I think you should refer to this thread

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/angel-eyes-tls-632741/

All the pics in that thread make it look really nice.

But to answer your question, are they a bit BMW-ish? Perhaps...but that hasn't stopped others from doing them! I say, if you like the way it looks, go for it!

Before you make a $150 mistake, just to clarify. I hope you know that what you are looking at IS NOT the whole headlight assembly.

The $150 that it costs to buy that is just for the small LED rings that go around your current 07-08 headlights. If you are thinking that you are getting 2 HEADLIGHTS for $150 you are completely wrong.

2 Headlights with Angel/Halo rings run for $700+.

Once again, you are only looking at the RINGs for $150. Not the whole headlight assembly.

Now these are for the angel eyes + a pair of headlight assembly. It also has cleared turn signal diffuser. Stock is AMBER

These are for the Angel / Halo eye rings - http://www.uniquestyleracing.com/20actlremouh.html

I had to replace the driver side assembly when I bought my TL. All the new or used oem headlights were $350+ just for 1 side. I bought the USR cleared w/o halos headlights (Depo) for $490 for both. So far no complaints, they look better then stock, cost almost 1/2 as much, they mounted up perfect, and overall quality is close to oem.

How long do you have it for? And how they are holding?

I m looking for replacement. My right side headlight is badly scratched and the driver side have some nasty deterioration and faded look. I just wish acura would sell the lenses separately not the whole headlight assembly. I'm thinking to buy the cleared w/o halos headlights but I'm still on the fence.
