I think I'll pass.
Give me real H4's that fit right...I'd pay whatever was asked for that. Why replace garbage with more garbage?

Been a while since ive been on here. I came on looking to replace a cracked 4th gen headlight and came across this. I definetly want to give it a try. Since im in NY its a rarity if your ever on a street thats way too dark.
My question is with the "HID" that someone took pics of against the garage door. Was that with a Kit or was it just "HID" bulbs? I want to get this with his setup so just want to make sure before i drop 200+ bucks.
If it was a kit and you have the link to purchase please post. thanks.

Installed my pair. Once i find a digi camera ill upload some pics. I happen to like the light output. Much better then before. I dont think mine fit all that great but ill go at it in alittle and try to get it to fit better. The hardest part is getting the corner part to line up right when im putting the light back on.

I just installed mine with 6000k hid's. I didn't have any problems with fitment. Everything fit perfect. But i'm not really sure I like the black on green yet. Maybe if I get some smoked bumper lights it would look better but it looks kinda dumb with clear bumper lights.

Well I just got a chance to see them in the dark. The beam pattern really does suck. The hid's definately helped filling in the space in between the hot spots though. I also thought the glare would be pretty crappy and it's not bad at all. But if it had normal halogen bulbs in it, i'd rip them right off my car. Eventually when I get the cash i'll do a projector retro but for now the hid's will work.
