    How is the lows? I don't use the high beams as much but having actual light for lows would be awesome. most times I don't even feel like my lights are on unless it's pitch dark

    lows are also better, most the time i'm driving in the city where there is lots of street lights so I don't notice it as much, when I'm in the country well I usually have my highs on cuz theres no lights haha. but like it says in the thread, its more then twice as bright at stock bulbs.

    I cut my antenna down by nearly a foot. No issues with mine.

    Just weld/ glue the ball and wire back to the end and repaint it. Your GTG.
