[Biturbos4] S4 Headlights being stolen

[Quincy Chiang]

I see this all on the time on the AW S4 forum, It's too bad, and I don't know how you can protect against that.  Well, I'm just glad that Canadian S4's don't have xenon headlights... wait mine does now thanks to aftermarket kit and ecodes ;-)
