I've never been a fan of the fixed light mod. But that's just my opinion. Not looking to start a war.

When you get your website up and running, another good idea would be to photoshop non-pop ups with your front facia. I think it would look awesome.

Certainly cheaper to fix the headlight than to switch to fixed ones. I like the looks of the fixed headlights, but not to the tune of about a grand.

As long as you are going in there you might as well replace the stock plastic cogwheel with the brass ones you can buy from Mid America or Eckler's. Those plastic ones strip way to easily

although i have to admit that i'd prefer non-pop-ups, $1K clears my thinking quite nicely. that's just about a set of new tires! bub
