I'm thinking of wiring mine to have both come on for high beams, since they are both the same bulb/lens.
I think it would provide more light

Still waiting on my R&P that I ordered at the same time.......

Thumbs up

alright.....I didn't like the look of the lights on the cp website. but they look really good on your car. my car is black, and I think they would look tight on it. maybe with a vented carbon fiber mantis hood

deffinatly re-thinking the lights tho.

beautiful car by the way.

How about aiming, are there any difficulties aiming the lights after install? Those look really nice on your car. How 'bout some more pictures of the rx3 sittin in the background.

Nobody has posted a pic of the light pattern yet. How hard would it be to paint the black part to match you car? I wouldn't think it'd be that hard off the car. I'd like yours better if they were painted white. Don't like black and white on cars.

Ive wondered this too. Is it sealed to where yu cant paint it? or can you open them? They would look tight if they were the same color

There are 4 pop rivits that hold the cover on, so you would need to drill and repop them.
I've been busy with other things on the car so I have not aligned my lights (which is a pain)
I don't drive it at night right now, getting ready for MRR, hopefully sunday night I can take it to work and get them aligned then.....

A little off subject, but is that the CP wide body kit. I bought one last year and haven't put it on yet. I was wondering what you think of fit and finish and how much trouble was it to get it lined up right. I do now see what I need to do with the bumper. Been wondering how that needed to be treated.

I think they would look better if the fixture they are in was painted the same color as the car. I don't really like the flush mount lights though, I think the sleepy eyes are the best
