As long as you like them, that's all that should matter.

What's up with the LEDs in the brow? Are they supposed to be crooked like that? (Just curious)

Yeah most of them are crooked. It looks good but it'll be twice as HOT if you drop in a eyebrow. cover those leds up.

nice n clean! good work

in the first pic and the 2nd to last pic it kinda looks like a light is out on your driver side light - probably just the camera angle

EDIT: ok i thought i was the only one who thought they looked off... hehe

yep, they're anzo's.

started out as chrome housing anzos... took em apart, painted the bezel black, retro'd on an OEM eyelid that was painted black, removed the led's form the eyebrow, installed a set of clear corners, mount whelen strobes in the sidemarker bulb slot, put everything back together, and voila that's my headlights

How's the light output? Good as stock or worse? Do you have any condensation problems?

light out put sucks *****. like, seriously.... the only reason i rock them is because they look cool. if i hadnt put so much time into them, i'd still be rocking my old headlights. instead of being spread out, the light pattern has a thin hotspot that shoots directly forward, and then another that shoots way left and then another that shoots upwards and way right. anything in between these beams of light is dark.



I have NO condensation issues. The original owners of the lights (KingXofXska) had crazy condensation issues as shown by the waterspots on the inside of the lense wheni received the lights in the mail, so i knew i had to do something. I ended up running an extra large bead of black silicone around the edges when i put the lights back together. In doing so, i completely eliminated all the condensation issues. I've never had them fog up since i've phucked with em.

The LED's are gonna burn out in a few weeks... I took my old headlight eyelid and painted it black and glued it over it. Mine look like Neothins minus the amber sidemarker modification. Oh and I also fixed the cutoff! Ill try to post a pic soon. The light output still sucks bigtime even with silverstars so I will be getting HIDs soon!

all these aftermarket projectors for tc look horrible. Why can't we just have normal straight cutoff?

I recently saw a pair in person when another tc driver drove pass me. I hate to admit this, the bright A$$ halos and the leds in the eye lids make the car kinda ricey. But if you like it, good for you.

Thats why retrofitting is the best option. It gives you a nice clean look that you personally like and probably nobody else has. Plus you can easily adjust the cutoff with the washer mod and so on since you already have your headlights open.

I too think all the aftermarket tC headlights look like cheap crap.
