I just ordered mine from Ebay. total cost was 169.00 I live in san diego and the item is in LA area. So i hope i get it before the weekend. It was the Headlights or DS Lite...... i think i made the right choice.

You will be pleased. You'll play DS for only so long.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

AFTER WASHING MY CAR TODAY I GOT MOISTURE IN MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT, NO ACTUAL WATER, JUST "CLOUDS" FROM THE MOISTURE AROUND IT. IT DID NOT GET INTO THE PROJECTOR, JUST THE OUTER HOUSING. AFTER A MINUTE WITH A HEAT GUN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT, I WILL BE CONTACTING THE COMPANY TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THE DEAL IS. I WILL MOST LIKELY BE BUYING LIQUID SILICONE TO LOCK THESE THINGS UP. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

i figured the lights would have the moisture problem .. most all of the aftermarket lights do ... some silicon around the housing edge where the clear meets the plastic normally takes care of that ... might not hurt to make sure the factory drain tubes are in place as well if your car had them (i know 1st gens do not sure on 2nd never had the lamp out) ...

i am waiting for tha tperson to get back on ebay with some sets .. the others that are on athere are kinda iffy with their info ... and do not specify if it comes with bulbs or not.

lil06 atleast you haven't had the problem, maybe I got a dud. :tardbang:
and i use a pentax optio 750z. it's about 2 years old, a great mid-level digital camera. Not to basic, but not advanced, and is the only point & shoot to have an integrated light meter in it.. I'm getting a new camera next week but will definitely be keeping this one, I love it.

and blaze thanks i can't wait to see what the surprise is! :D

Yeah he got into a deal with ebay and got shut down for a week, under his auctions it says he is suppost to be back tomorrow, he had the best feedback so I purchased from him. We'll see what happens.

Really? Mine work fine, all the light gets thrown into the center area in kind of circle forms. I don't really find myself needing to use the high beams though, the low-beams are bright enough. :D

Glasswars, your lights are aimed WAY too high.


Take my advice for aiming in my other post, it will actually put even more light on the road, as projectors' intensity is closer to the center.

Please aim them down and take some more pics.

anyone know who actually created these? what company? You see several people selling them now but I was wondering who the originator was.

EDIT: Just searched their site, perhaps not.

It is just a cheap mod that people can do and get better performance in lighting. That is all. Give it time....people will start finding ways to mod these and make them better. Someone always finds a way to improve something.
