Light spread is 'different' but about the same....Worth the improved looks for sure.

Headlights match well with the car. Smoke the clear corner to make it flow better .

Ps. I can see that the snow starts to melt and it's time for some sunshine.

My last few 'smoking' attempts were disasters.

Now a solid Euro impact strip I might consider.
