Gauging Interest for GB: 09-11 USDM Projector Halo R8 Head Lights CCFL
 
I am trying to see if I can get a deal with this company to organize a Group Buy for these headlights to see if we can get them cheaper. I think its cheaper then trying a retrofit and they dont look that bad imo.

Let's get this started! Post if you would be interested in these or not. Thanks!

UPDATE: I heard back from the company already and we will be able to get a 10% discount on this. This will most likely be in the form of a Coupon that we can use on their website to make the individual shipping easier.

Let's get a list started so we can get that code. Lets start with 5 people.

am i correct in thinking this is single beam only? I do like having high beam capability, esp when upstate

Actually i believe they are seperated, the low beam is the projector and the second halo has a standard reflector bowl for a high beam.

Though I'd be interested, I'd like to hear some feedback/results regarding light output, cutoff, quality of the lights (e.g., proper sealing), etc. first....

Bump for some cool lights people. I emailed the company with the several questions, i should have a response on monday. Lets at least get some interest until then, it was very nice of them to offer us this discount for some unique lights that i haven't seen anyone else running.

haha yea i know they are on there but the only ones ive seen that are this exact model with the CCFL halo's and LED Halo's are at the lowest 340 plus 45 shipping.: 09-10 HONDA FIT BLK LED CCFL HALO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS - eBay (item 190492379161 end time Jan-25-11 14:57:32 PST)

If you are referring to this one: 09-10 HONDA FIT BLK R8 DRL LED HALO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHT - eBay (item 190492375691 end time Jan-25-11 14:45:32 PST)

Those are the LED Halo's and if you like those better, the company has those as well. I will contact them and see if they can match pricing.

I would probably be interested but for one I like the black better and 2, i am planning on test fitting for the company and if they're are issues I can send back and I dont want to put that burden on you.(I haven't seen anyone with these installed or have any reviews anywhere so I am being the Guinea pig.

A couple FITs in fitfreak.net already installed it, for example, gober (if I spelled his ID right?.

I think its goobers your referring to and i have seen his write up, those unfortunately were the jdm lights he bought. According to the newer lights realeased they are specific for usdm. I contacted the manufacturing company (NOT TURBO METAL) with some questions. Waiting to hear back.

Goobers 01-20-2011 02:48 AM

hehe... i've been watching this thread... I am curious as to if they would actually fit USDMs.

I do have two issues with my headlights as mentioned... So I *might* consider buying another pair, but only if they clear both issues and prices are low enough. $500 is WAY too high, $300 is still a bit high though. Actually, on top of that... I don't really like the way they laid out the "R8" LEDs. After paying $235 for mine, I'm not looking forward to buying another set.

Even so, good luck to those that are signing up for the group buy.
