Another Jet Black!

Here's Wicked Wanda with her PIAA 540s (I think....been a couple years, not sure). They were purchased in a NAM group buy for about $225 and an independent mechanic, Stephen, in Birmingham, AL installed them for $100.

I used to have some images in my gallery but had to make room...they are simply stainless L brackets that were roughtly 3.5" by .75" and 3/16" thick bolted to the bumper beam...

How well do these work by themselves (without using the larger driving lights I mean)? I like the look...
