Headlight Projector bought

Well,

I have just taken the plunge on the cheesegrater headlights...I know I might get flamed for this but I needed new headlights.

I just ordered them on Ebay for 577 plus 49 shipping so it was high but I hope it comes out to be well worth it.

Does anyone have a black CLK with these installed??? I would love to see what it will look like.

All I need are some rims and a bodykit now!!! Any one selling???

Well I didnt order the black ones...I couldnt picture them looking right on my black car. I almost did it but wussed out at the last minute last night and got the chrome ones instead. Hopefully they will get here quick and I can install them over the weekend.

For those that care..I will post some pics when they are installed.

AHHH!! The black ones would look pretty slick on the black car (i think anywayz)...I wanna see black on silver too!

CLK FAN needs the black projectors...they'd be bad on his all blacked out clk. They'd look nice on BB's 55 too.

i think those would look great with a black car and chrome projectors. that pic belongs to Tery. black projectors on a black car would look horrendous. its been discussed before and pix were posted. you need some kind of contrast up in there!

Hmmm I can read English, Spanish and some German BUT Japanese is well, well outta my lane LOL.

But Damn thats a good price for those lenses. Oh well I guess I might as well just be happy that I ordered them.

Sales representatives name is Shimizu and his email is
shimizu@ots-auto.com.tw he speaks English and Japanese.
I did a bank wire transfer, scanned and emailed him the transaction slip.
I received the projectors 2 days later.

They are currently working on making LED Tail Lights for our cars but are not sure of when they will become available.

Good thing I didnt order the black projectors, they dont look very good on a dark car! I'm still undecided about the chrome ones.

No problems. It's rainy season so I had it installed at a local body shop.

There should be a group buy to see if you can all save on shipping or even get a better price.

ya I'm not a big fan of the black ones either. not a bad idea with the tint. I think it would look hot on your car with the darker headlights, i'll go with the rest of your car.
