🧠 Tips Before Buying
✔ Lens heating (like in Panther Heat) helps big time in snow/slush. (Valostore)
✔ Make sure to get a relay harness with switch — improves reliability & dims errors.
✔ Aim bars slightly downward on roads to avoid blinding other drivers.
✔ Check if your bar is ECE R112/ECE-approved if you want it legal as high beam.
