Hey guys! just got my first car for school

Your inner lights are for high beam. However, your parking lights (the small wedge bulb in the same housing) should be on with your headlights.

ha. your headlights arent broken. at worst your wedge bulbs might just be blown. i actually took mine out on purpose, imo the car looks better at night with just the hid low beams and the yellow fogs with no running lights in the middle.



you're next move besides buying tires for those new stock wheels should be getting those front plate holes filled.
