Also, where did you get those headlights, I've seen them a few times before but can't find them...thanks!

Nope, no cracks or anything. Light even coats with good dry time between them is the key. Also making sure the lense is as clean as possible. I put 3 light coats on. The tails and reverse lights barely look tinted at night. I did the 3rd brake light a little too dark, it was the first one I did so I learned from it. I did the cab lights pretty light, you can still see some orange in them in the day. I wanted to make sure they kept the orange tint.




The headlights I got from Ebay.

I was going to go with smoked LED's also, but after dealing with Recon once already I will never buy from them again. Some folks have good luck with them, but mine was awfull and their customer service was worse. Just my experiance.

Naw thats just my camera. I actually have PIAA extreme whites, they are actually a true white with blue hint. The pics make them look yellow, must be the flash. The lights I have are awesome, but down the road the HID conversion will happen.

HID conversion is not worth it, bought $279$ hid 6000k my stocks were just as bright, only diffrence is the look And it makes road signs glare intensely. Removed them sold them for $125 and bought some 700 Hellas and 4000k's and it lights up the night.
