I'm actually hoping for his sake and everyone else that bought these lights that the cuttoff comes out straight and it was just an error with one of their lights. If the cuttoff is straight then these will be more than acceptable for HID. Not OEM quality, but good enough!

Thanks Nakioki for putting up with all of their BS and waiting and taking this risk so that you can give us a detailed and objective review. Maybe discuss fitment and other things that were not addressed by our overexcited commercial guy with the "1st angel eyes".

BTW, nice blue sheets you got there, LOL. Keep the pics coming...

It takes 10-15 minutes. I do it all the time. All you need is a 10mm socket wrench. 10$ at Walmart for a whole set. There is a nice writup in the DIY tech section that shows where all the bolts are.

those are not half bad looking projectors but there one thing i dont like:

i just seen the cutoffs and they are slightly twisted a few degrees too much. the two notches in the center of the beam pattern you see are supposed to be lined up and even with the wall regardless of whether the car is on a incline or slightly curved driveway.

my advise
send it back to the mfg because it messed up and grab another set. that pic is an example of a Q/A dept not giving a damn about you the customer.

okay guys i am very sorry for the delays.. after the install me and my friend went to get something to eat and hanged out.

here's some pics...

okay after slowly removin the damn bumper... i took out my stock headlight T.T bye bye 12k HID...



i have noticed when installing the headlight (took me some time tryin to figure this one out.) the right side headlight ...

as you can see i cant place the hole into that.. hard to explain but thats where u put the screw back in. and the hole wont align. so my dad had to "dremel" some part of that hole and make it bigger...


trying out the lights.. btw these are the normal bulbs that came with the headlight. I gotta say its pretty bright.

But i noticed that the left headlight is pointing up... I installed it correctly and all and i cant see the problem. It was getting too late so me and my friend are gonna get back at that tomorrow after the TORC event. anyone have any suggestion? The left headlight is really off. as for the right side it is actually good. It points down and the cut off is okay. as for the left one from far away its pointing up and according to my friend he sed its like high beams just smacked at your face. I need to find this problem and try to fix it.


here's some random pic when i kinda give up for the night...







okay here's my final thought...

The lights are okay to me. It's actually nice to see it i gotta say. The install on these is horrible.... i had to connect some wires here and there... and YES my number one right now is the left headlight pointing up. For now i wont be driving at night >.< or either that ill drive with my fogs.

Oh btw the lights on the eyelid it's blue cus i have the white/blue led for parking lights before and i had no stock. But it turned out ok its blue hehe as you can see. To answer some of your question. The turn signal is at the eyelids too. Its really nice ill try to get pic of that. The lights arent actually cheap looking and all. I know some of you hating it. But its really nice to see. The cut off is ehh .. .atleast the right side is decent.. but the left disappointed me. I dont know if this is a flaw or something. But i will look into that tomorrow. The hole where i screw the headlight in place(right headlight) seems pretty short and had to re-hole it...

as for now the lights make the car stand out. It's nice to see it and all. the halogen bulbs are already bright... putting HID on these someday will be even more brighter.

-.-a im soooo tired... ask question if i miss something or n e thing...

sorry if my typing didnt make sense-.- its almost 2am reeally tired right now and have to get up early for the TORC event. Hey if anyone is going there make sure u check out my car. It's gonna be there with Scion Image!! maybe u can see the lights in person...

So yea ask n e thing ... or if i did something wrong let me know... =] Maybe u guys can help me with the left headlight hahaha.

wait, so the right headlight install gave you a little problem cuz it didnt screw back in correctly but the left one fit fine...

BUT when you turned them on, the left headlight, the beam seem really off? thats kinda weird.. haha

in conclusion..

right headlight needs a bigger screw hole but aims right
left headlight fits perfect but doesnt aim right

:/ damn

well, the projector is supposed to evenly distribute light, which does not happens with these from what i've seen. so even if you did have HIDs put into them you're going to get glare and hot spots anyway.
