Final Thread: Those ebay projector lights *INSTALLED* pics galore

Hopefully this should be th elast thread about these headlights. I took the liberty to be the buinea pig and bought these lights since there was so much speculation and comments about them even thought nobody seen them or tried them. I was gonna post a long review but I figured nobody here would read it; they just wanna see the pictures. So instead, I'll just mention key points about them and summarize.

NOTE: This thread is about these headlights ONLY. Please, NO comments about my FMIC! I've already heard enough about it.

Now, onto the gallery...

Here are the lights when they arrived. I chose the chrome housing over the black because I feel they would look more OEM (the black housing do look 'weird', I will admit)





Here is the new and the old side by side



Installation shots



Use your factory ballast for HIDs



Autoleveling motor


One side installed



Closeup of halo rings. Theyre similar to AAC but are enclosed in a glass outer ring.



Now for some lighting








Now for some Q & A:

Q: Does autoleveling work?
A: Yes, There is a spot to fit the motor in. Once installed, the sutoleveling needs to be readjusted.

Q: Are there instructions?
A: Yes, ut the original text is Japanese translated to English so the translation is off. Installation was very easy.

Q: Do I have to assemble anything?
A: No, everything is preasembled and prewired. Even the HID bulbs are included and installed.

Q: What type of HIDs are they?
A: 6000k. Our stock are 4300k. There's a deep bright white with a hint of blue.

Some people might like these. Others won't. But now at least we know how they finally look like on an actual IS. Now you can post your good and ad comments and if you have any questions, feel free to ask or send me a message.

first off, +rep for doing this!

how is the fitment on the actual car? it's hard to see but are there any gaps? also what do all those 3 little lights do in the bottom? finally does the projector help the light output?

those do look good surprisingly, and you needed some new headlights. btw your FMIC is crooked . had to


good chose on the chrome because the black ones they do sell look cheaper, custom paint would be the better way to go. what about the 3 LEDs?

The lights honestly don't look that bad. They looked really ricey on ebay. I think because the housing is chrome... the various "trinkets" they added blend in. In the ebay version... because the housing was black... they really stood out and made the lights look crappy.

Btw... weren't the housings supposed to be black?

Nice job with the photos and instructions but I'm still not a fan of the housings themselves.

actually not too bad. I think black housings would be a lot better though. Hopefully someone tries out some black ones.

Great work, I cant give you enough rep for this (no really I can't )

They look pretty good, a lot better than they do on ebay. So are you gonna keep them on or what?

Not bad, i also thought they would look horrible.

I would get them if they didnt have the little leds and halos.

Gotta admit they look very clean compared to stock.

Good $h!t dude.

Can you get a pic with the turn signals on?
What are the three little things under the headlights? Do they light up at all?
