Great pic to prove a point. Are they any good for 'night riding'? (no Hasssllehofff or KITT jokes please)

 
My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.

How to Install an HID/Bi-Xenon Light Kit


I bought and installed the same kit that narsisco writes about. It was a very simple process and is the best lighting solution i have ever come across.

Thanks again, narsisco !!!!
