I thought about buying these but the quality of light output doesn't look that promising and no matching inners.

I want to SCREAM as I specifically started a thread on these headlights and put pics of members cars with them in there.

When I get to my bookmarks, I will merge this thread with that one.

I know what you mean...I tried posting the link at first when these threads popped up but in all reality, people don't care. Some of them seem like they just want answers for themselves and not care how.

I've even heard some people tell me that they can't tell the difference when the brake light is lit...which is pretty scary.

it's a company called "Aztec" making them.

there stuff seems really high quality but for both inner/outer LED, it's close to a 1k. I think they also make the infamous eBay quasi-Q45+CCFL headlights (for HID also).

to answer your question, it is illegal to have those on a gs. just look in that standard issue leather bound bible "Things that are illegal to install on a classy luxury sedan" that came with the car when you first bought it. its right there on page 765 subsection 3 line 6. duh.
