Oopsies! I've been wanting H4s anyway for a long time now...

Today, just minding my own business, not bothering anyone, sitting still, stopped in position #3 for the drive up ATM at my bank. Then suddenly car #2 had a change of plans and threw it into reverse and floored it right into me. I didn't even have time to hit the horn before the impact. Turns out, very nice fellow, has insurance, claim on the way, etc. all ill be well soon. I'm gonna get me those H4s !

Same happened to me, $9500.00 in damage be wary! If its Geico, get attorney now, or you will be sorry.

Sorry to see that. Probably close to $5k in damage.

I was the unfortunate recipient of H4's in the same way several years ago.

Sounds like possible insurance scam to me...

Changing to H4s

You probably should add a headlight relay kit when you change the headlights. Doing so will protect the headlight switch and high/low beam switch. Also, with the relay kit in place, you will be able to use a higher wattage bulb if desired. Good luck getting your car fixed!
