I like the overall design, but I'd definitely like to see how they look in an 8thGen, to see if the chrome works or not...I'm not a fan of chrome-type trim usually.

I know the picture on the listing shows an 8thGen, but they intelligently tinted the heck out of the headlights so we can't see how it looks. Great job, seller/marketer! .

At least it doesn't have those lovely 3-4 circular-stack LEDs running up the insides (as are the case with many of the Ebay headlights for our cars ).

Price is about the same as other ebayer selling similar stuffs. You can get the HID Kit in about $55 shipped, then I saw some people selling projector headlight in about $160 shipped, pretty much same price. One good thing about buying it as a bundle may be you can have the seller to make sure the H1 HID bulb can be put into the headlight correctly before you buy, since there are some difficulties to put those in for some of the H1 aftermarket headlight.

Look pretty good, but yeah, personally I would prefer black over chrome too.

Those really aren't too bad looking. I'd like to see the cut-off. Why don't you be our tester. I wonder if they make them for a sedan?

I just finished retrofitting TSX Projectors into the black version of that housing. The stock projectors were not too good. I'm not sure how they'd look with HIDs in them.

if I recall correctly, my friend bought a set from the same company for his eclipse. He wasn't too impressed with them. I would say probably just comparable to us doing HID bulbs into our stock housing

I just thought they look better than the LED pieces of ****. Plus if I were to mod a set i would do it to some aftermarkets rather than my stocks. Stocks are waaay more expensive to replace if something goes wrong. I would say get these, paint the inside whatever color and swap projectors with something better.

Hears something similar without the HID kit. I already got a set so no reason to get another.

Yeah, after I retro my aftermarket light, I think it probably not a bad idea to retro those. Price definately a huge plus over the OEM, easier to work with, and they seems ok if you seal them properly. It even come with a crappy projector, which you can move it from low beam to high beam, and get a quad setup.
