Congratulations, Red Bull

Your new JCW looks great, I'm sure you are going to love this car. I like mine more every time I drive it. I see you got it the same place I got mine.

Wanna get rid of the eggyolk look in your headlights (and taillights)? StealthAuto.com

I have the chrome stealth bulbs and they look much better.

I hate them two...I thought the white bulb option would get rid of them....they are not as yellow as the standard but still see them.

With the Stealth bulbs you will see zero amber. I also pulled the amber bulbs out of the side scuttles and replaced them with clears (for about $4 from AutoZone). Easy to do and looks much, much better.
