cool! glad you like them. i had to adjust mine a little because the high beam shined too high. one thing you'll notice is moisture in the housing after a wash on a hot day, but it'll clear right out when you have your lights on. did you use stock bulbs or xenons?

still stock bulbs except for 194 led bulbs from toucan industries, and silver/chrome looks like crap.

Why do you think that the silver/chrome looks like crap? I think it looks very nice. im not raggin on ya for getting black, its your car and i think people should do what they like, Im just wondering. My theory is that people dont want black door handles or black mirrors, but they want black headlights (not on a black car)??

Whaaa? Silver/chrome looks like crap?? I think the chrome ones look the best on a silver car...IMO

I can understand that they're not your taste but I don't think they're THAT bad...lol

BTW where's the pics at?

I had to adjust both high and low beams on mine. They were both way off. Once I had adjusted them they were really bright. They are even brighter now that I have installed a set of Xenon 6000k HID's.

its very easy to adjust the lights. some trial and error involved to get them the way you like. do a search to find out what each screw does exactly. i forgot.
