Excellent write-up on headlights etc

[The Quattro King]

I put the JC Whitney units in the 4K and the are far SUPERIOR to the DOT
units.  The biggest difference is the cutoff pattern.  Although much much
better then the DOT units, the are not quite as defined as a Hella.  I
recommend them for the price.
