Looks great! Ever think about putting lights in the wheel wells for rock crawling?

The lights are much brighter than they look in the pics. Had to get pretty far away or it was like taking a pic of the sun. I think they will get the job done.

My new LED's made me realize how dim and yellow my stock sealed beems where so I decided it was time to upgrade the stock headlights as well.
Didn't want to deal with re-wiring for HID and finding room to mount ballasts so I went with new housings and H4 bulbs.

Cibie housings had the best reviews on the net for optics, with glass lens that put more light on the road and not the cheap plastic fast and furius housings

install was quick and easy , plugs right in to stock connnector. since my van is lifted and the lights have more downward angle. I figured I could get away with a slightly hotter than legal H4 bulb

Here's the before

And the much whiter and brighter after

High beams

I don't think the glare is bad either

Cibies. I am officially jealous. Well done. Thanks for not putting hid bulbs in them. Osrams are also primo. But you know that already.
