Same here.

usnfenix, not usnfexix
don't not dnt
unbearable, not unbareable
lol ya WICKED im glad- i dont even know where you were going with that
i laugh at good min or 2- i laughed for a good min or 2 is how that should be written
courteous, not curtious
thats for all the comments tho- you mean thanks? yea thought so.
getting, not getn

i rest my case.
Grammar, not grammer.
That's, not thats.
Can't, not cant.
Rooting, not routing.
You're, not your.

Agree with your points on the subject, but pot, meet kettle.

Just because people don't stop you to tell you your headlights are blinding doesn't mean they aren't.

Not everybody else does it that way.. Some of us do things the correct way.

I got blinded by a pickup truck, corolla, and a honda of some sort tonight. All had HID's in stock housings. I wound up behind the pickup and my projector setup was quite obviously lighting the road better than his. You could tell when I hit a bump just by looking in front of him.

It was a joke.. I was poking fun at halogens producing so much glare they light the trees behind you.

You could put LEDs in the reverse, many do.. Really helps with dark tint and LEDs really update the interior and exterior of your car.

For me, it was just under $600. It came with the full HID setup. Ballasts, bulbs, harness, all were included.
