That's what I thought but wasn't quite sure.

I believe their purpose is to pointlessly block some light while draining your wallet for a look that really doesn't add anything to the car...
Name some more items that have such negative descriptors. I want to invent something stupid and make a fortune, but don't want to tread on any toes already in the market.

I personally love the look of the headlight splitters......I think they make the front of the car look more aggressive and sportier......obviously Parnelli Jones did as well as he chose to have them on his edition of the 2007 Saleen 281.........I plan to have a pair installed on my car........function? setting the car off a lil' more!

I think they look pretty good with the projector headlights because it splits them but I'm not a huge fan of them on the normal lights.

I like the look, its still something that everyone hasn't seen and its different. BTW its around $100 for this mod, in terms of modding these cars thats a drop in the bucket.

I don't really like the look of the splitters, but rmays06 - Your car looks really nice with them.

They line up well with the pony package on rmay's car, but stand alone on most cars, it's just foolish.
