the anzos look okay there... and thats probably because they have clear sidemarkers and clear/chrome turn signal bulbs. either way, the 08's look better. more money went into r&d'ing the 08's meaning better quality and reliability. the cutoff is awesome on the 08's. invest in those.

I love the look of the Anzos, the halos, etc. The 08's I love the cutoff but not the nipple bulge that sticks out.

^I will. But what is the deal with HID? I know the 08 projector house H11 bulbs. So do I get a kit with a 9006 harness and H11 bulbs?

The anzos look ok, but I the 08 look so much better IMO. Especially with HIDs.

While it might not be 100% perfect, it’s pretty damn good for a halogen projector. There have been numerous threads and numerous people that have put HIDs into the projectors and experienced no problems; I am actually going to do this after I get my next paycheck. But keep in mind that the bulb sizes are different than stock, the low beams are H7 and the high beams are H1. I purchased these headlights because I like the look, output, and functionality of them. I had the Kaixen 8500K HIDs in my stock OEM headlights and switched to these, but keep in mind it will take a couple days to adjust from HIDs back to halogen bulbs, once you do you will notice more output (at least I do, this is MY opinion).


Here are pictures of my demon eyes illuminated and the cutoff of the halogen projectors with the stock bulbs that Anzo provides with the headlights




Cutoff Pictures: (nice and low on the left so it won't blind oncoming traffic and slightly higher on the right to illuminate road signs.

I like the look and style of the anzos but might be going to 08 projectors soon. I get a discount on them, so I might as well take advantage of that.

wow the cutoff is all over the place. headlights are pretty nice though and so are the halos. do you find these on ebay or a different site?

Happy with them but the cutoff could be better. There is a thread on here titled: Anzo headlights/projectors Dissected....where people have modified their Anzos with new projectors, eyelids, clear corners, etc.

the 08 stockers get a huge thumbs down from me in terms of styling but you cant beat factory quality, if oly they didnt look like they came straight from ebay
now the anzo ones would almost be perfect if they didnt ruin the eyebrow.

perfect projector headlight IMO is a retro of the pre-08 headlights.
