installed my pre-auto light kit

I just got done installing my pre-auto light kit, on a scale of difficultly from 1-10, i would say its about a 6! I'll post some pics up later. Before i post.....i know, i need a 99spec front lip for the bumper. I just got the bumper put on and painted about two days ago.

did you only attach one side to the base? i have the kit, but the instructions are pretty lame. also, does your cover rest on top of the high beam (blue lense)? mine just didn't seem to fit all that great.

the blue light didint fit too good, i had to cut the tub to make them fit. if you cut under where the light sits, the will sit down in there just right. I used both brackets, for each light. Idont know if i did it right, but you really can't see them. Also i didint like the plastic covers that came with them, they scratch really easily. I thing if they were were plexiglass they would be better

The lighting quality over stock is 100% better. Ihad the 6000k hid conversion w/ my pop up lights, and they were nothing compared to the light output these hella projectors put out
