sooooo many people here have been wondering about those kinds of headlights from ebay

and you're the only person to have enough [censored] to actually purchase them!!!

we need a complete and thorough review of it!!! :nanana:

i was a little nervous buying them from ebay but i didnt want to buy the same headlights that everyone else has. I have nothing against them but want my X to stand out. They were very easy to install and fit perfectly. I dont know if u can tell in the pictures but the top of the headlight housing slants inward to give it an eyebrow look. It comes with 2 angel eyes that are already installed( havent wred them yet). The wiring harness was pre wired and plugged right in. Both lamps use H1 bulbs and are surprisingly bright for non xenons...this is why i havent felt the need to buy a xenon kit for them. all in all i feel it is a great buy and easy way to make your X stand out.

nice work...whitewhip. did you do the masking route or take off the whole bumper route?

WhiteWhip 07-03-2007 11:59 AM

i took off the whole bumper....it was easier than I expected...i think masking would be too time consuming.

wow, you took the whole bumper off ey...how hard was it? do you have a step by step to take it off? I can see two bolts on top that needs to be taken out from your picture.

that looks great
 
very discreet. a nice highlight on the all black area. i would be tempted to do it too.

See #7 and #12 in the "Body, Wheels & Styling" section on the homepage. :thumbup:
