I'd never do that personally. It takes away from what headlights are for - illumination. Looks sweet for sure but not that practical IMO.
Projector lenses have a dark look to them when they bulb isn't on & light up like nobodies business in a focused pattern when they're on.
I like to be able to see & be seen, that goes for tail lights as well.

I agree with this...even though I have had tinted taillights on a car before. But, I also had an LED third brake light that flashed with my turn signals, so people could see when I was stopping and/or turning.

The problem is back once again . When I drove to work on Sunday it hesitating when accellerating up to 40-60 mph. It seem like it only doing it when I take the first run of the day then for the rest of the day it alright but still have some hesitating in it. So I don't know what to do now.

I got my ball joints installed today. Took about 2.5 hrs. (due to a few 'OMG I'm such a dumb***' moments) Overall, not too bad.

I've been working on mine off and on for the last few weeks. Here is my got done list.

1. All four ball joints
2. All four tie rods and both adjusters
3. Idler arm
4. Pitman arm
5. Most of the hard brake lines
6. Front rotors turned and new pads
7. New rear wheel seals both sides.
8. Drain and refill rear differential
9. New rear differential cover
10. Both rear shackles with new bushings in frame and springs
11. Replace rear wiper motor with used one that works
12. New rear washer motor
13. Remove and clean contacts on rear wiper/washer switch
14. Repaint rear wiper arm
15. Remove seats and carpet to fix two holes the were letting water in
16. Install CB with mag mount cable run under carpet
17. Changed oil and filter
18. Scrubbed carpets and cleaned every thing to almost new car clean
19. Fixed broken wire that kept my front seat from working
20. Removed and cleaned contacts on mirror adjustment switch
21. Four new shocks
22. Remove front bumper and replace with one that wasn't bent
23. Put a new shine on the front grill
24. Removed right door panel and pushed out a deer dent
25. Two new tires to pass PA inspection
26. New brake bleeders and brake fluid flush

My wife says I'm OCD and I need to focus on what I'm fixing. She doesn't understand how one project can turn in to many other things. When I started out it was only supposed to be lower ball joints, two tires and check the brakes.

Good Work! I sorta agree with her... But I envy your ambition.
