    My order for my headlights came in today. They goofed up and charged me too much and added a duplicate kit to what I had ordered. They are going to refund the full amount when I ship them back. Before I do I was wanting to know if I went ahead and fit them to some headlights so they are all set up and ready to be mounted if anyone would be interested in buying them? All the work would be done and you'd just have to bolt them up once you got them. Let me know so I can ship them back or order another set of dummy lights and make 2 sets.

    EDIT: These are the same projection headlights Joey has. I'm not sure which shroud you'll get, the gattling or the mini graphite. It's whichever I decide I don't want to use.

    They are the 7x6 headlights that fit our trucks. They are in pieces right now but I can get you a picture of the pieces really quick.

    Here is the set I am building for my truck. I haven't decided which shroud I'll be using the one on the left or the right. If you're interested in having me build yours I can get whatever dummy light you want, it doesn't have to be black like I am using. joeynation has pictures of the output these make on his buildup thread. I do warn you that the kit is pretty pricey just the projector kit is over $120.

    That is the link so you can see what you would be buying.

    I've heard good things about those. Not sure if they're the GREATEST, but i know they're pretty damn good for nice projectors. I think the right shroud looks more unique, but the left is cleannn.

    You will have to remove the lens to change the shroud.

    I'm thinking about going with the shroud on the right and painting it black. I haven't decided for sure though.

    I think you should mask off some parts of the shroud and spray the little details black, kinda two tone the look. so it's shiny/black.
    Would look Badass right? :D

    I actually haven't finished them yet. I lost my workspace when I moved into an apartment so they're just sitting in a box at the moment. I also have to relocate my batt. before I can install them so that's what I'm waiting on. I'll try to get them finished up soon.
