Ok, I am literally LOL @ you calling Nam "Mini Mits"! That made my day even though I got a bad performance review at work today (mostly deservedly so).

I used the superbrightleds.com bulbs. The 6-Led bulb. They are pretty darn bright if you ask me. I really like them. The glare isn't as bad as the camera makes it out to be.








With the headlights on


This one came out a bit bluer than it actually is
