What? You mean I am not supposed to install my spark plugs with a half inch impact wrench? Damn.......

Apparently, you are suppose to. And don't forget, they don't need to be changed for 10 years.

haha an impact? and these headlight are awesome ... to a degree. got mine at carid.com angel eyes halo w led. passenger side already broke the seal. i have to cut the splices, pull out the assembly, let them dry for two days, re seal them with clear silicone gasket sealer, and re wire them in. not a fun task. they however are awesome in the dark and people often bright me when i have my low beams on. ill try and get a pic for ya in a couple days. theyre good but might have problems down the road. i had them for two years until one went bad. i dont think the housings like vibration very much.
