i understand why people are so shocked at how much people spend on their headlights, but it's the same shock factor when you realize how much money people spend trying to make their D17s faster by adding i/h/e (easily over $1000 if new)

if you could get LEDs to light up the road like HIDs then that would be ideal. they draw the least amount of current and would last for freaking ever.

There's no screw for the left and right adjustment. Honda didn't trust us. There's only the adjustment for the up and down. So make sure your alignment is correct before you seal it up.

I thought about adding white CCFL rings too from a cpu fan but its hard to find white for some reason. I find mostly blue or red.
