Anyone have these headlights?

[energie]

Does anyone have these? Theyre different from the other projector ones, look a bit more.. tolerable. i wish they came in black but does anyone have these?
it almost looks like the wrong picture..but i dunno

and here they are in black. they look pretty good to me. better than the others. no?

 

[Blazepet7]

ive never seen them before but i love the black they look good i wanna see them on the truck if you get them...pics!! are they HIDs

energie, there was a group buy for those on here back in feb. if you find celly on here, he has a set, and i think he might be near you. that or he's in calgary, cant remember off the top of my head.

 

[BrianDye]

I was gonna say, there was a huge group buy on those, talk to "Celly" he was the "leader" or whatever you'd wanna call it lol

 

[energie]

thanks both of you, i looked him up and PMed him, but I'm pretty sure he has these ones.

 

[cybergasm]

and if i am correct Section525 has a write up on how to install these also. That might helpful

 

[BrianDye]

Yea, those were the ones from the group buy, my bad, they had em in black and chrome, idk which ones I like better! lol

 

[celly]

I have the second ones as energie correctly stated. All personal preference, but I greatly prefer mine to the other ones. What's with the big gap under the LEDs anyhow? What plugs into those?

I am very happy with my lights and while they have their quirks, I think they're great. Very functional mod. I didn't do it for looks because I prefer the look of Diamond Cut headlights/corners but we all know they work like crap with HIDs.

For the record, I never led that group buy. I just made sure people lived up to their commitments. As we've seen in other group buys, people talk a big talk. I just made sure they walked the walk.

Yes, in Calgary. Born in Edmonton but I don't like to admit that. :

Dave, I think it was Jamie (410) that has the "other lights". These latest ones look like a 3rd offering.

Mine:

I hear ya and confuse them often. They sort of share a brain.

whats wrong with being born in edmonton? lol
the gap under the LEDs? i dont know what youre talking about but the other one is for the signal lights lol. i dunno, the ones i first posted, the newer ones look more appealing to me, just because that top part on the other ones seems pointless. i still like the one piece headlight idea though. i just wanted to see them on a vehicle, because sometimes they look good by themselves but not on your vehicle, so you know

We won't get into the reasons why Calgary is a better city. Edmontonians always get so fired up when we remind them. HINT: Sports Championships from 20 years ago and an oversized, under-maintained monstrosity of a shopping mall don't count as reasons to live in a city. :

I thought I saw something I didn't on those lights. Ignore the "gap" comment.

The "top" part you mention on mine house a bulb. I think they look great and sort of OEMish. It's all personal preference. I really don't care for the other design. Jamie's actually came out first and I wasn't overly enamored with them. The second design seemed to bring out a lot more interest in the lights so I guess I'm not the only one that saw it that way. '

However, we don't need to be lemmings and do what the other guy does. Whatever works for you is what's important.

yeah its true our city does suck pretty bad.

 

[celly]

yeah its true our city does suck pretty bad.

Actually, Edmonton's not that bad. The rivalry between our cities is a good laugh. Most of my relatives outside of my brothers (Vancouver) live up there. If you think about it, our cities are "similar" in a lot of respects. I just like our location better. I can be to the mountains in about 30 minutes from my place. I also like the fact our airport isn't 1/2 way to Red Deer.

 

[energie]

yeah, there are ups and downs
back to the topic at hand lol i wouldnt even know which ones to get. the black are less flashy than chrome, and im getting black tail lights (the ones with black housing and 2 red circles and one reverse) so i think the black would suit more, but the chrome look like 01-03 f150 style harley lights. so i dont know, im not wanting to waste 200-300 on lights in the first place but if i do, they better be good.

The chrome ones just looked better on my ride which already has a chrome grille shell. What colour is your truck?

 

[2kv8]

I have the same set Celly has but now in black. I prefer the ones without the light bar on top. I do still have a set of chrome ones just like Cellys' for sale.

its the same color as 2kv8's but i got a set of black tail lights coming also, i have a chrome grille too but i dont know if that'd be too much chrome. the less the better imo lol

celly who here in calgary are you ordering them through? im looking at speedtech do a hid conversion for me using the factory housing. im more about function as i do a lot of trips through the rogers pass and like having lots of light.

I didn't order them locally. I got my setup from a place in California. Be wary about simply dropping a HID conversion kit into stock housings. While you'll see an increase in light output, you'll also see an increase in glare. I base my comments on three different kit setups. They take a lot of tweaking to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.

I'd never pay someone to do a HID kit install. They're just too simple to install on your own. HID kits have come WAY down in price to if you're paying any more than $100-$150 for the entire kit, you're overpaying. Speedtech seems like an overpriced ricer shop to me.

Consider this guy's setup if you want a real retrofit. It's a very slick setup and will work better than any kit setup. Also, 2KV8 has a good deal on a used projector setup. You'd need to get a HID setup in addition to these projectors though. This is the setup I have and he's selling it for less than 1/2 of what he paid in the same group buy I was in on earlier this year. I almost picked these up as a backup set, but I can't justify the cash outflow at the moment.
