Seriously those are dangerous. I know you just bust ass installing them and all but for the sake of oncoming traffic dont drive with those lights. Are you using factory lenses? Maybe try some aftermarket ones that have a reflector cap over to top of the bulb? You’re going to piss alot of people off, I hope you dont pass a cop. ---

i personally like them. my eyes aren’t that good so i sometimes struggle driving at night. those lights would really help me out, but i do agree what most of these guys here are saying. cars on front of you might get blinded by those, but it’s better them than you. lol. i’m thinking of installing those my self, we’ll see… ---
