it will only blow a fuse at the end of the day, and only if the wires r touching so keep them apart, tape?

I've seen a few range rovers with that done and to be honest in your head in seems good but once its on it looks tacky as ****.

Would probably look better no an astra or corsa d with the longer head lights but dont think it'll look right with a corsa c, but you can always take them out again if they dont!

Looks best on cars with angular lights i.e. Audi
