I don't think you were trying to come off like an *** with that comment but you did.

Not really, because I have a lot more in the lights than he does. But either way, I just pointed out some facts.

Right right, so how was the fit of the HID's in the 500 housing? Same as the normal bulb? What set did you use?

I think you have to shave some of the housing to fit the HID's.

I have an Aries Bull bar. In that picture though, I have my skid plate off still because I had to tighten down the lights again.

They didn't fit because of the connections, you have to grind them down. But the housings are extremely easy to file down.

There is a picture kinda showing size. I didn't take any pictures of the hole I filed, and i used some silicon to fill the hole in.
But they are great lights, I absolutely love them. However, I don't plan to drive with them on that much in the city, mostly out in the country.

Just a few pictures of the lights, they are pretty bright in the truck, the more I use them, the more that I like them.
