After flogging my bronco the plastic headlight surround broke in a million pieces leaving me without being able to see. So after about 4 hours today of custom fab work i decided on mounting a set of PIAA's with low and high beams.

Since i had already removed and fabbed up my own core support it was a fairly easy process.

Pretty sweet as they hook directly into my stock harness.

Why didnt you go for some rectangular shaped lights that would fill in the space better? :shrug

Is that really a good idea to hook them into the stock headlight harness? I know lights draw a lot of current and it seems like the stock harness would be drasticaly undersized for that much more current. Have you felt the harness while you had the lights on to see if it's getting warm/hot/melting?

But wiring aside, they look awesome. Nice job.

Just saw this. What is the part numbers on the headlights you used? I would like to use something similar so I can just plug them into the same wiring harness too.
