    Mainly for the cool factor. I'm loving the quad projectors. Got a lightly used set from Calvin2727 so if they're absolute junk im not out a bunch of cash and its not going to hurt my feelings. Besides I have plenty of light upfront if needed.

    Garbage, garbage, garbage. @crashnburn80 you need to get your stuff stickied so these people stop wasting money on junk. Buy One Cry Once.

    Good thing you have other lights and you're not worried about performance - because that's not what you're going to get.

    No aftermarket LED assembly outperforms the OEM with an H9 bulb, the gen2 Morimoto does but barely. The only LED headlight worth getting is the OEM LED headlights. Unless you want style, then go for what you like. Just a suggestion, look into swapping out the Baja Designs for some Diode Dynamics SS3 fog lights (pro or max) as they blow away the Baja Designs...it's not even close how much better they are.

    Alpharex is also Chinese garbage.
