Ok !!

Ok people I installed them! Perfect fit, they snap right in place. The bulbs ar at a slightly different angle than the stockers; I haven't seen the light pattern well because it's daylight but a quick check on my garage door shows them aimed higher at the driver side which doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm very happy with the results!!
|
Wow...they do look a lot better. Can you just aim the driver's side down a bit by adjusting the screws? Also what are you using for bulbs? It would be nice to see the new beam once it gets dark if you get a chance.
|
I just got mine from ebay the other day and I will post results after I install them. It looks like the group buyers paid a premium for the same thing.

H4 Silverstars, pics are low beam, high beam, and overexposed high beam for fun
I suppose the driver side can be aimed lower to compensate but I don't think it's too bad. I'll have to drive on some really dark streets to check lighting and maybe play with aiming some other time |

the stockers aren't as bright and the pattern is exactly the same but reversed; the light angles upwards toward the passenger side in low beam, but look the same in high beam
|
Aha...so these things are the same as the Wise Sport ones. Gotta get one of these then.
Quality will be the same I think. Reza |
I'm pleased with mine too. I think it updates the look. I put Silverstar bulbs in them and it's way brighter then the yellow stock lights.

nice, hopefully this will improve my HID beam pattern
|
Looks a lot better, so many options now, but i still like the sleepy.
|
I'm getting the one off Ebay here and putting the Hid kit in there after some time. I'm sure it can't be worse then my MG.
|
Got mine...then I had my friend in Japan check the Wise Sports headlight on the spot.
I sent him photos of the one I got from ebay... Exactly the same....all those guys on group buys are screwed... Well ebay screwed me with $100 plus tax plus $30 shipping. Overcharged on shipping definitely from dynasty auto. LA to San Jose should not cost $30. |

There's the Ebay camp, who loves Ebay strut bars, torque braces, ICs, and manifolds...and there's the Name Brand camp who has no prob spending the extra $$, given they won't have to worry about fitment, performance, longevity, and say, in this case, housings melting. I mean hey, the last time I heard someone say the same thing you said (hey, I got this for half the price from Ebay...all you guys got jibbed!), he posted a few weeks later that his Makita/Pro Car Parts/ie from Ebay 99spec combo lights melted... ;) ~Ramy PS: FYI, pics can be as informative as they are deceiving. Just b/c something LOOKS the same doesn't mean it is. And comparing housings by the LOOK of them isn't exactly what I'd say qualifies as an in-depth comparison & analysis :) |
Good post Ramy. There's just some things that I wouldn't buy for my FD on ebay. :)
|
Close up of stamp on Ebay light in case anybody wants to compare.

Well...the description is off...but it's listed properly under Mazda lighting. I suppose you can get them from here if you don't want to deal with eBay. I wonder a right side angle-up version exists? |
FD Newbie, its not opinion, rather fact since I have the product from ebay and send photo to my friend in Japan to check it out.
And this is the first brand new parts I got from ebay. Usually I buy all branded stuff e.g. Greddy, HKS, Apexi,....I don't think Wise is that branded brand anyway... The one I got is left side angled up. I have put one on left and stock one on right with the same bulb, the beam looks like this now... \ / hahaha I still have to take picture for comparison. Its not that much brighter. I think my bulb is about to go out, its at least been in the car for 5 years. I am sure the HID ones would be much better. I think the angle could be adjusted by having a different lens cap angle. This lens cap is the metal that cover the bulb inside the housing. It is somewhat rotate a little if you look from behind, and it is removable, so I will try it out later when its dark outside and not raining. |
