Installed new headlights today

As many of you know I bought the 3 rotor FD on the forum 3 weeks ago. I have been working the bugs out and have her ready for a tuning session with Steve Kan in a month in Las Vegas. When i got the car their was no headlight lids so i just bought a cheap set of Ebay headlights until the summer then I will get some Flush HID's.. They look pretty good for the cash.. I paid like 160.0 shipped and they came in black and took 45 minutes to install including the time to remove the old lights.. This is the link for the lights on Ebay..

I love your car.

But the ebay headlights and bumper gotta go. I know you said they will in the summer. I just had to say it out loud.

Oh yeah the rest of the car is good.

Post Script. Hows the light pattern? Can you see better with them compared to stock?

It's a good solution to no headlights, but PLEASE get rid of those whack lights as soon as possible. They do no justice to the car and you have a VERY nice FD.

I really dont think they look all that bad. And ****, for 160 they look great. Good luck at your tuning session, be sure to post your chart in the dyno section.

Davin, stop spending all your money on the 7 and feed the chic in your avatar.

After re-reading that you had no headlights, I guess its a quick fix, but which ones are you planning on finishing with?

I don't think they look *that* bad on a black car, meaning that the frog look is not as obvious.

C'mon guys, it's a temp job. if he likes them, then more power to him. if he hates them, then more motivation to buy sleek lights.

Plus, it's got a Turbo 20B under there... you won't be seeing much of his front end anyways.

Honestly it does not look that bad. The only thing that bothers me is the halo ring.

What are you talking about? That's a bamboo 14 foot bar/fish tank setup.
