Diamond cut clear lense
So has anyone ordered these yet? didn't want to post in the old wisesport thread.
i was thinking about trying them out, though i don't think my stock lights are too, too, bad with the new bulbs... anyway, just wondering if anyone had tried them yet. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...QQcmdZViewItem harrison |
Let us know how it goes. :)
|
I know I have seen some cheap (<$40) on eBay advertised as a direct fit for FDs, but users found that they were really for FCs. This one seems to look like a FD shaped housing. Let us know how they turn out for you, if you get them.
|
I already ordered mine and I have been waiting for them to come. I will let you know once I post pics of them with my new HID's. I think Tim Benton also ordered a set. Just look out for my thread on the Kaixen light install.

those actually look like the one they are selling in the group buy section...it will be the quality that will be questioned..
|
interested cuase i was gonna jump in on the group buy... keep us updated! i wanna see how these are.
|
yea they look the same as the wise sports one, but supposedly these are for lhd and are dot certified... so... guess we'll see. i wouldn't think the quality should be too bad, as they are 100 dollars, compared to the other square lights you can get for like 25... we'll see though.

I bought them... if you look at the center shield they look like they are aimed higher on the left than the right. I haven't install them yet.

I saw at least 2 different sellers on ebay...which one did you get yours from neit_jnf?
|
I bought a set too. Mine also had one of the center pieces out of alignment...I bent it back to where it looked normal. I installed them along with silverstar bulbs but have yet to aim them or drive the car at night (it isnt a daily driver). So far, just turning them on in the garage, it is a great improvement over the stock faded translucent plastic lense and regular bulbs.
I have the same type in my denali and they performed about the same as stock lenses...but the stock lenses in it before were not nearly so faded as the ones in the RX7s usually are so it's not like I'd notice a difference anyway. |
both my center pieces are perfectly aligned but aimed for rhd, the seller is autodynasty

~Ramy Some people prefer brand name items..to each his own. I don't know why people make a stink about it, just don't buy it if you don't want to spend the money. Anyways, I hope mine come in soon. BTW for those of you who have them already these are plastic and not glass correct?! |
plastic, complete with rubber vent tubes and bulb cover
|
Really? It says crystal glass on the ebay title, that sucks.
|
yeah it does say glass... lol.
out of courtesy to the wisesport thread i decided to not mention these ever on the forums again haha. btw question about stock fd headlamps.. is the poor lighting caused by badly designed reflectors/lenses or by the aging/scratching of lenses? |
so yeah these are glass right?
|
PLASTIC
my stock ones are plastic as well, what's so bad about it? Most new cars come with clear plastic headlights now |
Wow, that is some craptastic light housings:)
Not sure what size your bulb housings are but I know the FC ones are 200MM http://www.rallylights.com/hella/headlamps.asp And you get a choice of DOT or ECE code housings:) James |

I have no use for them. Too bad they aren't glass but I was 99% sure they were not just by looking at the pics. I think the yellowing lenses is a big problem but not entirely the only problem. The light output just sucks. The new HID's I have make a huge difference. I want to compare what my light pattern will be with and without these reflectors. |

I had the glass ones before on my FC and they sucked since they cracked so easily...
|
Kai, were they plastic or glass? Oh and if anyone's reall worried about their lenses, you can always have them 3M coated (100% clear), and it's guaranteed to prevent the housings/lenses it covers from cracking from rocks hitting it etc.
