    lol what makes you think 7500K purple lights are going to be "better" than stock lights? lol

    You do know what the 35% tint means right? It means only 35% of the light will get through the film.....
    So basicly, you reduced your light output down to about 25-35% of the original output, due to the shit color and tint.

    Might as well tint your windshield while you're at it.

    The tint shop owner says he sells them all the time. He says some people want to go darker than these. He laughed at me toady when I went and saw him and told him how dangerous they were. He ended up paying for my new bulbs to help offset some of the cost for me. I think I am going to cut out a whole about the size of the stock fogs and see how it looks. at least I will be able to see and if it looks like crap I will just take them off and do the BHLM mod.

    I think it looks good, and so much safer. Do you like it? That's all that matters.

    You should have used lamin-x. It's super dark but still allows 95% of light through and you can not notice the 5% loss at all

    Not sure how that would work? If it looks super dark, it's because visible light is not getting through. If it let through 95% of the light, the film would look clear. Even 88% is very light.
