This compromises your visibility. The best kits fit perfectly, modern and compact design, function as they should, and offer the brightest light. The 2018 Supernova V.4 LED and SL1 LED headlight bulbs are examples of perfect headlights. They produce twice to thrice the amount of light produced by factory halogen bulbs.
