Aftermarket Headlamps - GennTec

Has anyone ever used these? Im doing some initial investigating of the best way to replace my current lights. $245 sounds like a deal, especially with A/E's built in.

At 185k miles Im not looking to dump $800 into lights, so this might just be about all I can do, aside from having them polished..

I think these are about as close to OE as I've seen,

Gotta love Chinese to English translation...lol

Honestly not a bad pair of upgrades for the price.

They dont look very OEM. The halos are very small in comparison. Looking at the pics especially the one with the red X, they look small and lost IMO.

Those look terrible.


Why don't you get these (same seller), 25 bucks less, and they look more OEM? tmv had a pair on his old 3.0, they literally look like facelifted lights!

They are the best looking/closest to OEM without a doubt. Clear corners is a bonus, too.

miss your ol' 3.0 tmv! One of the cleanest in recent memories and I definitely keep your X in mind when I do mods on mine!

As soon as I get my air suspension issues sorted out and make sure I don't have to replace a ton of parts i'm getting a set of those for myself, they really transform the front end of the pre-facelifts completely (and at less than half the cost of Depo's!)

I don't like those marks at the projectors on Depo headlights, along with the overprice. If I were to keep the 3.0, I would open them up, swap in Xenon projectors and LED AE Rings. That would be pretty much perfect to me.

Exactly why I posted, they do look much better!
