I'm going to lower the rear of my truck w/o adjusting my headlights, get these ION
lights, use my fog lights 24/7, and get some driving lights and use them 24/7,
too. All of these will be wired together, and run off their own battery. That
would make 6 lights aiming up with a rainbow of colors, from blue to yellow to
bright white.
But seriously, folks, Miles is probably right, as the fancy white lights we all
see on Mer's et. al. are totally different. They are different headlight units,
from the bulb to the reflective stuff behind. These 80/100 lights could blind the
heck out of people, hense if I get them, I'm using my blackouts. BTW, these
things are $40 a pair.
