    At least now you won't have people flashing their brights at you constantly thinking your regular headlights are brights. It's getting old for me. Go full murder though, always a good choice!

    the housing is basically a test for the look. I’ll eventually get around to doing something else. Idk if I’ll get new lights or just use lamin-x.
