Looks good bro. How easy was it to install? Plug and Play?
I'm gonna wait for the Umnitza's (hope not too long) and then I'll make a decision.

well ihave no idea what a cutoff is...but i have a few questions.

is the top amber part in fact the blinker....

if it is, is there some way we could rig the two lights wher ethe stock blinker would be on a stock headlight, to glow amber and make that the blinker and then cover the top amber part? i think they would look 10x better w/o that part on them.

i think its cool that someone is working on a HID kit for the tC....my one problem is the fact that it looks so....ugh ihate to use the word...but "rice". I never use that word, but that is what it looks like. Too much clear/white. it reminds me of the ghetto tail lights and headlights people put on hondas or acuras. the "euro" look or wahtever. Newsflash, our car isnt "Euro"

all in all, i think the look ok. not bad, not great. deffinetly could be improved upon. i think the idea is right, but could use some cosmetic changes.

these are HID's... he put HID's in them

i give props to him for doing that, actually putting HID's in them rather than some ____ty blue bulbs most ricers do

and the desgin, too much going on, change the two white led's to amber...disconnect the top signal and you straight

AND WHY THE FLACK does ebay have such cheap products...

from what i see, the angel eyes have two led's and glow throught the ring... why not use a full ring so it can be bright?

and the light up top... its only one light right..but the beam is long so it lights up the whole thing very crappily

i would maybe get them..but smoke them out, disonnect hte halos, and reroute the turbsignals

Notice that the original auction posted at the start was for 300 and now they are going to 400. I guess the manufacturer got word of the demand and craze.... SUPPLY AND DEMAND, LOL

Old Auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...62188705QQrdZ1

New Auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...spagenameZWDVW

The original auction was from vertexracing.com , now this new one is from directshoponline.com

I guess the means that the real manufacturer is selling to a few distributors, hopefully that will help with price

I'll take quality over quantity any day. And these, IMHO, lack quality.

Oh i agree quality over quantity... of course...

Ok.. sometimes it cant be good to have these kinda stuff... But look at this way. Hopefully there some company out there that will look into these crappy ones and make a UBER one. *Looks at umnitza*

Thats lame... On their website they sell similar projector style headlights for other cars, but wayy cheaper. I wont buy these headlights until they're less than $250. I say dont buy them and wait for them to drop prices...lol.

*remember that with those headlights an HID Kit is not included.... so thats another $200-$300...

If it's HID he has in there, what kind? Authentic or rebased? D2S or 900*/H*?

And yes, I want to know the quality of the Projector as well. Not that it's a Hyundai projector for halogens and by sticking HID in there, there's no shield inside, glaring everyone and their mothers.

This guy needs to do a full review if he's going to come here as the "first one"

I say dont buy until the price drops. We're a community and shouldnt let companies try to rape us for $400 when the quality isnt there.

Amen! $400 is a little too much for me. i can get some good S2000 projectors and supplies to start my retrofit for around $400. And we all know how good the cutoff and quality of those are!

So im fine with my Luminics Titanuim White for now!

Im with you Yanki, Im fine with my SilverStars until someone 1) comes out with quality worth ~$400-500 or 2) comes out with something relatively priced.

Its obvious they're trying to rape us in the price when the price was @ $300 and then they raise it to $400. They should take a few economics classes and learn about price elasticity! I know some of us considered those projectors @ $300, but @ $400, that price is ridiculous.

Can we have a bit more detailed review please....

I would like to see some picks with the included bulbs or just standard bulbs or silverstars.

What kind of HID is being used?

Can you take a pic of whatever the lights are shining at, a garage door or something?

A few close ups of the lights from teh back and from the front so we can all get a feel for quality?

You got these lights and are now "sponsored" and the person that really bought them first is now waiting for his (Gotta love the irony) so please provide us with a detailed review.
