Default You might think it's Hideous... [new pic btm pg1]

So I know most cars on here are more about form than function, but I decided to go the other route and do something I could actually use - when I go up to the mountains, I do a lot of night runs.

Need more grip, get better tires
Need more light, get more lights

I think it's funnier that your car looks like Imola in the pic. Anyway, if you like it and it helps then I'm down Just don't keep it like that

lol, sorry for the crappy phone pic. I wish it was Imola.

The bracket can easily be removed/installed in 5 minutes max, so no worries. Though with it getting darker sooner now, I may leave it on for a while. The amount of light I get is unreal.

gotta love s2ki. there's always something new.

I guess if it helps you on your nightly runs, then

But couldn't you opt for brighter HIDs instead?

I could have opted for better HIDs, but the beam pattern would still be the same. With these, I can see the inside/outside of a corner before I even get there.

Though the lights do shine pretty far, I get them mainly for visibility around tight corners. The outside lights on the bar are HIDs and are pointed at an angle so that they spread out far beyond the reach of the normal headlights.

Wouldnt those blind other drivers?

As long as you can take them off quickly, its a great idea. Maybe you could get a Jurassic Park paint job and see what kind of looks you get.
