New headlights!

Here's a few pics. I am very happy with these lights, the output everybody is talking about is there, but it still puts out a nice BRIGHT pattern just not as percise as stock. This was a huge upgrade from my 95 stock headlights. Anyway here are some pics.

The lights look good, I'm now going to need to do that for my ride. One last question, were the bumber lights clears, euro clears, or diamond clears, or are these all the same?
THANKS!

haha babymac

after so many questions and threads you finally got em! haha congrats. they do look 3x better than the oem, but the output is definitely scattered, but it is brighter. just get the new corners as well. 60-70 dollars is worth it to complete the look

I'll post some pics later, the aem is on the way, but I have the perfect spot for it. Thats a whole other thread....... Ok here is one pic.


I really have to clean up the edges around where i cut still ,but I definitely think it makes a difference. This would be perfect for you se guys, when at the track just take out the fog and there you go.

Looks great babymac. Glad to see you went with them. Corners will def complete that look. I would buy them now but 00vi and exhaust are taking all the money haha.

BTW, I think you should open that other fog. Maybe mesh or something. Having only one fog open looks pretty weird and pulls away from the front end appearance IMO.

I got a ts ecu coming too, but no raised rev limiter. I emailed ts and they said They might be able to do it for me, so Ill see what I can get done. I didn't buy the b-pipe, but will be this week. And the 00vi's gonna have to wait for a little.

I totally agree, open up the other fog spot to match the front and then put some mesh behind it. That would look much better.
Lights look good. The black/clear corners are a must now.

It doesn't really bother me and I know they sell kits for bimmers with that opening standard. Its not all about looks.

I do totally agree about the corners, which I will be buying this week.

didn't know they actually started selling nice headlights like this. I've not been buying cosmetics from ebay for a long time now. Need to get back in the game again. Nice job!

Looks very good with the color of your car. Follow through with the clearance lights and it'll look even better.
