I'd like to see a pic of them installed in a car and a pic of them in action, if anyone has them.

I just put a set in my Nova yesterday that I bought from Detroit Speed when I stopped by there last week, I like the look.

Do these have a glass lens? What bulbs do they accept? There isn't much info on DSE's site.

Info from their site copied below. 9007 replaceable bulb and polycarbonate lens.

These headlights use a replaceable halogen bulb (9007, found in local parts stores) and provide up to 1500 hours of low beam light. The bulb and connector are sealed, preventing lamp leakage and connector corrosion. The Gore-Tex vent provides a one-way filter for water vapor to escape, and the polycarbonate lens is up to 30 times more impact resistant
than glass.

Simple install, a little grinding on the core support and they fit perfect, comes with lights, bulbs and adapter to hook up to your existing 3 prong plug in.

If your current lamps aren't getting ~14v to the plug, you'll be disappointed at any lamp upgrade.

How do you get 14volts to the plug?

Basically the current way your wiring will have the electricity flow is long and not efficient. All the power for your headlights is currently going from the distribution point, through the harness, through the headlight switch, back through the bulkhead connector, and finally out to your headlights. All that length is causing voltage drop.

What you want to have is a feed from your main distribution point on your firewall that has an inline fuse go to feed relays that are setup near the headlights. You will want to run #12 wire to feed these relays and have them protected with the proper sized fuse for what your headlights will draw. You then have the wire that used to feed your headlights act as the "switch" to engage the relays which will then send power out to your headlights from your new larger wire source.

Hope that makes sense. If it doesn't refer to this link for additional info. http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/brighter-headlights.shtml
