the reason why you haven't seen them before is because they are hideous. lol

First time seeing these as well...they look so cheap and photoshoped nonetheless. I hope no one ever gets these.

I would buy them, take the outer lens only and use them for a projector retrofit in my Bosch Euros.

I'd then break up and throw the rest of the assembly at ricers as they fart-canned by

lots of cars
I talked to the guy and he only has 3 sets and takes two weeks to ship. Also i think they look different than regular ones or euros. My car is dark charcoal grey so they would look nice and are cheaper than buying 94-95 headlights if you wanna do a facelift. I hate altezza headlights and tail lights but these can be modded to look better and would be better to retrofit some projectors where the fog lights are. So those are my .02C! OH Yeah If these are too jap then what about all the people with crystal clear corners??

Looks nice but it doesn't suit my tastes. I'm curious to whether it uses a 9004 & H1 bulb or the Eurospec H3 & H1 configuration.

I think they look good. If I had those lights on my old W124, I would have rocked them! I am sure they would look killer with a set of HID's. With the Euros, the etched glass killed the beam pattern. This clear lense is awesome for HID's, I would probably even smoke the housing for a meaner look.

Yes i hate crystal clear corners too! and im just saying that these lights have potential and make your car look newer if you can add some projectors like the ones on the russian guys website!
