Looks like they would be a safety hazard & illegal?

My opinion is a big no on the headlights. Most likely would be an invitation for LEOs to stop you and would think they would present a safety hazard.

They should call them "Lack of headlights". Why would anyone in their right mind install these?

Looks awesome!

I had some tint on mine. Liked the look but not enough light at night.

I have side markers and backup light tinted.

Just had the halo painted. Guess I need a new pic.

Like others… looks cool but I would never do it. Gives cops a reason to stop you and gives insurance a reason to blame you for an accident.

Definitely looks good, not sure about the legal aspect and the reduced lighting.
