Today I got the things I most wanted, MY NEW LIGHTS!!

They came from Japan after I bought them from ebay.

The package


What's inside


Unpacked


Left lowbeam


Left highbeam


The mounting point from the left lowbeam is broken, but it can easily be fixed.


The socket is for a H1 socket, but I'm planning to convert it to a HB4 (9006) socket.


Also I have to adjust the direction of the light, it's RHD, in the Netherlands we're LHD.
I've seen a few good Howto's on converting RHD to LHD.

Projectors FTW biggrin.gif They have to be the single best upgrade to the front on the car. Really updates the look as well as far better for night driving.

The package cost me ~ $730 and it's a lot cheaper from when I would've bought them in my own country!

If I got them from a shop in the Netherlands it would set me back $1454. mad.gif

I think this is the best and most cost effective way. laugh.gif

When I saw a picture of manphibian's car and other cars with the clear lenses I just knew this was the way to go.
It takes a good looking car into a new category (from a nice looking car to an up-to-date modern sportscar).

Good buy! I sold a set to kloudkicka and shipped them to canada for around $850 shipped and i thought that was a deal!

Too bad i cant afford a set for myself.

they're definitely one of the best upgrades for the celi. now you have to compliment them with a set of HIDs.
