    I recently ordered and installed a set of Anzo black headlights and corners and installed them. Here are a few pictures of my car as it sits now. I have added nighthawk 3457s to the corner lenses since these pics were taken.
    I am in the process of getting my back windows tinted 20%. Looking forward to seeing what it will look like when the tint is done.

    Comparison of stock lights vs black housings









    I have another socket for the drivers side corner lens as it is cracked around the seal. Haven't gotten around to it yet. The drivers side is not near as bad as in the last pic now though.

    Thanks. Steelies were brand new last December. Have studded winter tires on them. I'm liking the look of the steel wheels in the winter time more recently. Lot of ppl around here put hideous $30 wheel covers on gps.

    Wheels were brand new last Dec. Were only on for about 3 months.

    I believe that is dirt in the pics. They haven't been properly cleaned since I put them on this season.

    Yes. Probably. lol. There was a bunch of dirt stuck to them when I took them out of the garage. Our driveway is all gravel and they got quite muddy when I was putting them away this past spring.

    Thanks for the replies. In response to the blue comments, I was responding to an earlier post by bluegtp91. The brackets aren't bad. There isn't enough room to pull wiring through like the stock brackets though.

    The fog on the drivers side is because my corner lense socket is cracked around the rubber seal. I got a brand new one from dealer. I just haven't put it on yet as it has wiring that has to be put on with a soldering gun which I do not have. It isn't as fogged up as that now though.

    The tint is done now. Wasn't able to get a good pic of it yet though as I got home when it started to get dark here.

    You're welcome. You may have to buy some new drain plugs as they are not supplied with them and the seals on your old ones could be getting soft. My housings came with bulbs though.

    Very nice!! I love Dark Bronzemist, it's my favorite color.

    Off-topic, what type of side-window visors did you get? I'm currently looking at the GTS sport-vents line because they are smaller than the regular ones sold by everybody.
