Finally projectors without halos.

I didn't like the way the halos looked on the Cateye Silverados and put off buying projectors until I found these. Worth the wait. If you are interested in them then they are worth the money. Here's my full review: Bulbs: You can use your old signal/running light bulbs, except for the mini bulb on the side, as the bottom DRL rods plug into the mini bulb socket. For low and high beam, use H3 style bulbs found at AutoZone and other parts stores if you need to replace them. You can upgrade to LED bulbs, but you'll probably have to order them online, and only fanless LED bulbs are plug and play. If you try to use the LED lamp with fans or cooling fins, the bracket will not fit on the cooling shroud. Daytime Running Lights/Wiring: The bottom daytime running lights have a connector that plugs into the mini bulb wiring harness, but the top daytime running lights just cut the wires. I decided to connect the top DRLs to the bottom ones and then insert the connector into the mini light bulb socket. If the signals are used with the parking lights or headlights on, the DRL will work as shown in the video. When the headlights/parking lights are off, only the lower DRL bands act as a signal. The only problem I had was that the polarity of the wires for both top DRL bars were reversed. Red was negative and black was positive. This does not apply to the lower ones as black was negative and red was positive so it can only have been a one off accident at the factory. Otherwise they worked well and were noticeable throughout the day. At night they provide some lighting, but not enough to blind people. How it looks in the first two night photos is what it will look like live. Headlights: Only the low beam has projectors, while the high beam has a regular reflector housing, just like standard headlights. Despite their looks compared to the usual projector housings for this truck, they work great and can be adjusted with two screws on the back of the headlights. As you can see from my photo they are even a bit too high and need to be lowered a bit. Quality/Fit: There was no visible damage on arrival and everything fitted perfectly including the top headlight pins. These photos were actually taken after a big storm and driving through deep puddles and they don't appear to have any condensation, moisture or water in them so they did a good job with the headlights. My bumper is also warped, so the unusual gap at the bottom isn't to blame for the headlights.
