My thought exactly, it's gonna downgrade their name in the future. Pretty soon everyone will have cheap quality/cheap price JP stuff where to the point it's over played...I guess they gotta do what they have to, to survive in this tough economy...or they might go out of business if they same product they are selling can be found cheaper on eBay...

they aren't but apparently they are upgradable....or if your creative like me you can fabricate something to hold the hid bulb in! no1 yet claiming fame to having it yet maybe they are embarrassed or don't want others to copy them. who knows

1st in line....hahaha javier and i are working on something in private! hehe plus i got a few ideas up my own sleeves

it seems to be a cheaper route then buying genuine q45 projectors. just hope the light output is the same and would prefer to do them both in HIDS but im sure i could adapt them to be! plus would look neat to match the inners with the outers i think as MOST of us seem to love the look of the q45's. plus i got another idea for these if i get them

These lights have been around for a while now, but the smaller versions came out later.

Almost 2 years ago, I showed these lights to Clifford at mobileHID.com and his upgrade kit plugs right in.

I have these lights and the OEM Q45 version in my possession.

I should probably take them both apart to identify any differences between the two, aside from the OEM version already being an HID.

yes please please do this....and as lexusondubs says a light output difference would be great. would give jarvis and i the info we need to decide if we wanna get them. u wanting to sell these lights and your OEM q45's? i'll probably take them both (u got inner and outer ones on the generic version?)

do u have a link for that eliteauto? i tried goggling them but to no avail

maybe so but the matching set of inners/outters would look nice. tsx would be OK but the bmw ones (i forgot which we've talked about them on here before) would be nice also

ok checked out there website
http://eliteautostyle.com/products/lighting.htm

doesnt seem like they carry the inners though

just the outters
