They look really good and at less than 1/2 of the CWest price.

Any one with experience with this copy light.

Those are pics of the actual C-west lights. I would ask them to email you pics of the lights that they offer. So you can get a better veiw of the qualty that they sell.

they look just like the cwest and r prolly gonna be just like them because all you have to do is take a mold of them to have the same thing.

Seeing as how the C-West are just off-the-shelf driving lights, with a CF housing and a molded lexan cover, I can't imagine that it would be any big trick to knock them off well for half the price.

First off its known that the C-West kit has worse lighting than the stock setup....which sucks too. Think about it, if there is a company offering the $1200 kit for $500......well logic should kick in at anytime.

You can buy a Rotary Extreme sleek light kit with HID for that kinda money.
The C-West light are useless IMO.
