Hey I have a gift card for ebay for 150. Since my headlight lenses are so aged I want to make a change. Has anyone got these before. Any major problems you have seen. Sorry if this is a repost but I did search and didnt see anything recent.

ur third pic looks like the depo ones that our vendors here are selling. seems to be good. i would get those since those are the best replicas of the 04-05 ctr's
also in between ur pics u put "OUR" dont u mean O R

why do so many people hate aftermarket head lights. Now the halo ones are cheezy but the other 2 are nice.

No bc they fit like ass, leak, and make your car look like crap.

I'm not wanting to hate but i'm gonna have to agree with whats been said and add my 2 cents.
Angel eyes are for bmws. the ctr reps are actually decent and would be a step up, plus them being projectors you have the option of goin HID. If you got the angel eyes, it would be a step down in terms of quality and looks. Try to search for a pic of an ep with the angel eyes first before making a decision, or else you may regret it.

the first ones with the halos are the same as the ones sold on showstoppers. They're made by a company called anzo if i remember correctly and they are direct plug and play for the 02-03, and you can use your stock wiring if you have the 04-05. I almost bought them when I goofed up my stockies, probably will since i melted the edge and it causes a bit of a gap. From what i've seen from people who have both sets, they fit pretty good.
oh, the angel eyes require splicing into your lighting system, but i hear that they burn out

:yeahthat:
I don't think I've ever seen a set that didn't leak or have poor fitment. From a financial standpoint, $15 in materials is cheaper than a new set of garbage.

Halo's are WHACK.
Get the CTR replicas or restore your OEM headlights and retrofit!

nice pick up. you should try and do something cool with those tailights. take them apart and do something one off custom.
pics after the install!!!

wow havent thought about custom tail lights.
pynikal
08-01-2008, 06:04 PM
those are perfect for doing this. free and ugly already!!
i did the custom thing with a couple sets of xb taillights and i ended up selling a bunch of them on ebay. i had people sending me there old one for cores. than i sold the xb and havent been on SL for a while now. i should get back into doing that. i made some good $$$.

Go for these. Only thing that sucks is shippings going to be like $200-$250

i was looking at those earlier.
i asked about the top ones. seller will not accept bids from the US, even if you're willing to pay extra for shipping.
the bottom is just for the left.

€1 Euro = $1.54 USD
the UK still uses the British Pound
£1 = $1.95 USD
