ehh, to be honest, i cant say its ricey, but i think it looks kinda....whats the word.....Tacky.....i mean, it would be awesome to somehow get bulbs like that in the roadlamps...but seperate aftermarket housings like that look kinda tacky i think, especially on a nice car like a Black CL-S!

I'm uncertain how we're supposed to tell if it looks ricey... I don't see any lights on?
edit - oohhhhh now isee them.

If you take the bulbs out of your stock roadlamp housing and use those fogs INSTEAD, then no it's not ricey. if you use those AND the stock roadlamps, then it would be a bit much.

Dude, I think they would look fine if you didn't have the road lamps. ALso, $150 a month in Queens, sounds like a bargain.

Am I the only one in favor? I think it's ok as long as you take out the front license plate.

you know if you did a lower grill and then put them behind it they would be less noticed plus less likely to get jacked..

Maybe I should just take out the factory road lamps and use that space for the PIAA'S. Something tells me that would look to getto? Am I the only one that hates the fake fogs the CL comes with??

I say take out the factory road lamps and mesh that hole in. Then you can put the aftermarket on the sides (not in the OEM holes though). It'll be better for you visibly and performance wise whenever you decide to put the CAI in.
