they are dual beams which meant two bulbs (one for high & one for low) & we are high/low in one bulb, that's the different I believe!

The headlights were a success!!! They look awesome. They are not too bad to do just one or two steps that were a pain but I think anyone who want to have black housing headlights do it yourself. TO NOT BUY ON EBAY!!! 200 bucks is a rip off!!! Do it for like 10 bucks...the cost of paint, primer and sandpaper. It is a two day job. Whoever says they can do it for you in one day it'll turn out like crap b/c you need to let the paint dry properly. Just take your time and patience is needed. Remember: TWO DAY JOB!!!

(caution:bad mood) 2 day job my ***. it takes 10mins to get apart. 20 sec to unscrew it. using Krylon fusion paint. spray once lightly let dry for 30 min. and spray a 2nd coat to fill all in. let it dry again. 30mins. put em back together and bake em for 10mins. let me check .. still not getting 2 days. by my count i can do it in a bout an hour and a half! and if you want to come over here and tell me my headlights are crappy. im the one people are mailing asking me to do it for them. so dont bash if ya dont know.

and if you buy em ebay for $200... youre getting an extra set of headlights. thats actually a pretty good price..

blacklancer03 is right, we both did ours together and it took no more than about an 2 hours to do both headlights. you don't need to let the paint dry over night, let it dry pretty good, when putting back together you dont even touch the paint, so you don't have to worry baout that anyways. And them, I'm pretty sure 275 degree heat will dry the paint also.

Does not take 2 days.

Would you like a cookie since you can do it in an hour and a half blacklancer03. I like to take my time with my work. I don't like to rush. If you can do it fast good for you. I'm not gonna argue with you and fight. I don't care! All I was saying it took me Friday night and Saturday afternoon to do it. So how about we both drop it now. Later
