Yeah I agree sorry to say the same thing but I really wanna see pics because my 93 has yellowish headlights and my HID kit doesnt really help that much with lighting so I would really love to see how these headlights end up looking.

On a side, note, what is it with people who feel they need to out mod everyone and everyone who doesn't mod the way they do is an idiot?

Sure you could take the projector from an R8, some uranium, some pixie dust, the flux capacitor and wire it together to make the blazingest projectors ever with absolutely perfect light projection into the perfect area and make your car the most perfect projection system of all time. That's fine.

I'm sure your lights are the brightest thing this side of the sun. I'm sure they have perfect alignment and display the perfect spectrum of light. That's fine. Nobody is talking about what you're doing in this thread. I'm sure you probably have dozens of threads dedicated to your perfect projectors. I'm not in a contest with you, we have different ideas about where we want to go and what we want to do, and you aren't the ultimate arbiter of what's good car fashion and what isn't.

Bottom line is that with zero work from me aside from paying my buddy a couple bucks to install them, I got lights that look very comparable to any modern lights and satisfy me more than I had ever expected.

So, post your pics of the R8 nuclear powered projectors that will shock and awe everyone, then shut up and get lost.

This sucks. I just spent like 10 minutes taking pictures from every angle with every flash setting. My wife kept shaking her head as we looked at pic after pic. The lens is so clear and so reflective that it seems to ruin most every shot. Even the shots with the CCFL's on seem kind of blurry or not right.

It stinks, but the pictures just don't do them justice.

Once my girl has her cougar status I'll post pics of the entire car. She was young and hot back in the early 90's, but she got with a bad man and the bad man fed her the wrong stuff and she ended up looking frumpy and prematurely old. But she found a new lover and the new lover reinvigorated her spirit. She's been in the gym working out, got a couple procedures done because that's what any good cougar should have, and she's getting close. She's got a couple more pounds to drop so she can get closer to the ground, but then she'll be ready to reintroduce herself as a proud sexy cougar.

.. after that long winded method of saying you don't have pics.. let's just say you're lucky your not in australia. because I have been waiting for pics and you still haven't posted! if you were here. I would kick you square in the taco. just saying

i'm intrigued though.. because my car i'm importing has these lights too and I hated them in pics so I bought a good condition set from japan to replace them with.. if these are as good as you say then i'm intrigued to say the least :-) i'll let you know in about 5 days when I get the car shall i? till then so these guys stop hounding you.. i'll put up a pic of my car with ccfl's on :-P

Those don't look bad at all. I prefer the look of the black ones, but those clear lens look good on your car.
