stayed away from them. Maybe do a google search on that and get some info

Afraid someone is going to hunt you down for the criminal you are? Nonsense I say. Are those flat on the face or do the turn signal spots pop out a little?

im running same exact setup just the clear lenses. it is amazing the clarity of hids compared to halogen. there will have to be a few mods as mentioned though, if you need any help id be glad to assist. as well as for the aiming of them they are sorta hard to aim and beware of the brackets that housing pops in and out of mine snapped on both sides!

I figure anyone can see my license plate so whats the diff. If someone really wants to find out where I live they can do it no problem.
