interesting.........did you test it on the road?

do you think the coverage is better/worse than stock output/color?

heard so many times that blue color might get u harder to focus on the road and all that....

The cops knew they where not factory lights and that I had other mods, then they look for reasons to pull me over. They never pulled me over directly for my lights, but I was pulled over 4 times in 6 week all at night, went back to factory lights and never had a problem with the popo at night.

aurora or something like that? Got them off ebay. But like I said, the cops just know it's not OEM. And I have freind that's a cop and they said they normally target people with visually modified cars, rather it be body kit, big wing, or whatever, and at night all they can really see is your lights.

It's just me, I hate look different now because not only do normal people look, but you get cops attention too.
