I like the amber bulbs in the side markers, but gotcha!

Do you not have HIDs? These driving lamps are so vastly over-powered by the headlights, there's little - very little - visibility difference w/ them on. Perhaps 1 - 3 feet to the very lower edges of the road.

I don't mean to get off topic, but how are your headlights so clean? One of mine is starting to get that old, dirty plastic look. Does anyone know a product that would take this off? I assume it is on the outside and not the inside.
