    OK so the got the advanced technology package with the hid's.... what does this mean when the diagram says w/leds? What leds are they referring to as I'm jus looking for the right and left factory assembly and plan on using my existing wires/plugs

    well I didn't realize I had 2 projectors in each headlight... I'm guessing both projectors are the hid's and the bulb beside the projectors is the hi beam?

    Your high beams are halogen. Your low beams are LED projectors, two on each side. You currently have the most expensive setup, with the best beam cutoff and spread possible. What specifically are you trying to "upgrade"? If you're trying to replace with a HID retrofit along with some halo rings, I'll gladly trade you my headlights for yours.

    Well if you're brave, you can remove your existing headlights, bake them to soften the adhesives, disassemble, paint all the chrome pieces flat black, and then reassemble/reseal. It will cost you almost nothing if you succeed.

    It's been just a little over two years. How are they holding up? Any burnt out LEDs?

    Where did you buy those lights? & Does the strip light up? What price? I'd like a pair for my 15' sea glass pearl.

    I got mine for around $1,200, which includes shipping. They were almost plug-n-play. Totally worth it!
