The Kia/Hyundais that are being stolen have keyed ignition. Doesn't work with push button start as I have. Also, they have implemented anti-theft tech into them.

What a great day. Rehearsal, out to eat with the wife then went to a local hang out to listen to some live music. It was awesome, the beer was cold and a good time was had. Now I am enjoying some homemade chili and relaxing.

Did you say you’re about 10,000 lumens?

I'm not. The deer don't care about laws and no one in Texas cares about Federal regulations.

Joe badge and John Law do not like aftermarket headlights and they do cite for them.

What are the legal headlights in PA?
The headlamp total low beam minimum candle power must not be less than 7,500, the headlamp high beam – less than 10,000. The total candlepower for headlights and auxiliary lights must not exceed 150,000. Headlamps are to be white.
