factory has a cutoff that will allow you to see street signs. There is a big difference.

Yeah, I use to run a shop... but we were smart enough to sell back the stuff we knew would be worth something.

So what's your preferred method? Do you just go ask or do you go dumpster diving?

Just roll up to the shop owner and ask. They'll give you stuff they think is worthless and ready to just dump.

I depends, were they HID projectors or just regular projectors? If they were HIDs then that was a deal, but shoulda kept them or sold them for more.
