UPDATE: pics of East bear lights.

in my opinion...they look...ok....not great but it sure was better than the ghetto lights I had on there.

Ok, I will be the first to step up and say

They do have a very unique look to them. That 2nd picture looks really cool.

How is the lighting at night?

Then I'll be the first to say they look horrible. All they had to do was stagger the darn lights (a-la-RE-Amemiya/PanSpeed's lights/intake setup) and it'll look less bifocalish.

Solly...not my cup of tea or coffee or Red Bull.

They look fine to me. They sort of hide because of the black paint.
Best seen from a slight side view. Maybe try painting them a different color for contrast.

dude, no offense, but I aint gonna lie, I think the stock flip ups look WAY better than those! Those are not anywhere near flush with the body and simply stand out (not in a good way). The FD body is so smooth and flowing that a light kit like that just doesnt look right. Thats just my opinion though man. Please dont hold a grudge w/ me or anything. I think it is cool to try something different than everyone else and make your car unique. If that is how you want your car to look, then Great! I woulda spent my money on a new front end though...so your Sweet FMIC can breath better. Just a dumb 18 yr old's advice though. Dont take it personally. I still really like your car!

hahah don't worry I put the pic up to get ppl's opinions, personally I think they are ok, not the greatest. I got them because RE's had to cut the frame and the C-west has bad lighting. and most importantly they are both EXPENSIVE! I got mine cheap I would've kept the stock popups but during the accident they got messed up (along with my MS type 2 bumper ) and the price of the stock one was more than the east bear.

Next step, finding some H9 HIDs to go in the Hellas.

Jimlab if you ever make it I'll buy it from you

PS lighting is great, not very wide but they are good, I'll take some night pics tonight.

Why does it feel like we are NEVER going to have a kickass headlamp system?

Read my mind. All the kits look like crap. Just not an FD. They ruin the completely smooth styling the way most wings and body kits do. But then again, I like the mostly stock look.

Well, I like 'em...especially for how much cheaper they are. I just think they aren't looking good from a head on view, but I think that might be because your bumper....you get a nice front bumper on there and it will look nice..
My FD is red and I'm thinking about getting those lights and painting them black like you did, then I'll get a CF hood to blend in, might look different...

How much was it for everything(incl. paint)? And where'd you get it?

Won't make them for us (RX-7s) or won't make them for us (C5s)?

My Z06 needs headlights. The stock pop-ups suck and all the aftermarket solutions are worse (believe it or not) than the RX-7's...

The Breathless kit, which uses CATZ lights and has a stupid little computer case fan in each pod for heat, I suppose...

wow. those are pretty damn fugly! ive seen the C5-R from different angles, and i also think the lights on there are ugly too.

i still think the C-West sleek light kit for the FD looks the best.
