TSX Newheadlight!

It looks like there's a new aftermarket headlight for current TSX. Angle light with led running lights may be a little too much, but they don't look too bad.

Does anyone have any picture with these installed?

Those are actually VERY nice...and make it look like they intended to have led running lights.

I'm with you on this, looks cheap. LEDs are placed too far apart and aren't the high quality ones you see on, say, an Audi.

Last time I checked we own Acuras, not BMWs...

Well, in theory, I picture this looking like I cheap projector lense like for an accord or something. But if you really look at it subjectively it's actually pretty nice looking.

I agree, it actually LOOKS really nice. As far as I can tell, everybody who says it looks cheap is basing this on the assumption that it IS cheap. Has anybody actually seen/had first hand experience with these. Also, f this notion that just because BMW invented the halo, nobody else can incorporate the same design on their non BMW. It's stupid, and makes no sense.

They are terrible, the Halos are barely visible, the LEDs are pathetic and dim, and the cutoff on the projectors is horrid. The only way these would be worth using would be if you replaced the projectors and lightin units... But then what's the point? I'll post pics later of em if u guys want, the guys on 8thaccor d bought a set and posted em

Well, you bring up some good weak points. I wouldn't spend $500 for some sub par product. I agree with you.
