i think that's how it comes stock from hidplanet. they use ECE bosch single xenons. they have a more clear lens and more blue in the cutoff than the DOT boschs

Thats too bad. I wanted to compare your oem retrofit to mine. Yeah i agree the aftermarket ones are way easier to retrofit, but i dont like those round circles thats engraved in the side of the low beam opening. I'm trying to think of ways to shroud it up and make it look clean.

that's why didn't use the halo ring lights lol.I think they look pretty good on black on black tho, but maybe I'll paint them or put some leds on it in the future.
