Default Why do smart people do stupid things?..

Now, without wanting to blow my own trumpet... I have an IQ of 131, i also have a degree in physics...

So why is it that when installing HIDs on the Daytona, after checking not once, not twice, but three times, I manage to drill the hole in the headlamp covers on the right when it should be on the left?
