Default Upgrades to XJR

Hey guys. Not sure if anyone has done it, but I highly recommend the Parrot for blue tooth. Works flawlessly. And is a must.
The car is getting new headlights today. Really think the stock is not up to par with any modern car today. They need to be much brighter. Where I live on Long Island, at night, the roads are dark, and its difficult to see. I will let you know what I (mechanic) did to the headlights, and how they are when I get it back. I drive my 2015 Navigator regularly, and I can tell you that the 13 yrs difference in the two cars might as well be 25, as for the lights. The stock lights are not up to par. I think they are dangerous.

If your mechanic puts a higher wattage bulb in your headlights, remove them immediately and find a new mechanic. The wiring is sized based on the standard wattage, over time your connectors will melt and the wiring itself will turn silver from the heat.
