Those look nice Nakioki.

I noticed your fog lights.
Do you have close up shots of them?
What brand fogs are those? How much?

those fogs are PIAA.. i forgot.. been a while i got em.

Oh.. I think i found the switch for the projectors. Guy from my club said it was those small screws-.- which i didnt think it was. Anyway I just got home from the TORC event and i'm going to rest for a while haha.. its SOooo hot out there. I will try to fix or try those screws out later and let you guys know.

yea well im not expecting nice cut off from HID... im expecting brighter and nicer color. As for the projectors itself. yes they are tinted blue. But i noticed its not tooo darkened blue. it was just lightly tinted.

When i held the headlights it felt pretty stable. As in when i held both stock and aftermarket together. They were about the same. The feeling is the same. and the aftermarket didnt feel like itll crack easily or something. I believe these things will hold on well.

I'm starting to like them... the looks that is... it makes the car stand out and makes it look meaner.

Are the projector light housing lens clear plexi-glass or hard tempered glass?

Also, curious of close up shots of those recessed fog light setup.

you know what.. like i said the right headlight is actually low and pretty decent straight. I mean it's not the best or anything... it's just the LEFT one messed it up! lol... must fix it.. must... must.. arrrgh
Sorry buddy but there is nothing straight about either of those beams. It amazes me how positive your being about the situation. You payed a great ammount for these, more than oem headlights, yet they don't even fit. They show shotty craftsmanship on all levels, you can't even drive with them at night. And yet they are great and really make the car stand out. Wow, the power of the human mind to dillute ones self into feeling OK about a really bad purchase. Not trying to sound snobby, but these pics and your DIY experience only serve to reinforce my original notion that these lights are crappy wastes of cash. Hey, but if it did not hurt you financially and you like the way it looks, I guess that is all that matters. Good Luck. Oh, and you need to get a pic on a white wall from 25-35 feet. Try going behind a walmart at night withyour camera.

I agree with him...thanks for having your car be the guinea pig and for providing feedback, something the original poster kind of failed to do. As for the cutoffs...not too bad, hopefully it will get fixed. Next friday (19th) we should hear and hopefully see something from Umnitza!

I believe you misunderstood me about the projectors NAKIOKI.

I'm not asking about the projector lens itself. I was wondering about the lens of the
entire light housing. Is it clear plexi-glass or tempered glass.
I believe the factory one is plexi-glass.

well you know he works for them... and got the lights for free...

yes there are lights that comes with the headlight...

here some random pic...







people have different taste and different opinions... I think the headlights are fine. Lights are just lights. cut offs are cut offs HOW PERFECT DO you want the cut off to be. Not like people will pay attention to them. and If i blind someone. well thats too bad. Cus i know i been blinding someone when i had my stock lights with HID. But then again i can just go to my s2k and mercedes...

Other than that... like i said don't hate ~ appreciate

i kinda agree with you. hey, as long as you like them nakioki then thats all that matters. i remember when i drove my lowered 94 celica back in HS, man.. i got blinded left and right (mainly cuz my car was lower then everybodies) whatevers though. yes its dangerous *insert lecture* but hey, its your money and you do whatever you want.

take some more night pics when you get the chance. and update us with the left light angle problems
