Look! I've bought expensive Hella's headlights and i can't say that i'm satisfied 100%, so why not give a try to these angel eyes?

The most important thing for me in headlights is how bright and plain their light with the same bulb!

Hey Relisys190 why are you so brutal? Have you tried those?

the point of those is too have some light showing with the head lights off. like daytime running lights. so cars can see you better.

now since our headlights are DOWN when the lights are off. they are 100% pointless.

those no name brand POS will give off way less light then the hellas. the blue light is for looks. not for light.

That seemed so obvious to me.

IMO those things look fugly, and I hold BMW personally responsible for starting the trend. The BMW designers who dreamed this stupid idea up should be sent to work at Lada as punishment...

Yeah, right. But you can pop-up your headlights without turning on the low-beam with a turn of a swich. So if you need more aggressive view at the moment you can turn on your city lights and pop up the headlights... Uuggg.. Looks so scary in the rear mirror

Hey don't knock Lada, they made some crazy rotaries for different purposes in Russia for awhile.

As far as those lenses go, smells a bit ricey to me.

Hey, i live here and i know all things about Lada... I even had Lada 2108 2 years ago...

Their rotaries mostly dying after 50-60 K kilometers... Altought i heard about some of them last for 350-400K kms... BUT! They are almost not repairable!

They still making rotaries mostly for police cars...

I bought the Diamond cut ones without that illuminated bezel.

It looks much better than the ugly old frosted over ones I had in there but the Blue/Bright headlights they came with are ****. They have absolutely no Distance. They do reflect stop signs and highway signs though(and some cop cars)!

Mine came with a small insert at the bottom to add Blue LEDs which I NEVER put in.

So my lights are a little ricey but it's cause the Silver star bulbs are like $25 a piece.
I've had them in my car for about 7 months now and have only been pulled over once by a VERY bored COP(I wasn't close to speeding,I was at the exact limit).

I want to keep the Diamond cut style but get better more legal bulbs. The Motorcycle Silver star bulbs had the same prongs so I might get them.

not spending any money on headlights until I can afford to get rid of the pop ups for some fixed lights.
