I like how it's in the in car entertainment & interior section. But super nice projectors! My sister has a TSX and one day, she might be missing her projectors ;p

yea 4300k is super white! no need for 6k or 8k here. its off of one of the KIA's that have projectors? Not too sure which model tho? Its just the front lense of the projectors, nothing else.

yup, just about. It still bows out on the right side a TAD. im still messing with some spacing on the bulbs to get rid of that, which i got rid of most of it. Hopefully these newer KIA clear lense will help out also.

no, now after you mess around with the spacing and whatnot, then they begin to be different. But very hard to tell. Other than that no their the same. NOW they do have projectors for RHD and LHD. On those the slopes are going the other way around.
