Hey there

I am looking for ppl with first hand experience with C-West/RE-A sleek headlight kit replicas. One set i got for friend is quite poor fitment and he would like to get something else, what fits better.
Lightning is not issue at this point, bodywork fitment is...

thanks for any help/suggestions

 

Hello hIGGI

Long time no see !!

Why replica ?

I can bring the original to you as before.

 

Both suck
get the original or stick with pop ups

 

Hi

As i said, its for friend and whats acceptable price for him, is price of replica, not 2x or more expensive original

Maybe if you can get used original for good price?

 

neither.

stick with the pop-ups and buy scrub's HID projection kit when he starts selling them.

 

My Cwest replicas fit well. I bought them of a forum member, so I can't tell you where they're from. I'm getting ready to sell them pretty soon if you're interested.

 

PM me with details, thanks!

 

Anyone else could suggest something what works and point me out in right direction? thanks!

 

raceonusa sells the c-west replicas and they fit very well. and you can usually get them to lower the price.

this is good timing if your interested in buying cause i have a set im taking off my fd atm to sell. im going back to pop-ups

here is a link to the lights:

these are exactly wat i have and would sell for a reasonable price considering mine are mint. pm me if you want them

 

We bought Raceon replica in 2006 (part number PART#RACEON0955) and fitment sucks. Thats why we are looking for better solution.

 

mine are from 07' and I have no complaints.

 

the replica c-west lights look like frog eyes to me. the clear dome part bulges up a lot more than you would think.

also, my friend had them on her fd but she took them off because they weren't bright enough.

 

Agree w above on on both statements

 

which lights do you have? i like them. i have a set of c-west replicas but i want something flush mount, i hate the bulge!

 

^If you want flush go with RE's or the replicas(rotary extreme), you have to trim a little of the frame though so they fit. Much better than stock lighting too.

 

Nice FD Laz, love the wheels

 

my lights are the rotary extreme. hate 'em, hate em, hate em.
the rotary extreme kit i bought in 2000 cuz i was too cheap to get the originals
I would do a 180 now

The rotary extreme housings didnt fit and the plexi wasnt curved to match the profile
SO i wound up sanding the plexi edges and shaving the curve of the housing to match the hood, using a heat gun to mold the plexi to the curve of the housings and epoxying the lens to it.

Never buy a replica this complicated again

 

...i can't see any sense in buying replicas....

If you have no money, spend time to save enough.

There's nothing over quality and fitment of the original parts (either RE or C-West), plus you have the satisfacton of onyl having the best parts installed on the FD. At least this alone is worth the wait.Besides, you have to remind that companies like RE, Feed etc. spend most of the time in development and improvement of these parts - when everyone go and buy the cheap ****, what do you think this will lead to...? ;-)
