Like the guy said above me, brighter with a better surface area and a cleaner cutoff. Yes, you need to code the rear sam unit, or you can buy a facelift rear sam unit.

No front jammer or did you do such a great job that I can't see it? ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
AntiLaserPriority FTW. The blinders aren't useful against the DragonEye LIDAR guns.

Also, change of conversation direction, but do you think I should remove the chrome stripe on the sides of the car?
Like this: (First picture is with the side chrome trim)

I've been debating the same thing myself for my car.
If you plan on going to black it out then I'd say yes. But I assume your quad tips are chrome so maybe it will flow a little better to keep them silver.
What I plan on doing is grabbing some electrical tape and going over the chrome (perfect size, color, and no damage lol) and it will give me a good visual on how it would look. I suggest you try the same and maybe then it will make the decision easier
