Thank you, guys.

The side marker look cool. Does it come as the whole thing or just the light itself.

Here is another one.

You know, Chris, there are a lot of programs for your computer that will take out the unsightly red spots showing through the spokes of your wheels. Try the Red-Eye function....

Take out the red. Oh no, I need brighter red may be (brake dust is so annoying).

After couple of days, I think the brake is beded in properly. I really love the feel and it performs as good as expected.

Really worth every penny.

They are just the replacement lens and bulbs. I bought them from Outmotoring.
