Default Some other pics of Projector headlights.

Yes! I got'em as well. just got them today and installed them today...

Fitting was O.K. except that right side had little trouble but no biggie..lol

wiring for halos took me long time cuz i though white wires were ground..-_-;;;

but still it took me about 20 min to get the bumper off and about 30 min to

take head lights off and wiring took me 20 min. and putting bumper back on took me 10 min.

total 1 hour 20 min.... I guess not bad for real newbie for this forum and cars...lol

My small reviews...

Pros: It gave my FM tC a mean look.!! (I don't have any daytime pic yet but I might take some tomorrow.) Pretty Easy to install even for a noob. like me. Pretty good finish. Good water proof'ing ( I poured whole bucket of water on headlight area..
and no harms...lol;;; It rains alot sometimes in Austin..-0- so for some test..LOL)

Cons: Right side doesn't fit well like left one but w/ some force it fits OK. Halo wiring is NOT plug and play(it's pretty easy tho... remember white is NOT ground like it is on tC) Hard to adjust the bulb(after you install them there isn't much room to put your hands in to do something.. I got many cuts trying the adjust level.)

I really like it.... I used to have 6000K HIDs with stock housing but now I don't think I will be installing HIDs for a while... I'm running low on my monthly budget...-_T.
And I think just halogens look pretty good. If you look closely it's yellowish halogens but if you look from away it kinda gives you the lens color which I liked.


here are some pics...




Turn signal on... it turns on like bmws








Close Up cutoff. it's photoshop'ed for better visibility. Only contrast change tho.


Whole cutoff. I've done my best to try to level them... and I think it can be leveled
more even... but after installing the headlights... it's kinda hard to adjust the bolts so... that's good enough for me...lol

That's nice serein.
Glad that you had pix with the signals on. There were a few request about that on one other tread and nobody there acknowledged that important detail about those projector housing. I really don't like that location for the turn signals. Everything else looks great. Even the cutoffs.

Yes I thought so too they should've kept the OEM style turn lights not mimic'ing
BMWs.. but they still looks pretty good to me so I'm totally satisfied..lol

Well, from an oncoming driver point of view, I think the turn signals will be hard to see with the headlights on. Headlight glare possibly shielding the turn signal flashing.
That's why I dont like signal location.

i like them, it looks pretty cool

but i'd like it better if the whole eyelid just stayed on like parking light (the whole strip) and the turn signal should leds and be where the stock one is.

angel eyes looks great though

not bad... but sorry to break it to you, you adjusted the projectors incorrectly. The cut off should be all angled getting higher to the right (not symmetrical like you have it). I'd understand if you don't wanna readjust it though

somebody is going to end up clipping you head on because your shoddy PROJECTED cutoff line blinded them and they drifted across the double yellow, and when your insurance adjuster finds out it was because you literally blinded the other driver out of neglect, the accident will be your fault.

Fix the cutoff or return the headlights for being defective. If I was in the area I'd either fix it myself (if those are even fixable...) or shoepolish your windows while you sleep warning other drivers of the oncoming hazard.



Oh, and by the way the company says they offer a 6 month warranty on the workmanship of the headlights, so send them back.

EDIT: oh and if you could since you take such pretty pictures, get a picture of the cutoff against a wall from MORE than 5 feet away? more like 25-30ft away at the least? I guarantee that cutoff suddenly disappears everywhere but the center. Or one better, face your car towards another car from more than 25ft away and take a picture of the cutoff then.
