YES. they have the SAME part number, so they are the same functionally, because they are the same lights

I installed mine today, but it got dark before I had a chance to secure the HID ballasts so I didn't bother to finish up. The lenses themselves went on flawlessly and I'm glad to finally have mounted my HIDs on my FD.

It is a big pain in the *** to change lenses on the FD compared to the FC.. damn.

good pics Trispeed, I need to install my Kaixen hid's I bought a couple of years ago that have been sitting since then. I need to figure out how to make my driver side light not continually sag, almost as though the plastic piece you snap into the light on the bottom and use the adjustment screw to raise it up or down is stripped.

humm I'm not going to lie; I'm rather upset about paying 220 and then waiting a year for lights I could have purchased for 50 dollars, and had in two weeks. I wish I would have known, Ramy were you or anyone else involved in the group buy aware of this?

I doubt it man. No where on the Wisesports site says that they use sonar lenses, and I believe these are the only pop up lenses out at the moment. I can tell you that everyone here probably had no problem with fitment though.

Of course not. I don't think *anyone* really knew about these or the specs until someone purchased a set from Ebay and posted the info about them on the thread, well AFTER the GB order was placed.
