So, I decided to make an investment on some new headlights for my car- ordered them from mrbodykit; arrived in two days. They were $239. It was mostly plug and play aside from splicing the halo's into the running lights. The halos themselves are really bright, they give off a nice white color (i believe they are powered by led ccfl)
had no problems with the install, they fit perfectly and perform pretty decent. I am still working on adjusting the projectors (gotta wait for night time to come) but they give off a pretty decent amount of lighting. I had silvania silverstars on my previous headlights, so these converted over quite nicely. I was told that the high beam uses the same bulb as the e46 bmw's use.
Anyway, i've got some pictures. Love it, hate it, I honestly don't care. I may switch back and forth stock to aftermarket; since I like the look of both.



Lights off:


Daytime running (i know, need new turn signal bulb):






Nighttime with daytime running lights (no headlights or main beam on, only halos; considerably bright; too bright for my camera)


Headlights on:








High beam:


Projector beam:

High beam:









Way better than raxiom headlights from AM IMO. very bright halos, very bright lights.

 

I love how our stock headlights flow with the rest of the car but those don't look too bad. I would get rid of those fog lights/ different grille though.

 

Yeah somewhat overwhelming you know? I'd love to but I'd want a new front end with it. Someday, just waiting for that gt

 

Actually I think the aftermarkets compliment your current grill nicely Jay.
If anything looks busy on the front, its the license plate with the second pony.
Nice upgrade imo.

 

Not my cup of tea but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters!

 

Thanks- I got that plate to cover the ugly plate indent in the bumper

 

I think it looks awesome. I've been looking at aftermarket headlights and I will say that's probably the best looking one I've seen yet. I think it looks okay with your grill, but I will agree that anything besides an overlay would look a lot better. I also do think that two ponies is too much, but another grill would take care of that. Great find!

 

This is exactly what I was gonna say. Looks good.

 

+1 I usually don't like those aftermarket headlights, but the pony grill definitely compliments them and adds to the overall look of the front of your car. Nice job!

 

I don't particularly like the headlights, but your home is beautiful!
