I think I'd rather buy a 7" LED truck lens. While expensive, they'd drop right in and output amazing results.

I think it's supposed to indicate "I'm a cartoonist, and I drew a funny thing about Kias with "Type R" badges on them which **** me off by blinding me with purplish light from their badly designed and improperly installed aftermarket headlamps."

Huh- I had no idea that these existed in the aftermarket. Very cool, and probably cheaper than an OEM-quality HID setup.

They seem to average about $500 for a pair from the quick search I did. Defiantly written in on my want list!

You know, it's not like 7" round headlights are particularly difficult to steal, especially from a vehicle like a Jeep.
