Just got mine off the big Brown truck. Northridge.ca included an extra set of pigtails that should be a direct no-trim fit. Looking forward to a quick install tonight!

Quick edit/addendum... damn these things were easy to install. I did have to trim the new pigtails ever-so-slightly to get the lock to catch - I mean just shaved off a 32nd of an inch.

Will comment on the beam/pattern/results tonight - but initial impression is that I prefer the IPF lenses over the stock bubble-lights.

I put Silverstar Ultra bulbs in mine and I love the lights. The pattern is much better than the stockers and the Ultra bulbs work great. My $.02 worth.

Note that lights are starting to come like that deliberately. A little higher on the passenger side allows for illumination of street signs, with less blinding of oncoming traffic.

someone posted that you can get 130/120W bulbs for the IPF Light kit. Where can I get these bulbs at. Mine came with 60/55W bulbs

I would think that a 130/120w bulb would melt your wires pretty quickly.

Maybe whoever posted this info was taking about something like the German made Philips Xtreme Power 9003/H4/HB2 60/55W bulb? It's supposed to put out a lot more light than other bulbs.

The blue bulbs come in a pack of two. The whites are singles that is the easiest way to tell.

You get the free shipping and you get the new pigtails and you get them for the sale price of 149.95

Thanks

Installed mine today from Northridge 4x4!

I should have read this before I installed it. I need to go apply that grease better and figure out how to trim the triangle thing on the connector to the factory harness. I ran out of daylight to complete the job to my liking, but man are these an improvement!
