i wonder why they don't recommend HIDs in their headlights
go figure!

at least someone gets it 
just educating our fellow/fellas SL members (^^)v
the cut offs are definitly better than the rest of the other aftermarket projectors for the tCs, still see some glares here and there, the passenger side seems to be a bit fuzzy, i'd still get it and swap projectors XD

and TBH, the cutoff is not all that great.. i mean its the best of all cookie cutter proj's made for the tC, but IMHO, not quality. major hot spots and light where it isnt supposed to be. those are the signs of a cheaper projector, so, w/ that said, the "cheap vinyl" comment that you made dosent realy apply since the proj's are on the cheaper end. covering that part of the tail would make them 100X's better.
dont get me wrong, i think this is by far the best combo for the tC yet, hands down. but its still not at the quality level IMO..
car looks sweet!

Sorry I hope I'm not coming off as mean but that is just my honest opinion. Thank you for the compliments of my car tho.
Ohh and like you said.... it took you 10 seconds to find the cutoff pic in the other thread... it should take others just as long so there was no point for me to do it if it litterally only involves clicking a link.

im basing the quality of the projector by the cutoff. that dosent need to be seen inperson, the camera isnt taking and rearranging the light on the wall.. that can only be done by the projector. and there isnt any way you can talk yourself out of it, light is in places it shouldnt be.. BUT, i also said that it is the best option for people who want projectors. bar none, and i do see just a hint of purple/blue at the cutoff, which is what people realy like.
as for vinyl, i dont have any myself. but i did on my old car. 4+ years of WI weather, 100 + to -30. not a single problem.. yes, i hate vinyl graphics, ect.. but to put on a tailight to cover the chrome, it would be well worth it. i would do it even if i had to redo it every year.. would take less than 5 mins. chrome makes it look, i dont know.... ricerish.. reminds me of chrome altezza's when i see chrome.. nothing you have is chrome, so it sticks out terribly IMO.. and i know you cant talk bad about them, nor would i if they were sponsoring me. which your doing a great job of repin them! at least they picted a stand up guy!

Thank you. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. 
All I can say is that they were at hit at the show. Everyone loved the looks and output of the both lights so that should say a lot about the products. I know my opinion seems biased because I am sponsored by Anzo but you'll see they are worth it once more people start getting these.

I don't have the know-how or time to do my own retro fit.
I'm very happy with mine tho and I'm sure others that can not do their own retro will be happy as well.

Wow! The search button really does work! I knew I could find the tails I saw last night on SL.
I parked next to your car at Longo and immediately noticed the taillights KINGxOFxSKA; good job representing your sponsors. I can't wait to see them on my RS2.
