Custom X headlights w/carbon fiber? -video-

Not too shabby.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLZLzY-3L0


It's been a while since i've owned an Evo that I think it's going to be sooner rather than later that I finally buy a X. Just searching through youtube to find as many X videos as I can. Can anyone point me to a thread that maybe has a good list of good videos to watch? I've probably seen a majority of them, but i'm sure some of you have some good home mades!

Those are nice but I believe they are custom made, prepare to pay an arm n' leg for them. Your better off waiting for eBay knockoffs. For the videos YouTube has a pretty good collection of videos, that's where I get all my clips.

retro fit and the extra stuff should cost under $1000.

CinCity isn't exactly a cheap place to get youe headlights done although they do fantastic work.

these are by CinCity and cost $$$$ but they do have different options with the retrofit for dual projectors. and unlike many retrofit jobs this mod uses a injection molding for the housing to match it to the existing projector. slick stuff (way to expensive tho).

edit: I was also lookin at them again, would have looked better paint matched with no carbon.

It's not the headlights for sale, but the ability to get similar work done to your current set. Could end up being pretty cheap if not very many people see it.

Ebay knockoffs have horrible light output and moisture seeps into them and they break or fog up a lot. If you want to do any headlight modification, it's much better to invest in these.
