How much of a difference would you say there is from doing the whole housing swap vs just a lens swap?

Also, with the housing/fixture swap like you did, does everything bolt right up and plug in, or is there any custom modification/soldering/wiring etc needed? Any bulb out warning etc?

Thanks, look forward to a full writeup!

Is there a need to recaliber lights
So when they replace the lens and/or housing, do we need to recalibrate the headlights so that they are pointing at the right height?

If so, who and how is it done?

You can always adjust the height yourself as long as they are as close as factory. There is an adjustment for that.

Although they are complete and installed I am waiting on final tuning and adjustment before my review and pics. Right now I am out of the country so it will have to wait till I get back.
