I'd give you his # but idk if we're cool like that yet. Pm rupees88 and ask him nicely to see if he'll give it up. I just dropped my lights off with the dude yesterday. Got my fingers crossed. I hope they turn out as nice as his others have had.

Yeah, halogen projectors not HID projectors . That's why everyone buys the TRS retro-quick kit for them.

They're not legal. They're just no longer blinding people.
