Ok so heres the deal, im repainting my gold SE and i figured i might as well spruce up the exterior a bit while im at it. Im thinking of doing black headlights and bumper lights. Also im going to do some black rims of some sort.

Also i had a question of smoking my tails. My sister had this sort of plastic cover over her firebirds tails that was smoke colored. Now i know we dont have that for our cars but can the whole tail light be smoked? Not just the clear and amber parts, i mean the whole thing. Just spray it or do i need to do something particular to make the lights brighter for that?

 

yea i think they are pretty sweet. 200 bux is a bit steep, but then again my experience with headlights is minimal. how do you think it will look with a gold body? you have any other black exterior mods on there that it would go with??

 

i think they look cool but i hear light output isnt that great from them. ive never had them tho. 200 aint bad since you are getting the corners too. i dont think you are gonna find them for any cheaper than off of ebay.

 

they look ok. Not sure how they will look on a gold car

 

The light output BLOWS!! Lighting-wise, you'd be happier with stock headlights and hid kit. BUT if you like the look of them, its a good deal cuz the bumper lights are included for the price.

For the tails, use VHT NightShades. It works GREAT, just throw a coat or two of clear after the fact and maybe lightly sand with a 400,000 grit sandpaper! LoL You dont HAVE to brighten the lights, but you CAN!

Like the poster above me said, the light output is terrible. I would stay away unless you were going to do a retrofit on them.

 

I got em, light output does suck, picture your typical output LINE from regular headlights, then picture the actual LINE turning into a big W shaped flying bat looking output lol. Didn't bother me much since I drive in NYC, lots of street lighting as it is. The cosmetic factor is awesome though, I just upgraded the bulbs to HIDS to give it some functionality. The output is drastically better with HIDS, just need to be aimed higher and the W is still there. Definitely asking to be retro'ed tho..

 

ive got them but mine didn't come with the damn 50 dollar bumper lights i also bought, i got mine last year and with my r34 bodykit, they look badass, only problem is i got my bumper lights in and realized, hey the r34 bodykit has no place to put bumper lights so i wired the small bumper light with the 194 bulb in it and glued it in the bumper support so ill have turn signals!!! lol, but ya i would get them thay are badass and i think the light output is amazing if you adjust them right

 

I love the 1pc headlight. Good price, but i watch out for ebay. sometimes it may not what it seem like it.

 

don't put those on a gold car. Order the AE lights from ebay. It's like 110. they are much better choice. I'm going to order those for my gold max.

 

You can't go wrong with 1 piece headlights. I think they look better than the 2 peice stock look. Also since they're including the bumper smoked lights it will go good. About light output i'm not sure how it is b/cuz from the first day i got em i started on my retro-fit. My 2 cents

 

I figured with black headlights the output would be lower, im assuming there is some way of fixing this? If so how?

 

Anybody have a pic of them installed on their car?

 

 

I had them for a couple of months and then sold them. The one piece design looks great but I couldn't get used to the black housing with my color. As mentioned the output of the low beams is pretty damn bad, high beams are alright though.

Just an FYI, throw some extra sealant on those bumper lights if you get them. I had those also and one fogged up after like 3 weeks.

 

yeah their hot, but 200 bucks dont sound right for something u can do , if you take your time...also ebay sells cheap lights, i bought headlights one time to open them and blackhouse them , n they were so cheap the glue came off right away , and it was ****ty.....NOT RECOMMEDED..

 

paint your grille black to go with the look, or first do a photo shop of it and see.

 

with a full lip kit that car would look DAMN nice

and the black lights look good on that colour

 

Worth it if you HID it or retro it. Unless you really dont mind crappy output.

Deffinetly...The CF really pulls it all together.

Where the heck do you think the 17834576 people on the org have been getting them?

 

I just bought a pair... and their awesome. Although the light output does suck. I'm planning on doing a retrofit in the future. Id post pic's but my car isn't in its best shape atm

 

use that money and go retrofit route... THATS WHAT I WOULD DO..

 

RETROFIT is the only good thing for that light.. putting in HID gives you same horrible light output... only it will be with a brighter bulb..

 

Yeah, I know that, but you can still see better. Also, in theory more light means more reflection, more diffraction around corners, so its possible that the W isn't as defined...just theoretical.

Like I said, a retro is the best, but if you cant or don't want to, at least get HIDs.

 

I love mine but i also have a pnp kit that doent perform all that bad. I do plan to retro as soon as im done with all my turbo stuff.

 

Whats a pnp kit, also i searched for the retro mod but couldnt find anything. Anyone have any info on either of these.

 

i agree. just the inlay of the grill. not the frame

 

PNP= PLUG AND PLAY HID KIT. RETRO is to retrofit hid projector in to your housings .

 

i have the pnp kit also on mine, the out put is great if you adjust the housing with the screw in back and on one i had to put washers between the headlight screw and the mounting panel b/c it wouldn't adjust enout, i love these kind of headlights

 

youed be better off painting your headlights yourself. you would have way better results to. and while your at it put a HID kit in there.

 

i ordered them a month ago and i only recieved the headlights and not the corners. i paid the extra 35 dollars for nothing. just watch out for that.

 

They are nice.

 

No one on the org has seen this setup before.

 

i like them..think im gonna order them after getting my exhaust installed..and i would def recommend a pnp hid kit for better light output

 

i just ordered these lights with the bumper lights also like 2 days ago. hope i wont be disappointed by them.i just like r34 black housing look

 

thats the same set up i have and i got mine from the same place as you. i only bought these for the purpose of retroing them. i put tl bixenon in with zkw lenses and the output is a owesome. im so glad i did it. if you are planinig on rero be prepared, it takes lots of time and patience.

 

It is hot with TSX projectors. It is not when it's alone.

 

on ebay i saw the black housing headlights that are like the stock ones. They might turn out better, or just paint yours. good deal with the corners though

 

Here's what it would look like, definitely alot meaner looking:



Definitely +1 to the full kit, or atleast sideskirts.

 

Damn that looks hot with the black grille. Maybe i'll do this mod, but i'll have to play around with photoshop a bit more.

 

I vote Not - heres why

200 Bones + a quality kit to make it look good = a whole retro +/-...

Save the money for Projectors, you'll be happy
