I just switched from a PnP kit to a Retro. And if you think those are cutoff's you havnt seen anything. Dont get me wrong I liked my PnP kit, but now that I have the projectors, its unreal how much more light is spread on the road. Looks good though, enjoy.

Just dont aim them too high or you'll blind the $hit out of everyone

I had to stick with what I could afford @ the moment. I want to buy an oem set of headlights, clear them, and do a retro myself. but as I said, stick with what I can afford...

Thanks for the feedback!

it was pretty funny...but he gave me a warning, and told me to change them..never did...haven't had too much grief since then..no one's flashed me and cops haven't pulled me...maybe he was just having a bad day.

Thanks.

Seeing the TL bi-xenon projectors on ebay that Striker_1818 pointed out on another thread has gotten me a little antsy.

I want to do that now. I just need to find some angel eyes for the sedan w/o the 3 led's...

The cutoff line on 8kvtec's car = teh sex

The hardest thing about retrofitting is opening up the headlight...
the rest is a piece of cake
