Drove by my tire shop of choice (on way to get a haircut) only discover they have closed. Heartbreaking given I've been going there for 14 years. Guess that gives me a reason to go to 285's next set (like I needed a reason).

:tsk:
 
I flew off the road and went into a ditch going too fast around a dirt road out in the middle of the desert. No cell phone reception so couldnt call for help. Tried digging myself out for 4 hours hours before some cowboy came along and pulled me out. Tarantula's started crawling out of the ground while I was digging under the runner. Palo verde scratched my paint. Good times.
 
Installed my [MENTION=12905]XenonDepot[/MENTION] HID kit last night. Pretty easy install. Referenced [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION] install and then went at it. Don't really know how you could actually mess it up.

Light output is amazing. The cutoff is incredible. Was driving on the highway last night and could actually watch the cutoff line bouncing up and down off a car in front of mines bumper with the road movement.

Those two shelves are absolutely perfect to stuff the ballasts and whatnot on. Didn't even need to use zipties or anything. Just velcro-d the ballasts down, and stuffed the rest up in front of it.

Hardest part of the entire install is getting the bulbs to seat in their holes correctly. I practiced a few times using the stock bulb, and still struggled for a bit with each side.
