Let There Be Light!

I promise, this will be my last car post for a while. But this was too exciting not to share! Just about my only gripe with my car has been how lousy the headlights were. Granted, I was spoiled by my last car's AWESOME headlights (they were Xenon and moved slightly when the wheel was turned, making the visibility not only bright, but directional!), but the ones on my MS3 were particularly bad. They were really dim and seemed to be pointed too far down at the ground. Well, I couldn't do much myself about where they were pointing (I'm not even good at re-directing the washer fluid jets - I'm certainly not going to try the headlights!), but fixing the dimness turned out to be easy for my live-in grease monkey. We simply ordered an HID bulb kit, and Jim had them installed in less than 20 minutes. The difference is really incredible! I can't wait to go for my first drive at night with them. It'll be great to be able to see again! So here are the before and after shots (SOOC). Not bad, huh?
