Default IceShark's Light Cannons (pics)

Here are some pictures comparing before and after the installation of IceShark's headlight kit. I used the same camera settings for all pictures (ISO 50, F8.0, and 5 second exposures).

Old low-beams:


New low-beams:


New high-beams:


Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the old high-beams. But as you can see, there is a huge difference between the old and new low-beams. I really like how much the light spreads out to the sides. Notice how those 2 poles on the right side aren't even visible with the old headlights? I can actually see what's coming up while going into a turn at night time now.

Nice comparisons! That's the motivation I need to get off my butt to the install...

I said GET BACK! WOW, man! You could burn the hair off a mouse's *** at 100 yards with those things! I've seen Icesharks' lights mentioned before, but what's the dealio? Halogens?? Not HID's. How much cash and how hard is the install?

Great pics, I have been using IceSharks Light Cannons for about a year now and your pics do show the HUGH improvement over stock.

Actually, if you stand in front of the headlights when they're on, it can get uncomfortably warm pretty quickly.

I got it from Rennlist member IceShark. You can do a search to find out more info or just send him a PM.

I finally installed mine last week, but I didn't get any comparison pics, but those you just posted say it all. EXCELLENT kit, and you'll be nose to nose with the best HID kits out there at like 1/3 the cost. The install isn't that bad either, messing with the alternator is the hardest part.

And yeah you can literally feel the heat coming off of them if you get within a foot or two of the front

I noticed a difference in the interior lights with the extra ground that comes with the lighting kit too! Haven't sprung for the positive cable yet but I"m so impressed with the light kit that I might have to do it!
