          if youre going to paint/ tint your lenses you might as well upgrade to HiDs to negate any loss in light output.

                If you don't like the high beams with the cross hairs, I will be more than happy to buy them from you :)

                        Have you seen them in person? You have to be dead on in front of them for them to not be smoked, even then they're still smoked, just not as much. And no one is really ever in that position. My sig is about as far off as they get.

                          Too bad you got banned before I told you some guy here was making them pre cut and mailed to your door.

                              I have a set of W123 yellow high beams that swap in easily on any US car, they're in near perfect shape too. $35 + shipping takes them, let me know.
