Yall have high beams? Ive got projector halogen low beams, some crappy fogs I threw on, and then the lightbar, and thats it lol

I bet they're nice and bright, I hope to swap mine sooner than later!

interesting that they were wired backwards..

 

[donalds]

Yes I have high beams
The headlight socket plastic Deal is brittle But the bulb fits in just fine I think you might have to break a tab off For the wire which is flat so it will fit either way it took 5 minutes

Man, I'd kill for 60s. It's hardly ever that we even get 70s here, 90s and above usually, lucky to get 80s. Literally 84°F lol

Every sense I've lost 120 pounds recently a cool 80 f is nice
Anything lower and I'm cold
Used to be the opposite

As you get older, weight loss gets harder. I got 20 lbs I am having an impossible time getting rid of
