    I've never considered big headlights a drawback.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob, I am almost certain that those are aftermarket
    units.....you can usually tell if you look really close....
    they differ slightly from originals.

    Bob, do you need a reinforced headlight bar for those? I
    think that they would vibrate quite a bit when the car is
    moving....and a vibrating headlight is quite a distraction
    to the driver. And dont suggest duct tape as a solution,
    that detracts from the lines.

    Bob with headlights that BIG you'd better make absolutely sure the mounting bracket is heavy duty. If your head was under those BIG headlight and the mounting bracket gave way you'd be as dead as a door nail. However you would most likely have a BIG smile on your face even a mortician could not get off your face.

    Robot thinks those big'uns are aftermarket and you can tell by looking closely from originals but I bet those HIGH BEAMS would blind a fella. The question is "IF" a person's eyesight was very poor could he tell the difference from original equipment by touch or taste?

    Now I know where the term "DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS" came from.
