There's a guy with an OB that got them for temporary purposes. I opted for the OEM looking one. The LED on the side, I just couldn't say yes too. A bit rice on that portion. Perhaps if it was done a bit better, then different story.

How is it rice? Road cars had LED side markers before race cars did.. Anywho I think they look decent, still not an angel eye fan, but that can be modified as well as the projector which I'm sure isn't the best. You can make I nice set of headlamps for cheap with these.

I have the black ones. They look really nice. I'll take some night time pictures for the cutoff on the projectors. The cutoff is a little soft and the spread isn't exactly even, but they still put a lot of light on the road without glare. The Halo's are dim, definitely not bright. The LED strip on the side is really good. I'm surprised someone actually thinks it's Ricer when the coupe comes with a strip stock...

Here is drivers side only.



Stock on the passenger side and the ebay's on the drivers side. As you can see the stock light has more glare.



Daytime front (Sorry the car is dirty)

On these lights they are not fogs. They are high beam only H1's. So, they suck.

Here are the low beams with some cheap off brand 6000K bulbs. I have some Phillips 85122+'s in my FX projectors that I'm going to throw in tomorrow. I didn't think the bulbs would make to much of a difference, but I just read a few threads on HID Planet that prove the off branders suck.

The pictures looked fine on my camera, but once I imported them into my computer I noticed they were to dark, so I kicked up the exposure to 3.0

What street car uses LED's as a side marker?? Or are you talking about LED DRL's?? As an owner of a car with OEM LED drl's...i really hate seeing "wannabe" cars with them all over the road. I think i saw a mini-van the other day with two white LED strips on the bottom bumper.



Not a fan of the headlights in my opinion. Just way too "spaceship" in my opinion. A good clean set of OEM headlights with a subtle touch like painted bezels or a clean projector retrofit is much more attractive than Chinese Ebay headlights.

The pictures don't really show if the HID color remains the same as stock. I like the look of these headlights and would like to replace my OEM ones that have fog all over them and I cannot seem to get it off for more than a month using all the different products out there.

They have OEM replacement ones that looks just like the OEM's. I opted for those since the black/white theme wasn't what I'd want for my car and the chrome bezel one has too much chrome IMO. At least from the pics.

I've seen the OEM versions and I like the other style better, a lot has to do with the fact that there are a good amount of G's where I live and I want to make my car stand out but do not have the time or equipment to do a retrograde fit.

I like em too, just the ones with the black housings though. I did the whole black and white theme before and really don't wanna go into it again. If you end up getting the chromed version of the project style one I'd like to see how it looks on the car.

I think it's awesome these cars are getting more and more aftermarket products. This would be a great option for someone not wanting to spent $600 on OEM headlights.

I like how they look on that car. I am going to get a set in the spring and retro a better projector and maybe just leave the halo disconnected. I think they look OK in the day time but not so much when lit up at night. I agree the the LED strip is a little wannabe BUT it does make a body style that is aging very well more up to date.
