If you say it increases the light output, that's great. But if not for that, it just looks much better than stock.

IT really does increase output and has a cleaner cutoff line. those lines that used to be in there caused stray light beams to go in different direction. now that its clear the light comes out and shines on the street exactly how it comes out of the projector.

good eye. its for my external speakers so when i roll through the ghetto i can bump my system and be cool as shiz. also i can get on the loudspeaker and tell peepz to get out of my way. j/k

ok foreal now. When i did my retro the guy that did it decided to use speaker wires because they are more flexible to run my power wire for my HID ballast for my low beams.
