What a pain in the ass that job was. Both hands are all scraped up and I ripped part of my thumb on the metal, and also jammed it. About half way thru it started raining on me. Make a long story short I finally got them in. 
Once again its a blurry iPhone picture, I didn't have my XTi with me. Not a ton brighter than stock, but a little bit.
Oh yeah, and I was curious to open up the cover for the bi-xenox lights and the 2 clips snapped off.
I noticed at night when the projectors shine there is alot of dust it looks like that is on the headlight. Should I have used some compress air to get any loose dust out of the inside.

Looks good: some scrapes, blood, and pain are a small price to pay for a great mod. What kind of AE's did you end up going with?

Ordered them from elite motor sports, got them lightning fast, great guy. Much cheaper than the angel brights. I think I still have some blood on the bumper, I'll get that off tommorow.
