debating between yellow fogs or clear spots.....

what yall think


my biggest worry is that fogs will not be enough light but think the yellow is cool and the spots might be a pain to aim right

These just arrived today, so I'll be installing them tomorrow.

It was 89 for the headlamp and 69 for the pair of passing lamps.

Guess what? The headlamp is not plug and play with the OEM bezel, and their bezel wont work with the RS bucket. go figure
Not that it is going to be very difficult to modify, is I hate grinding on a new part. in the picture below the round locating tabs are keeping the lamp from sitting flush in the bezel. It looks like I can just remove the round locaters and the lamp will fit. I emailed Genssi and am waiting till they reply before I modify the lamp.

Nothing more scary than modifying a new part...auto warranty void

well I had to take a break fro mine. I went to oriely's and bought a cheap replacement bulb. put the wires back on and everything worked just fine. Put the bulb back into housing and now neither side works. Flipped the toggle switch several times to make sure or try to anyways thats not the issue. I dont have a test light but will by tomorrow so left it buttoned up. I will check it then.........until then its time to calm down. All was well till I put the bezel back on.......dang it

Adapt and or modify isn't that what owning a metric is about. LOL It is going to take some adapting for the 4 1/2 lamps also. Can I use the Harley trim ring or do I need the complete lamp bucket.

I did here is the cheapest new bucket 20$. I found then of-course it goes up to few
hundred for billet alum. I think I'm going for a little high quality than these but the are cheap
