    Search for and PM Bryson....he's AMAZING!!! He literally knows EVERYTHING about headlights! He just did mine yesterday and I could not be happier. He actually completely modified and created his own design for his lights. He should be posting pics of mine soon....new design different than anyone else's. =)

    LEDs come tomorrow so I want to possibly start and finish tomorrow. Maybe you could just help me pry them open and seal? I'll come to you if you'd like. Just let me know. Thanks!
