Thanks for the ups guys! I definitely apreciate it, this has been one of those things for me where I keep flip flopping on what I want and need to do to the car. I finally ust decided to kick it into high gear and get some shit done just in time for… snow. Better late than never! Most of the guys at the valley aren’t my age and most of them are fine with the way the lights are. Me on the other hand, want more light. Main reason is because after driving vehicles with HIDs installed for 3 years, I can’t really justify not being able to see as well because someone thinks it looks bad. Heck if it saves me from hitting 1 deer/animal/obstacle it’s worth it to me! Just like some of you guys love radar detectors. If it saves you from 1 ticket it’s worth it. Same mentality, different motive. You get the point though. This isn’t a thread about arguing about HIDs though. It’s about my project and what my plans are. I believe there is already an HID argument thread somewhere on here, lol. Listen, as long as you guys are still buying them and my HID quality level remains as high as it has been for the past 2 years I’ll be selling them to anyone who is interested in them for whatever reason they have. People know the consequences and the benefits, and for some the benefits outweigh the consequences. Thanks for the positive replies guys/girls!
