I like the SC with the high beams but I know that it gives more airflow to radiator and intercooler without it.

I agree it looks crazy without the high beams and at the same time why would you want to remove your high beams????

I was thinking of wiring the high beams for low beams and vice versa.

What's the pro's and con's?

I'm not saying it's going to be the new trend guys. Just trying to keep everyone involved haha.

I think both look good but at the same time i would not spend a dime on getting the delete. Unless i was competing and every single thing count and my car benefited from deleting the high beams cuz of weight/air flow.

On a track car you could use the high beam holes to direct air into the engine bay efficiently.

Seeing all thats directly behind and right around those high beams, it would take a fair amount of fabrication to open those high beam holes up to be of good use. But, it'd be pretty damn cool to see some turbo inlets poking through them!

Before picking my SC up I will say I was highly turned off by the look of the high beams. Even now, I say they don't fit the rest of the shape of the car... but they seem to be a necessary design point of the car some how. The car does look a bit... off without them. Also, these are the best damn brights I've had in any car. Super bright and they seem to shine for a mile. That alone would make me want to keep them.
