Which Fixed headlights are better for the price??CWES/Rotary Extream

I'm in the market for a set of fixed headlights for my FD but not sure which ones are better.I'm lookin at the CWES it with the carbon fiber that looks sweet for $620.

Rotary Extream has something like it for for $850 which is way more and is only fiberglass and not CF.It sounds like the CWES is a better deal but someone told me the Rotary Extream kit lighting is way better.

What do you guys think I should I do?Which ones should I buy?Thanks in advance.

I dont think those come with a plastic cover that goes over the light.

I have the cwes kit. I dont use the low beams cause I cant see anything with them on. They are horrible for "lighting" but look nice. I also broke one of the lexan covers and it is 100+ bucks for a new 1. im about ready to put the pop-ups back in. The light the put out is really horrible. They also dont use a "headlight" they are fog lights. not saying that the kit you are looking at does not come with better lights, but the kit I got from cwes themselves.



P.S. I dont run the covers anymore.

Putting subjective things (how they look aesthetically) aside, RotaryExtreme light kit is the way to go . You get better lighting - which can be seen at rotaryextreme.com, plus Chuck will give you real good customer service and product support.

I don't have a pic yet, car is being painted right now. I can get you a stock pic off ebay

Honestly, the lighting is Incredible!! They are both H7 bulbs, and i just put sylvanias in them, and they are so bright. Plus there is a relay that allows you to turn your Lows, highs, and high beams on all at once. .. . not to mention the halos look insane at night!!

Did the Dual Halo's come with the plastic covers or are they the type that stick up above the hood/fender ?

They stick up above the hood. I think they look pretty good for under $300. Slap some paint on them and they should look pretty nice.

Are the lights removable?!? Say if someone wanted to put these lights in with the RE pods, with obvious fabrication if needed.

Does anyone know where to get the lights that look like RE sleeks but they have the intake hole in each one, leaving only one headlight on each? Is that street legal even? They're on the red car in the link, says it belongs to Jehan (with the GTC kit and Advans):

I was planning on getting the RE's anyway before that, instead of the C-west, for one because of how they look. I just think the way the C-west ones bubble up was just not nice looking.
