It looks like the amber turn signal lamp section is different. The cheaper one looks like it might have an amber lens in it where the more expensive one looks like it uses an amber bulb.

The best way would be to call the seller and ask them.

 

The Spec D brand doesn't use amber lenses. It's the amber bulbs that reflect the color. Read up on the headlights before you decide to buy them.

Fyi, they're cheaper elsewhere too

 

The link's not working for me, but I got a set of Spec D Black Housing headlights without the projector for ~$175 shipped, and they were brand new. Bought them from Amazon.com. They look ok, but I would certainly prefer the factory HID headlights. The light projection on the Spec D's is pretty poor. They look pretty good, and they feel fairly solid, so other than light projection, I can't really complain.

Again though, Factory HID's > Spec D's

if your comfortable doing so, i would just put the money towards an angel eye kit and paint the housing yourself.. IMO it matches the car better and you get better light output. probably cheaper too.

winwin

 

Those housings are not worth the halos, i have projector style ones and i swapped out the halos and the projectors. Your factory hids are gonna be much better than those, especially since they're just halogens. You can do what Maxima Tyler said and buy an angel eyes kit and do it yourself, it'll come out much better (CCFls or SMD angel eyes are much brighter than the crappy halos those lights come with)

 

These... all of these things that he stated are FACT! Trust me. They may look enticing, but in the end, I wish I had spent the extra money on factory headlights.

I would listen to all of the above statements... although they look very nice, the halo's in them are garbage and wont last very long, and the projectors are trash as well, there is absolutely NO width to the light... you can barely see into the ditch with them. Your stock headlights are preferable over these, they just need a makeover which only takes 2-3 hours depending on your skill level.
