They are popping on eBay now. Was wondering who has them and what they think? Thinking of this vs Depo

I haven't seen anyone rocking them yet. EagleEyes Indonesia is the manufacturer of these and today was the first time I was able to find a picture of these on their actual website, so they must be brand new. More pics:








I bet wiring would be a b*tch from what I have read. Someone correct me if I am wrong but these are not plug and play. You will need to rig up your own switch for the halo's and worm type light on the corner directly on the battery. Not only that, but if you have HID's like I have on my MR, you would need to go aftermarket in order to keep your HID look.

I'm kinda upset after reading all of this information. Why go through so much trouble to make a nice headlight and not come up with a plug and play solution. I've been through the whole "build your own wiring harness" debacle before, and it is indeed a *****. Especially routing your wires through the firewall so you can have a switch in the cockpit.

Why don't you just get someone to modify your headlights then? This would be a big step back in quality over OEM..

Not to defend eagle eyes, but its a b*tch and a half to remove everything from your headlights, bake them in the oven, then rip them apart , install your lights, and put them back together.

It makes it look like a 6 series (not in a good way). Way too cheap looking IMO.

I'm busy baking my headlights right now for a projector conversion, it's actually pretty easy. But Halo's are for BMW and Audi and they should stay there, I see alot of civic ricer boys rock them too which makes me like them even less.

the LED strips are overkill.

i guess it would look somewhat "ok" if it were just halos with the housings completely blacked out.
