    Guys, ALL I can say is "WOW" what a difference.

    This is a night and day difference. I can see clearly and much farther than with the factory bulbs.

    I even had 1 light out (self inflicted) and could still see better than if I had the two factory lights on...

    Now, I will recommend that you guys purchase the Upgrade wiring harness (I do not know the price) for voltage reasons.

    I did have a few issues with the wiring (NOT TLS's fault) in that the plug (adapter) the the factory bulb outlet plugs into were reversed and the black wire (common) from the same plug were loose.

    I have informed Marcel with pictures and he will contact his supllier of these issues this week.

    As far as the install, took me 10 minutes. lol It is ALL plug N play. Now I have not permanently mounted the ballast boxes as I will wait until my front end is off in a couple weeks to complete this. For now, the ballast boxes are tie strapped to the framing where they are NOT visible.

    Here are some shots with the HID's on:

    And with the HID's off... You can see the differnce.

    Looks good buddy! I couldn't be more happier when I installed a set of HID's on my GCSRT8. Really big difference compared to the factory bulbs.

    You can get to them by taking the skid plate off... Easier if the fascia is off though.

    I am having the fascia repainted... Damn those parking blocks... lol
    Correct.

    Ron....
    Should just paint the underneath of the fascia with Rhino-Liner...
    I was thinking of geting some "1/2 round" stainless and put a slight bow in it. It could be mounted under the fascia so that it would "ride up" on things we get too close to. It would actually push up the fascia slightly. Something about 1.5" wide with a 1/2" rise would be perfect.
    Actually mounted 2-3" ahead of the stupid "self destructing" rivets that hold the belly pan on.
