also - you heard it here first - i earlier commented on how these would look great but just don't hook up the angel eye rings...

well - i changed my mind - hook them up - BUT HOOK THEM UP TO YOUR TURN SIGNALS!!!

Talk about something that looks WAY custom...
God Damn!
I finally got in touch with the seller and they don't have the rubber trim. Seller says that installed they look better then the others due to the lack of the rubber trim. Also swears that no water will get into the engine bay.

Of course they've already shipped, so I'll have to look at them and decide what to do when I see them.

So 4 weeks have gone by and I email them to see what's going on. Seems the light is out of stock and he offers to refund my money. I guess they hadn't shipped

I'll look at the other ones, but the initial purchase was an impulse buy.

Well sorry to disappoint those who've contacted me about these.

1st seller with the 'cheaper' units refunded my money in full and will let me know when the units become available.

2nd seller has been emailed 3 times about the units and hasn't responded. He does have the blacked out version not the silver version listed on ebay for $349.

I so agree with you there. I grew up from being a honda-ricer-boi to a GS300-pimp-daddy. I just can't bring myself to do this. Heck I thought Halo's were tacky for my Accord IMHO. Oh well, to each his own.

Yeah, I don't do ANY retrofit by requests anymore lol. Takes up too much freakin time. Any sets you see me sell from now on will be the retired headlights from my car. I usually change out my headlight styling every half year or so

I like the Angel Eyes on a GS. They look way better on a GS then on a BMW especially with the way our headlights are made.
