        hate/love, but that is just hideous

        Clean them off, and do something lighter.

        PS: I really like your car overall, but if you want to keep those lights, go for yellow tint like french cars. Orange just doesn't belong on your color car.

          I'd have to agree with him

            does amber just for looks? or is this a color band that actually does something positive for the lighting/driving experience?

              It reminds me of the blinky lights on top of a school bus.

                Better than having a black hood I must say.

                  that shade of yellow/orange should be reserved to turn signals only. High beams should be a lighter yellow.

                        Yellow and amber increase the contrast that you see, same reason blue lights actually hinder vision. Why you would need amber highs in terms of functionality, I don't know.

                        This applies more to the yellow that people tend to call amber.

                            Always good to try something different.
                            Personally I think it is too dark of a shade of yellow/amber.

                            What matters is that you like it. If you do, rock it!

                              Maybe if the trim rings around the headlights/high beams were sliver, it'd be better. Other than that....I think they're 'meh'.

                              BTW....got any shots of your car from the back?? I want to get a better look at the M-Tech II wing you have. :D
