installed new headlights (black housing) and the black housing corners as well. i took the chance to replace my 9004 bulbs with new ones i bought from importkustomz. they have a slight blue tint to them. i put 1157 ambers in the corners.

they look so much better. but after driving at night, the length of the headlights are too short. the brightness seems to be equal or maybe better. can this be fixed? perhaps with re-aiming the headlights? pls direct me.

sorry for the pics being crappy. my hands were grimey and also i was late for class. started install at 6 and finished at 730 and it got pretty dark. had to break out the flashlights to finish.

FINAL PRODUCT

 

Simply incredible. Where did you get the lights from? I think my sig would look better.

 

nice it really cleans up the front end.

 

the lights i got from ebay. CE sells the same **** for much more $, plus they are sold out on the black housing corners which they didnt tell me until i called 1 week later to ask them where the hell my lights were.

corners from makotoautotrends on ebay (75 shipped)
headlights from motorsporthouse on ebay (165 shipped)

motorsporthouse game me some trouble. didnt ship or anything, kind of just lost my order. after a wk i emailed him and sorted it out. the quality is the same as CE ones, only CE rips you off with horrible service.

 

that looks really nice.
i think i have to do my lights alco. water is getting to my corners

 

Looks good man. I'm still waiting to get me black corners. Money is going into 00vi swap and exhaust at this time tho. Nice call on the lights tho.

 

yeh they are real nice......good job

 

i got these. TERRIBLE light output. as you can see, scatters it all over the place !

 

looks really good... i plan on doin that swap also

 

they look so much better. but after driving at night, the length of the headlights are too short. the brightness seems to be equal or maybe better. can this be fixed? perhaps with re-aiming the headlights? pls direct me.

 

If you didn't aim them after the install, you will more than likely need to. That should fix you up. I had to do the same thing.

 

looked in how tos, but couldnt find anything

someone tell me how to do the reaiming or direct me pls.

Looks great...I did that a couple months ago and was very pleased with the results too.

 

You just need to turn the screws on the back of the headlight. You can see them go up or down and left or right. Car should be 25 feet away from a wall on flat surface.

 

Yea and I told everyone from the get go that they would suck *****. No shield and no multi parabolic reflector is a disaster. The only thing these are good for is projectors.

 

wait are they the same bulbs too?? crazy if they are cause they look so much whiter in the new ones...looks nice man

 

word, the reflector sux donkey *****

 

What about putting the glass into the stock housing? Anybody tried that?

 

Looks much better.

 

They look great man, especially those bumper lights!

 

Dang, man that looks tite. nice job.

 

If these suck then which light housing would you recommend for us 95-96 guys?? Because I hate my housings and was about to buy them , but after hearing how bad the output is I really don't want them.

 

very nice change

 

i m thinking stock oem 97-99 ones.

 

looks great... I'm thinkin of gettin those AEs but right now I just don't have the money to do so... or have the patience to make them

 

I recently installed these on my car. I think there's a conciderable difference in light output compared to OEM. They also give the front end a more aggressive look.

 

Some say nice light output some say bad output?? I think I'll just buy them anyway, screw it!

 

I still dont understand why no one has tried to swap the glass and oem plastic. Same housings but different reflectors on the inside....some one should try to use the glass lens in the oem housing so to keep the better reflector...you can do the AE mod while you change lens to. I would try but I dont have time and my money is going into my 00vi swap at this time.

 

I know this might sound stupid but what is the AE mod?

 

See his lights how the sides inside are black? Yeah thats AE mod. You can do it yourself for the cost of heatproof paint or spend the $200 for the CE lights. Even tho the CE lights do have the glass lens...

 

Thanks.,.,.,

 

Sure. The cool thing about doing the AE mod yourself is that you can use any color paint you want inside. So you could try to match your car color or something. I usually see black but doing another color might look good too.

 

the CE ones are the same shiz as ebay
i cant be 100% sure but im freaking 98% sure

they just charge a shizload more than others,
and i suggest you do the corners, bc they look very sexy now
i think i might go with diamond bumper lights to complete the look?

 

The ce ones are glass the ebay ones are plastic. I emailed the ebay guys and they all told me theirs were plastic, so that probably justifies the price difference.

 

Yeah the ones on ebay are the same except for the glass/plastic. So I guess that makes them different. I'm hoping to do a mod with the corners so I'm going to buy the black housing corners after I try my mod.

:edit: haha babymac beat me too it...

 

You seem to be one step behind me today. Gotta catch up

 

I always seem to be one step behind when you're in the same thread haha.

 

I bought mine off ebay and they are glass. Maybe there are two versions???

 

Can you post the link so we can see which ones to buy??
