Installed new headlights from strafe

I know a lot people don't like these headlights - but I love the way they look and have gotten nothing but compliments since I installed them this weekend. Although I fully respect your opinions, and understand if people don't like them.

Unfortunately it rained right after I had them installed but I was able to get some basic shots when they were off, I did not hook up the halo - I may never, I like how it looks when off but not sure about how I feel about it on.

I'll get some night shots shortly, my projector bulbs i ordered were blown so I'm not riding around at night till they come in. only thing extra I added to them is the top light I put in a 6led wedge, same as in my side markers.







crappy pics, i know, but i'll get some quality ones when rain goes away. Also, I didn't get them fully fit the way they will be when I get my bulbs, will do it over again on my next day off.

Yeah, I agree pictures don't do them justice. The smoked look makes it go really well with the DG I feel.

I'm going to take some night shots tonight of the DTRL, get some other shots when the d2s bulbs come in.

I'll let you know when I put the bulbs in, I installed the headlights but the projector headlights I ordered were blown so I ordered new ones. I'll take pics when installed.

I hate them, but at least they are shiny compared to most of the headlights in Gs on here.

I was afraid of the 'too-much-going-on' look, but honestly in person they don't seem cluttered to me. Been rainy all week so far in PA so getting some shots off has been difficult especially since my only camera is my iphone and the lighting has be perfect in order to get a shot, lol.

I'll get night shots up for those who are interested, though, just bare with me.
