    I considered doing this but not too sure about cutting up my one pieces.....then again I have two sets so maybe I will.

    Install looks great. Im not a big fan of tinted lenses though.

    I don't think that's gonna help your situation because your headlight lenses are still fluted

    its good. i bought apollo 2.0 shrouds and they have holes in them for halos. you can see light coming from the holes so i am going to take my lights back apart and cover those up and then it will be perfect.
