    They are absolute garbage from what I've heard, but I haven't used them, so don't just take my word for it.

    Those are just the shitty "diamond cut" headlights with a cheapo lens put on the front of them.. so basically it's going to put out even less light than the "diamond cut" ones which are already less than worthless :\

    you're better off just buying Silverstar sealed beams from your local parts store for that price

    i like how it says street legal but a few lines down it says most parts are for off road use only
    It's not failure, it's redefined objectives!

    You would see better if you taped flashlights to your hood to be honest. They suck.
