Thanks blacksheep! Now I don't have to worry about seeing at night since I can take the covers off, lol. It's what happens when you get old.

some advice for headlight covers, before you put them on the car make sure you get some clear vinyle and put on the bottom of the cover where you can see it will touch the bumper cover. reason for that cuz it will scratch the bumper paint going over bumps, tracks, or bumpy road.

When you niteshade your tails don't go too dark, the first day I did it I got pulled over and ticketed, and you could see the light fine. Really depends on how cool your state troopers are, but just a little advice there for ya.

Brock, did you notice any real decrease in light output when you put the headlights in? My morning commute is always in the dark, love the look and want a set but afraid that it may hurt visiblity. TIA

It would be cool if anyone gets a set of these soon to install just one light and do some testing in the dark to see if there is any difference with just stock bulbs.
I too would like to get a set, not a fan of covers, well because I know I am lazy and after a week I would just stop putting them on, but I already think the light output on my stock monte is not the best, I would hate to lose more...
