Does anyone know if this is an original design or did they copy some other companies headlight? I think I have a pair of these and overpaid

Thanks

The East Bear's are more flush, these are the eBay Angel Eyes that makes it look like a frog that everyone hates...

Those are not a knock off of east bear. East bear has bigger lights and are set lower down. The headlights that the OP posted can be found on ebay for about 150.

Google brought me to that link, my buddy picked these up for me in Japan. Someone told him they were used RE Lights, but when I got them in the mail I cried lol. I don't think they look that bad.

They look ******* terrible. What's wrong with the stock pop-ups?

This, times 350....

I don't know why people like the sleeks (for a track car yes, less weight, simpler) but they look so stupid...) I love pop ups, factory, knightsports, or even ones like David's...

I would stay pop ups, but that's me and my opinion....

I love the pop ups I believe they complete the car and make the front end look flush and flowing rather than the "flush" kit

I don't think they look bad, the more expensive options are definitely nicer though. I'm going to try modding them a bit and see what happens
