Dame...they look nice but i dont like the stripes...i guess they are for the black housing ridigidity....but do you guys think it is a good price???

I really cannot get my headlights focused correctly...will give it another shot and see if it works...after 200kmiles they seam to appear a bit yellowish have cleaned them once will give another shot and see how they look....

Spending over $300...seams a bit itchy right now....but looking at the intrest from DEPO some can send them links for a projector lights that 97BlackAckCL made ...may be they will like the idea and come out with a projector version????what say...97BlackAckCL?????

Later

i like them! they aren't bad at all. i even like the strips.

also IMHO $300 is a good deal on headlights. Maybe this guy would be willing ot make some JDM legend head lights. those run up to $500 in not perfect condition sometimes.

no, I'd really rather they didn't make projector lights, especially if they're 9006, that'd really be lame

thats' great, those headlights are in the states. but if you were smart and used paypal you'd have been fine. I buy stuff from japan/hongkong/taiwan off ebay all the time.

/\ tahts what i was thinking.

i wanna see a set installed.

my money is that they are gonna look sick, and everyone and their mother is gonna want one. lol. jk

i would like a set thou. i personally like the corners.

i think we can mod it to put 3 rows of nice led's and it would be even sicker, maybe with a projector for the main light bi-xenon, of course, and set up the old high beam as a HID fog light.

That's the way I would like it too, but then it'd just be a complete rip off of my lights
