Re: buying new headlights opinios needed

when u say crisper and cleaner are u talking about the bulb itself or the light output of the amber bulb. is that link the correct size we need for our headlights?

Yea the bulb itself reflects a more trick color in the chrome housing the light output is just like a standard amber bulb.
I guess its all a mater of opinion what you like but I think they look classy.
and yes the link provided is correct bulb type for front turn.

Re: buying new headlights opinios needed

well technically you could, idk tho, i wouldnt wanna open brand new lights. i always end up damaging it with either the glue getting on it or scratches. ya i use the sealer stuff outside but i also have scratches on inside, and they werent coming out at all, different plastic surface without coating. and now the hazing which is also inside. i got these off ebay and they were so dirty i had to open it just to blow out all the soil and leaves haha. mustve had em sitting outside for a few months open/

Re: buying new headlights opinios needed

hmm well to me, the black housing is too "pale" of a black meaning not very dark, its more of a flat black which for me when you have jet black gloss rims and a tezza grill, its gonna look like the headlights got faded. gunmetal would just be a different color, im not sure if its a paint or actually a chrome look to it. ive seen some tdm ones where they have a kind of smoked silvery chrome look. all clear is also nice, just depends on the car. pics of your ride?

Well I can tell you that they are at least as good as stock the pattern is pretty even I guess the light output all depends on the bulbs that you use and so on.
but to be honest these lights are very nice and I am very happy with them.
