I tried to believe the hype that they were brighter and could focus the light if I bought high quality LED’s so I tried it with 4 different $100-$150 pairs in my truck. It sure was bright!

3rd gear. 15% isn’t good enough. Maybe they are slashing some other tariffs too but if its just cars and just 15% that only puts us where we were. China is on the ropes and we need to hold out for better.
