It almost looks as if you can make it yourself. Just cut the stock light housing put in the lights and do some fiberglass to fill it in.

This is the Run Racing kit shown on the yellow car you linked to. Unfortunately, his pictures were cell phone-quality (**** poor) and the black pods didn't help any with detail. They have no clear covers, which he mentions in the last post in that thread.

Regardless, it's different from the Run Racing headlight kits shown on the white and yellow cars above. OK?

To answer iceman4357's question, I don't know of anyone who has taken the $2,000+ (with shipping) risk to find out if the HID Run Racing light kit is worth it.

This cover is a 2-piece cover fastened together by two bolts from underneath. This wouldn't be such a big deal. But because they made the light fit into the sockets too well, that you'll end up messing up your light alignment when you're putting them in or you'll scratch the paint on the cover, your fender, or etc...
Light alignment is a bitch. As i said earlier, you have to put the cover on first before you try aligning the lights. Now imagine you trying to align lights that are tightened to prevent them beam "wandering" over time. (wandering=beam slowly point downwards after a few months of use & NO... locktight didn't help... it was so hot that it'd melt the sucker.) So alignment took some time...
Heat is an issue. when it's raining I can see the steam coming from the lights but it isn 't as bad as the Cwest where it fogs up the clear piece making it so that you can't see at all. Nonetheless, the clear piece will still crack. The good part about this is that these clear covers are easy to fabricate so you don't have to buy $400 dollar cover replacements like the Cwest kit.
