Hella E-code headlights

Hella 80/100W bulbs

Based on your input, I ordered this setup on Monday...unfortunately the lense was out of stock so I won't have it until next week.

I like to be seen day or night so I have been converting everything to LED's. It's spendy but doing it piece meal doesn't seem to hurt as bad, just hurts longer
