The stock head lights sucks as is, why help them suck more?
It will just look... bad... and sticking a vinyl on top of a head light just does not seem smart...

Not only ricey but an unsafe idea IMO. LT1 headlights suck, so you're making it awfully risky to drive at night. I drive realll slow at night because I live in the boonies so there's the moonlight, my headlights, and deer/bears. I wouldn't think to lower the quality of my lights

Yeah that screw on. I keep them on for a show or during the day, take them off at night. Never driven at night with them on. Ask anyone here

why make your highbeams darker is what I dont understand. It doesn't have the "wow" appeal to sacrifice safety.
