Looks great! How much was the headlight upgrade, and is there a big difference?

$40 on amazon. Not a big difference but noticeably brighter.

You get a whiter light from them, and a little brighter at the cost of longevity though.

I wouldn't say whiter. They seem to be at about the same color temp, just brighter. I would agree that longevity sucks for these bulbs, but from experience, I carry replacement bulbs haha.

I've already tried. If you go to where your headlight bulbs are, there is no room for LED or HID ballasts unless you make a hole int he cover and seal it. I've tried the smaller LED bulbs with small ballasts and the ones without and their output is pure crap.

muffler delete or something new?
How it sounds????? Post a vid plzZz
Muffler deletes. Took out both mid muffler and rear muffler. It's a bit too loud with both off and too quiet with just the mid off. Going to find a decent muffler or resonator to get the middle of that lol.
