thought someone used the projectors and made a insert on the base of the bulb to move the light output point to match the projector's input angle so it cuts off clean?

post found...

I like the chrome headlights and the smoked out tails. The others...not my cup of tea, but that shouldn't stop anyone from going with it.

I have considered both the Smoked LED lights and the Dual Halo projectors.

My brother picked up the smoked Led tails and I love how they look on black. I was afraid at 1st but once they were mounted they look reall really good. Hopefully I'll have pics up this week or coming weekend once we get the coilovers and gettins on her..

Mike I would just leave the 01 tails on your GS..I think those tails are clean sometimes i think they look cleaner then my JP's..Plus your GS is very clean and unique with the BBS's on

I wouldn't do it. But then again it's about what you like on your car. Shouldn't matter what other people think.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Some of it is curiousity I guess, and maybe just buy the sets, take pics, share and sell the lights.

We have quite a few black GSs in Atlanta. Maybe I shoulda stuck to PDW

No Inners currently available James, but I talked to a Rep I met at SEMA and told him Directly that these tails would sell a lot more if they had matching inners. I prefer the red lens version . Looks the closest to the original JP tails which is still the cleanest look IMHO.

The other non-snowflake LEDs have inners available that match up ok, but the snowflake outers with "square" LED inners doesn't look right to me.

The rep I talked to works in Business Development, so hopefully I am getting the word to the right person to make the inners a reality.

Hmmm maybe I should start a poll to see who would be interested in the snowflake outers if the matching inners were offered?

Wow, you signed up for CL too?

Back to the topic, the clear tail is a big no no!!!
I have the second set of Wise LED tails and that;s the most I can tolerate ( quality wise , too poor to afford JP )

Those are probably the nicest ones. They're the closest to the stock look and they've got LEDs in them. What more can you ask for. Plus, they also sell them in white if you're going for an OEM look.

yea i agree with qnsgs. i like the aftermarket tails with the clear bottom as well.

who on CL has mentioned that the output for the headlight projectors are bad? i've been searching and haven't found anything about them. there were speculations based on a poor photograph though....
