spyder halo projector headlights... reviews? Opinions?

I'm looking to replace my F150 2009 Lariat headlights with these:
http://spyderauto.com/product.php?id...D-FF15009-HL-C

I found several online places that sell it.

Opinions anyone?

It says it comes with HI and lo beam lights. How are they?
Or can the lights be swapped out for other HID lights?

I ordered mine online from Ebay with 6000k HIDs included in the package for $320. I got the "smoked" version to match my Platinums darker (stainless stee look) grill.

They should be here Wednesday.

smoked version:

Sorry, I havent been on here in a couple days. Im at work where ebay is blocked. I will get you a link. Ill see if its on my phone too.

There was not a wattage or color option. The HIDs are the slightly less powerfull 35w (rather than 50w or 55w). I researched it a bit and some say theres a big diff, others say theres little difference. Also,the HIDs did not come with a relay wiring harness (some kits do and some dont... its aparently a big debate whether the relay is needed) so we'll see if they work okay.

I received them last night and they look REALLY good in person. Better than the pics. It was too cold, too late, and theres too much wiring to have put them on last night. Its not a quick plug and play with the LEDs and Angel eyes. Plus the HIDs can be a little tricky because you have to make some cuts. Also, they didnt send me all the screws so I have to go buy some self taping screws to mount the ballasts. I will post some pics of the kit up close and some more after installed.

Here are a few phone pics... more to come when weather isnt so cold.

My take: Headlights look GREAT. A bit darker than I thought the smoked would be but I like em a lot. Halos and LEDS are dim. Halos are REALLY dim n not visible in daylight. LEDs are slightly visible in daylight. HIDs that came in package are only 35w and could use more power. 50-55w is the better choice. The 6000k HIDs in this pkg are the perfect (non-blue...non-ricer)HID color. The design of the hi-beams blows away the poorly performing stock hi-beams fot those hating the stock hi-beams like me..

Are these MADE FOR HID lights? Is the pattern right? Are you spotting owls?
