^^^ Yes i'm sticking with stock ones, i'll try and buff them and if it's a fail i'll just order new ones

nowwww on to a bigger decision on keeping the 1uz with a tranny swap or swap a 2jz and go turbo..or maybe turbo 1uz

but i will start a new thread to get the thread title attention for good feedback lol

You want halos....this is the way to go. I think you gotta send them in and they'll do the job for you. It looks great though imo.

Sadly this whole "halo light" craze has made them look stupid even on BMWs. The audi light thing is next, and fortunately the audi look is very hard to duplicate, even though seemingly now even manufacturers are doing it- aston martin, ferrari, and so on.

Ive had them on my last SC they are horrible lights up the trees because you cant adjust em, and the halos are weak, and they condensate..bad. I just took the lens off of those and put em on the stockers also did the halo from a computer fan because its a solid reliable led beam. The last pic is from another member on here that also did it.

SC51- Hows the light output with the new lens put on? Any pictures? Curious to see the cutoff, and if it would be best to do a retrofit while they are apart.

I think its funny how the same company makes them for other cars and sells them for 1/4 the price. they are garbage quality.

I think these egay headlights look ricey too. I almost bought some, but after hearing how much you guys said they suck, well, I'm definitely not buying them now lol. Although, I do need new headlights though lol. I might just replace the covers on the front of the stock ones for more clarity.

^^^ +1
That's a good point i'm thinking of doing the same thing. Does anyone have pics of the aftermarket lights disassembled??? Is it the same process of taking apart the stock headlights ???

Don't have pics unfortunately traded lights in with the old car, but output was deff crisper, retro would be the way to go tho.-swapping the lens's required minor trimming of housing, pretty easy just use the rite sealant thats not moisture prone and clamp the lens with 3 big zipties each(the temp handcuff size ones) , let sit over night and your good to go.

Whoa... stop the presses,
you can get these lights @ luxurymods for a way better (cheaper) price. If all your planning to do is use them for the lenses, whats the sense of paying so much? Ive seen lights like these in person, and i'm not impressed,they point upward and cant be adjusted. For a quality look, retrofit the lenses on the OEM housing.


But hey that's just IMO
