JDM headlights??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...QQcmdZViewItem
Does anyone have these or know anything about them? I like the AE look, and the fact that the signal is also smoked. If anyone has them how do they fit any quality issues etc.thanks Finally got my car finished (it was a salvage) tring to to get the web hosting thing up so I can post pics

I wish someone would've modded those so that the sides aren't ribbed. I hate, hate, HATE that ribbing.

you know I hate aftermarket headlights, but I'd have to say that these are probably better than most...

why pay 150 when you can do that yourself for free. Basically all you have to do is open up your headlights and rub the chrome off. You don't even need to buy black paint.

Check it

I was about to say... JDM would be the Cefiro and those lights don't even fit my Infin without a new bumper.

Hey I'm thinking about doing it this weekend. I know there is a writeup (searched and read everything) but I will try to do a more detailed writeup with pictures. By the way, did you cook yours in the oven or used a heatgun? If you used the oven..what temp. should I cook it at?

The lights look pretty cool.. i wonder if they actually look like that in person... the pics make it this really stealth look... i might have to investigate on this... ;-)

To be honest, i think they look really good. But i would prefer the Projector Headlights, with dual Angel eyes. What do you guys think about that?
How would the black ones look on silver maxima? here are some more pics........ http://2kmaxima.onlineshowoff.com


THANKS
