Default What Should I Do With My High Beams?

Im looking for suggestions on what I should do with my high beams. I did a bi-xenon projector swap in my headlights so now my high beams are completely useless. I completely blacked them out so that they'd match my blacked out headlights but now they're just pointless and don't do anything and its driving me nuts.

So does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with em? Like leds, ccfl halos, that sorta thing. Pics would help if anyone has any.

You can make them DRLs. Saw a pic of them somewhere on here.

Haha, that's what all my friends keep telling me. Anyone have any pics of what it looks like? The separate high beam is kind of a signature of the SC which is why I don't really like the idea of it, but I might change my mind.

Intake would only be cool if you were using it a a functional intake for a turbo.

Make them "city lights" like E-Class Mercs or 2nd Gen GS300's.

Use HIR bulbs and keep using them as high beams. Nobody ever complained because they had too much light, and woe be to the poor bastard that refuses to dim their lights.

Swap out your plastic high beams for glass high beams.
