Aftermarket LED Headlights - Nice or Rice?
found it weird that my roommate's X GSR had halogens ...
in regards to the headlights, I seen them out for a while, K2 motors had them on special for $799 at one point, but I missed out on that. I'm working on a custom retrofit project at the moment and so far looks like it's gonna cost me about $500-700 total for parts. If those headlights were $600-700, I'd probably jump on them, however I probably would disable the LED strip, or try to put it on a separate toggle switch (ya know, for car shows!!). I like them because of the glow effect, especially along the side. Plus projectors > halogens imo.

do ralliarts have projectors now?
and yea the price is decent for what your getting but its still alot for lights in my opinion , but then again i have no hid'sprojectors nothing some im cheap in that sense
think cin city charges more then that to and you have to send them your lights , so options for aftermarket headlights are slim

Only the SSS (Sun/Sound/Spoiler) package does, if I'm correct.
CinCity charges like $500 in labour, not including shipping fees, and yes, you have to send them your projector headlights (the ones they show are from the OEM projectors, they don't custom fabricate the shrouds).
So if you're running stock halogens, you're looking at about $1000+ for the SSS projectors, plus $500, plus shipping. I could be wrong on their fee, but I think I read that somewhere.

would this be the Brandon I keep hearing about? Or was it Brian? Bennan? Some B-name ... oh geeze, watch his name be like Samsonite ... lol ... I was WAY off!
I know he did tigz headlights, and I've heard him mentioned by a few people. Quality work from what I've seen!

Rice.
Evo`s look nicer with Projections. Angel Eyes and those LED things aren't a mix on EVO`s. Plus I'm finding it lame everyone is putting LED`s on their cars...saw a 2006 Mazdaspeed6 with them....TERRIBLE
