do they fit? The hood/light clearance on the inside seam doesn't look right to me.

I *think* that there was a FD outside Jesus Padilla's shop (the whole car was in need of serious help....I highly doubt that he would use those lights after seeing the incredible attention to detail that he had when finishing David Hayes' FD) with those lights when I was hanging out with David Hayes around New Years. They looked very similar, and the fitment was terrible.

From the looks of the pictures on FleaBay, the fitment is pretty atrocious, which would go along with the set that I saw at Kilo.

Perhaps it's the aftermarket bumper and hood that have fitment issues and make it look like ***. The only way to find out is for you to try.

Had them, sold them. Fitment is bad, bad, and worse. You may get them to line up after hours of adjustment like I did, but it's not worth it imo.

I went back to stock. As crappy as the lighting is with stock, it's better than the EVO-R's. I may do the SakeBomb kit if they ever come down from their high and lower the price a bit.

Bought my car with the 90mm ones installed. They didn't fit very well and the lighting was so bad it was dangerous to drive on the road at night. Even with both lights on at the same time, the OEM pop ups are still brighter. I'm glad I went back to stock.

I will say this...these lights are LIGHT. If you have a race car and still need functioning headlights, but want to keep the weight down, these would be be fine. It's a simple design and they are made using cheap plastic.
