I do, but I got used to it. People don't know until I tell them..then they are like "oooooooooooh yea I see them now" So I just don't tell people. lol.


Nice mang!!!! I bet you love the dremel.

I do, if I had one of those cordless ones I'd carry it around in my back pocket like a pocket knife.


very nice job! how much would u sell it for? :mbiggrin:

Thanks...I have no idea. Probably not that much.

Looks awesome. I want to do this but I feel like I'd fail and ruin a set of lights. Or I wouldn't be able to aim them.

It's definatley on my to-do list for my car. But I need to concentrate on school, money-wise, for my last semester. Responsibility sucks.
