Do they have a noticeable blue hue to them at night? I want these, but if i can't get them in pure white or slightly yellow, i can't use them here.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice/care that these lights stick out WAY WAY more than "authentic" C-west headlights do. I've had the authentic ones before and I didn't like the fact that they bubbled up at all, but goddamn these are ******' ugly as ****!

I think some of you people looking into this kit should really reconsider purchasing the authentic C-west lights.

The C-West looks tight in person and i'm sure the replica isn't any different. I like the bubble look and it's needed, otherwise like the RE-A replica's the low beam is too low and cut off slightly at the corner. The problem is lights are actually fog lights. Having a low beam with yellow light is illegal in CA (Maybe US). It's legal in France and some other countrys but that doesn't matter here. I thought about using the kit and replacing the low beam but the hole isn't round and i'd prefer it flush like the high beam. Oh, the original C-West supposedly is easy to crack the cover and it can fog up in the rain. Maybe you guys can update with the replica? The covers look different then the original. Looks alot higher or roundish.

what I did is cut out the back of the round light housing and installed HIDs and they light up FANTASTIC. and yes the lenses are higher than the original,from what I was told from raceon was that they re-did the lenses to look more like the original, I ordered another set of lenses from them,cuz I cracked my drivers side.I'll post pics of how they look with the new lenses

Plastic covers

Can i buy just one of the plastic covers? I lost mine on the highway at about 120 mph. I guess the seal wasn't completely tight and it went flying.

For comparison purposes, Envy, could you post a picture of your lights with one side being the new lense and the other being the old one (before you replace both lenses).

Any pictures yet? The group buy is about to begin, and I would like to see new lenses before I make my decision.

They do look good in person, I have *heard* that people have had problems properly securing the acrylic cover on and it flew off at high speeds. Just a thought...
