$209 for the pair? Sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with these?

I noticed some website traffic coming from this forum, and saw people had questions I thought I would answer them.

Thanks for replying... I respect your honesty.. Better headlights can't ever be a bad thing. Especially ones that put less strain on 40+ year old wiring.. That's why I started this business, I drive my 71' Beetle about 70 miles per day as my daily driver. I switched from sealed beams, to H4 Halogens, and wanted something better since I still use a generator. |
