They kick butt, and you can upgrade to higher wattage bulbs for an even brighter viewing path at night. There is a limit to how high you can go on wattage due to the small wire gauge of the stock headlight wiring. I would recommend going to a headlight relay upgrade for anything over a 75 watt bulb.

My bezels are aluminum, and are far from perfect. Actually, they match up pretty well to the grille, which isn't perfect either. As far as I know, nobody makes aftermarket aluminum bezels, so you have to find a nice used set. The chrome ones have a brighter finish than the aluminum ones, and I don't know if they would look out of place against the aluminum grille. I would have to think that it's been done quite often.

Thanks for the nice compliment, and Merry Christmas to you as well! I am also very anxious to see how all of my mods work out. My next step is to do a lot of research and study shock rates and lengths to get the best ride I can. Shock selection is one area where most guys don't think about. To me, it's one of the most important things you can do.
