Nice video. I like the dapper headlights also, and was wondering about the options when in use. Thanks for the thorough rundown on the work done.

No prob. There are a few different ways to wire them, so it's a little of dealer's choice. I did it the way they recommended, and I'm happy with the results so far.

Tagging in to watch the build.

I will ask this as well.... Why staggered wheel sizes but same size tire @ all 4 corners? Is your plan to break the tires down off the wheels for rotation?

At first, I was going to go with a true square setup, but the wheels are hub-centric, and the hubs front-to-back are different sizes. So almost immediately I realized that I'd have unique front and rears, even if they were the same size and backspacing.

Once I realized that I opted to go with a concave design on the rears, and since there was the room I also opted to go with a wider wheel to allow for a wider drag tire (like a 345) in the future if I ever wanted it.

The reason I didn't go with wider rear tires, to begin with, is one, I wanted to feel what a square setup did for stability and handling, and two, going above a 315 also meant going down a size in sidewall (from 35 to 30), and I didn't want to do that for my daily driving tires.
