Do you have a Tahoe/burb or Yukon headlight? Also what's your budget?

I did FX-Rs in my stock Denali headlights and the output is really amazing!

TRS is running a special over the weekend. 20% off code July4th and its good from 4th-7th

Also if you went with the h1 then make sure you open up the bi xenon flip tabs so it doesn't get stuck and aluminum over the holes in the cut off shield

The bi xenon flipper gets stuck on low beam but to prevent this issue you just bend the L shaped ears away from the flipper. It has a rod that goes through the flipper with a spring attached to the solenoid then the rod is held in place at the L ears. Bend the L ears outward away from any contact with the flipper.

The holes that need to be covered in aluminum tape are the L tabs that hold the solenoid. They will show up as bright spots in the air like random high beam spots. Let me know when you get the lights in your hand and can explain the setup a little better.
