how you guys feel about these?

Sadly my color didn't have the light package when I bought it so got stuck with the ugly halogen lights and the silver housing

Been looking for couple different choices for headlights. I could either open up the headlights and have a shop make the housings gloss black like I've done in the past with my bmw. Or wrapping the headlights in a light tint to give them a darker look.

But I ran across these headlights on ebay from Mars. They are black led 3d drl projector headlights that are plug and play with my headlights now. I ordered from this company years back for my 350z taillights. The quality of those were very amazing actually. Very well put together so I doubt these will be any less. But i don't know how i feel about them. From the site, it says it is the closest to the real deal face light headlights.

The DEPO lights sold by fishcake321 on eBay look much closer to OEM than these do. I opened mine up and painted the insides black. It was easy.

They look cheap IMO.
Also, read their description. Not compatible with factory Xenon vehicles.

Ran into these the other day, they look as oem as they get with the black housing. Wonder if anyone has given them a try.

Why would you buy the outdated older version with the ugly eyebrow instead of the FL depo version? Unless you really like the eyebrow part....then cool .

From what I know, to go to the newer FL depo version you would aleast need the newer hood to make the headlights work. Unless Ive read wrong. I would be changing out the headlights more due to the chrome housing i have more then anything. If theres a depo version for the pre Fl that looks like the FL version that looks good, I would consider it. But I haven't been able to find anything on here or ebay that has.

Not 100 percent about this but the last ones I posted a link to , offer a halogen headlight with black housing and a xenon headlight with black housing. Once you add the item to your cart it asks you which choice you would like to pick. As for other headlights, no clue.

I have the depo, and they look very close to OEM. They will work with xenon. Lots of people have them. Search is your friend.
