I understand that they’re heavy, as in Monogram/10 Series heavy, they require some play to get the lighting right, and sunlight may wash out the “boomerang”. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Lighting sucks. I have HIDs in mine but it's still bad. The projectors are halogens which mean they're suited for halogen bulbs. The light output is subpar, hotspots and an erratic cut off line. I've heard some people say their highbeams are stuck "on" as well on one of them so they have to keep flicking them on and off to get the flap to low again.

I don't like the boomerang color, it's a bluish instead of white, so I plan on changing out the LEDs in them to white when I open them up to replace the projectors as well to morimoto minis.

Also, this applies to spyder as well as any other aftermarkets. The headlight will lose it's UV coating in a year. It'll start to peel and crack.
