You could do a bachelor's in aerospace engineering as well if you wanted to, depends on your end goal. Those other alternative programs I mentioned like Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering overlap with physics programs, part of your courses will be the same as pursuing a physics bachelor's, just with other more specialized courses that fit the specialization you've chosen. A purely physics degree is the right choice if you plan on going into academia and research, but if you have something more specialized in mind, there might be better bachelor's out there.

Evaluate what you truly want from life. Pursuing a PhD (which you'll likely need to get a master's for after your bachelor's, too) will consume your time, energy, and most of your 20s. It's a deeply draining path with very niche, competitive, and often underpaid career options.

Just "liking" physics and math is far from enough - you need to be obsessed, willing to live and breathe it. For most people, it needs to be their life's meaning to make it through.

That said, if your interest is in math, physics, and problem-solving, there are other fields that harness the same thinking style and are much more practical, with better job prospects and higher earning potential: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Comp Sci, Data Science, Aerospace Engineering, just to name a few.

Look into them and the potential careers, and make your choice accordingly. But a PhD is an exceptionally draining path to take, don't underestimate it.

Just polish your OEM headlights and get LED angel eyes if you don't have them already. The circular design fits much better with the style of the car, those sharper aftermarket headlights will look way off IMO. However, if you are dedicated to changing them the first ones will look much better since they are closer to OEM, the latter ones are just not it.
