Default Anzo Black Projector with Halo Headlights

http://s1104.photobucket.com/albums/h324/TMSS1/

Received new headlights, installed them today uploaded pics to photobucket.
Will take some night pics and post after dark
Installation went well, pretty much plug and play, except to solder electrical splice to parking light circut to power LEDs and Halos. Also put never sieze on mounting bolts and ball to ease removal if bulbs need to be changed out sometime.

Looks good. You should paint the border to match the grill.

Looks awesome buddy, and yeah it would be a good idea to paint the outside trim of the headlight housing. I did mine but I still have to update my sig pic.

But other than that looks great. Looks like a completely different from what you started with that's for sure.

Yeah, the grey rim almost stopped me from getting these lights, I figured i would get them installed and working before I paint them. I also want to get a clear bulb that becomes amber when on. All that amber from the stock looking bulbs detracts from the look IMO. None of the local parts supply houses stock them so i'll order them and paint the trim when I replace the bulbs.

OK, I removed the lights and painted the trim a matte black. Latest pic with running lights on and painted trim. After reading the trouble some are having with LED turn signal bulbs, and talking to the parts guys at a couple of parts houses I decided not to go with them and stick with the amber colored bulbs (ugly as they are, IMO). Now to decide on my next move, I realy covet the hood scoop on jkeatons BLUE Dak so maybe il'll work on getting one like it (only in Lt Almond).

Undecided as to paint bumper black or go with the body color (Lt. Almond) decisions decisions. One thing that you do always leads to two or three other things. I still want to paint the aluminum diamond plate box box black, too many things not enough time! By the way I admire the engine mods you've done to your Raider, a whole lot more work than I would ever tackle.
