No, 20% (or so they said) all around...except front. The front side windows look lighter in the sun than the back side windows do, that's the only thing I don't like!

BTW, I was driving around earlier, at night of course, testing them out. I'm pretty sure it is just the design, but when they are on the light pattern that shines out is kind of blocky. You know how regular headlights have a round beam that spreads evenly...Mine's blocky. [&:] I hope it is just the design. If you look at the bottom right pic just above here, there is a squarish pattern just in front of where the bulbs are. I am thinking it is reflecting off those. Don't know if that is part of the design or if the bulbs are misaligned. Kind of funky lookin'! Any suggestions?

Nevertheless, they look amazing compared to stock!!!

You're walkin' on eggshells, man!!! J/K! To each his own. But here's a pic of the Halos installed. Need to wait til I clean the car to take good pics and a good weather night to take night pics (snow flurries currently). I'm gonna see about writing a DIY article this weekend for y'all cuz I remember at least one person asked about it.
How did they fit and did you have to re-wire anything?

Had to take the bumper off and loosen up most of the bolts on the fender to do the job right. But as to the wiring, the blinker/running light bulb goes right in the outside hole where it would on the old lights, the headlights/brights are two different sets of wires spliced into one plug that plugs into the same place as the old headlight bulb and you can splice the halo wires into the running light wires (there are only a power and ground wire for the halos [simple]). I spliced them into my running lights which are also hooked to my gauge lights on their own different system.

Kind of like how some people have a switch that is dedicated to only their neon lights, I have one that controlls my gauge lights, running lights and halos. Reason being because I had my running lights by themselves and I always left 'em on accidentally, so now if I leave em on, the gauge lights'll stay on reminding me to turn the switch off (don't know if I explained myself very well...) Anyway, I took pics of all that...Where the wires go, pics of the plug that I'm talking about, etc. and I'll put all that into the DIY...I'll try to make the pics small enough that the 56k-ers don't have too much trouble (lots of pics!!!)

I didn't know k2 was an eBay affiliate! But I know there is also new stuff on eBay...I'm just newer at eBay-ing and don't want/know how to sift through other people's leftovers to find a cheap brand new still in the box product when I want it.
