Teaser: Some "lighting" upgrades

As most of you know, I recently upgraded to OEM bi-x and threw in some 8k D2S bulbs.

I AM selling a basically "new" set of HIDs, but I do have a old, previous set sitting in my garage...

So I decided to...










Yes, this is a giveaway. but take a guess what it is! oh right, to NY drivers, PLEASE dont... be a when driving in front of me!

Disclaimer: Of course, I will not be turning these on when driving. Its just for fun and giggles just to have!

G, please tell me those are HID high beams and not HID parking lights! That's completely out of hand if those are your parking lights.

Nick,

I'ma look into those HID backup lights!

I chose 8000k because I like the color, but you can't see as "good" as those stockers.

but its okay... I have 8000K HID Fogs. and now 8000k HID high beams. right, I also have 8000k LED city lights! haha

btw, I was following my father before, he had no clue, and I threw on the high beams. then called him, and he cursed me out haha
