The night breakers will look great in that set. The bulb set should work so I'm not blinding Austin drivers with only one headlight. If you have one, I might take you up on it. Since the right side easy to install, one bulb will do for now.
Sure, would be happy to meet you in San Marcus or something to help out a fellow Xoutposter.

Others are right, bulbs will lose brightness... but LOL 50% of a bulb is 100% more light than you're outputting now. It's only a temp thing guys.

As for Nightbreakers not being worth the money... everyone has their opinions. I'd agree better projectors would be best, but I noticed a difference when going from old tired bulbs to nightbreakers. Now comparing old OE vs. new "premium" bulbs might not be apples to apples, but it gave me the warm fuzzies.
