Headlight kits

I was just wondering what everyone thought about the aftermarket headlight kits you can buy. I was looking at the cwest one it was like $1,200 or something why are they so much? Do you guys think they are worth it?

I have a set of C-west lights in stock, and its a daily battle to not take them off the shelf and install them! They are the best looking of all the kits IMHO

As far as price goes, go price out a headlight, bulb, bezel, housing, linkages, motor and cover from Mazda... I bet the Aftermarket light kits are a bargain

The other kits out there are East Bear, RE Amemiya, Rotary Extreme, and I believe one or two others.
From what I have read, the Rotary Extreme kit is the best as far as actual lighting performance goes..

If the C-West would work with my HID's , they'd have been installed ages ago...


=D

I perfer the RE sleek lights over the rotary extreme ones... I had a chance to look at both up close at SS5, and i can say there is a world of diff with the way the 2 look. The price diff. between the two DOES make the rot. ex. version more appealing, which almost balances it out.

I like the REs just a little bit better than the C-West.
