i don't care for the aftermarket headlights look - just a little too showy for me

I have a set that came out just before that design did. The fitment problems are mostly the top two mounts that don't line up. The top one near the front is only off by a few mm (holds the top of the bumper and grille cover). But the top one near the back is off by much, much more. In the end, my bumper is drooping slightly without the top part being attached.

The design the OP put supposedly fits better, but I haven't seen any confirmation of it.

Nothing at all like that.

If you like them, get them, personally I have to agree with BlueBoogers.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting but still not quite HID projector quality. I doubt it would be too hard to tear them down and retrofit it or even quad it if you really wanted to get some damn good lighting output. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the look. The Halo's and the led strip would have to go.

i have a set, haven't put them on yet since car is in storage.

I have to agree that they are a bit riced out with both the led and the halos, but the question is can it look good? In my opinion, it looks great on K's black fit. Thing is I really cannot imagine how they'd look on my white fit, which the alanchan also has.

hey guys, thanks for your great comments
I see a couple of local fans got these lights
do you mind tell me where you buy them from? was it through ebay?
or a local supplier
I like to get it install in my car
if someone knows how to install (I mean the electrical side)
I can do the bumper removal and all the work but not wiring
well, I have HID installed now
please contact me
alan_c888@shaw.ca

Wiring appears to be set up for you. Just plug in the oem harness.

thanks but I paid someone to install HID for me already
is HID consider OEM?
my understanding is OEM is stock wiring
can I use my HID setup in these lights?

That would depend on the HID kit you have so I can't really answer that question 100%. I would have to guess not without modification though.

k20a298ek, Care to chime in on this one?

hey blackvitzrs

I think the lights should look good in our white color FIT...
the black housing will make it stands out even more in the white body.
by reading your post, you haven't install the lights yet.
do you want to do it together if I buy the set?

I am not sure how to handle the wiring because I had HID installed.
