Listen,

I am happy with my purchase. The quality will not be anywhere near what hella or Bosch (duh) but for the price, heck I'll take two of them.

here are the two issues I faced

1. The clear corners look dope, but are the crappiest corners ever! Its not the material, its rather the fit and finish, the rubber trim had to be superglued back on by me, they were basically hanging on by a corner with some elmer's glue

2. I had to make NUMEROUS adjustments in order for the lights to fit PERFECTLY (or rather the way they SHOULD FIT) like, different screws, align the lights in a way that not even the top headlight tabs were even, I mean it was a PAIN! ugh...

but all in all the light pattern they produce + the look they give is unmatched, unrivaled for what I paid.

Over all I'm very satisfied.

Ugh... That makes me not want to bother with them at all... Are they sealed properly so that no water gets in them?

If you're really that picky then dont bother with them, I would strongly advise you to get euros instead.

No they dont condensate, only the little edges where the rubber attaches to the corners, so you can't even tell. the headlights are perfect, no condensation at all.

Due to your stubborn pickiness I would STRONGLY urge you to move onto something else.

I just want to be sure what they are like. If I got to see them in real life or decent pictures I would be a little more at ease. Oh, crr, six hours away. And my breaks are super-short. Yay for trimester system
I probably will get the titanium symmic projector styles.. I like the look. If they are shoddy, I can seal them myself after I install my angel eye rings around the projectors
-----------------------
Just bought these eyebrow spoilers:

And these black/red tails:

I dont have enough for the headlights ATM....

Are you going to have someone fill in the seam and paint them so they're smooth with the hood?

No lol. my hood isnt level or even anyway. It got smacked by retread and the whole front of the car got wrecked. My dad and I muscled the hood basically flat so it wouldnt even be worth it to blend them. Besides, I like the angry italian guy look those eyebrows give. My eyebrows are like that

How are the Avant-garde grilles versus the s600 style grill insert? They are both abot the same price and Im not sure which is the better investment. I do know that somehow, the newer grille look makes the car look ALOT nicer. I cant really pick out what does it either, it just looks better.

I think he might be away and mourning his cars loss right now... I would be too... He mentioned c32... I say c43 or c36! that way if it gets wrecked you can buy another w124 and drop that **** riiight in. Then you can go all over the place.
See out here in the burbs, one doesnt have to worry about people so much as deer. ****ing deer...
