    ALOT!
    I like the look of these but have heard a lot of complaints about the quality as in the led's burning out or partially lighting up

    A little of this and a little of that.
    They do look way darker than the gen-3's I've seen. I wonder if they're not defective. I'd definitely call the place you bought them from and get replacements. You can barely even see them.

    How do you like them? Is the light output ok with the projectors. I've been seriously considering getting these but do not want to if the light output isn't that good. I know I could upgrade them as well if I wanted to. Also would you happen to have any other pictures? Looks good

    How did you ever make out with lights? I really like these but wanted the u-bars visible during the day. May go the retrofit route with them. How are the low and hi beams on them. As compared to stock.

    Looking to get the same lights... just worried about quality, I've had bad experience with halos before when I had a stang.

    Here is a picture of my truck before the 1.25 Alum Spacers.

    I also installed hid kit... 8000k.

    Just installed some on my 2013. Bought them from Autoanything, mine are also dim. Did you ever fix the problem?

    I like them they work very well. I'm actually probably going to be selling my headlights picked up a different set going a different style.

    Ready to upgrade myself, but on the fence as to which way I want to go. I want the style and functionality both, but not sure I want to drop the cash on retros.

    Yeah I dropped the cash on a set of Spyders and had them retrofitted. Everything went well except for the crap paint job Spyder gives you on the bezels. I just should have had them repainted from the gecko. Now I'm looking to get them finished from someone else.

    What's your ballpark cost so far, if you don't mind me asking?

    I bought these. And why am I having a problem installing. My blinker works on one site but not the other. And my running light works on one side. But not the other.

    I am assuming based on the design on the back the adjusting screw is not removable. Additionally I have not seen a U version for a Gen2. Do you have a part#?

    I had problems with Spyder headlights and tail lights on another vehicle. After that I swore to never buy that brand again. Sorry you all are having issues too. I feel your frustration.
