ive sent messages to every ebay seeler with those OEM black housing headlights and none of them reply..bastards

i think the black projectors wont look bad at all

I was planning on ordering the black oem ones next week but I want my HID and auto leveling. And I cant get a response from these places either, I was going off of what Jemini said about the projectors. Damn Altezza non HID or auto leveling having headlights!!

What a generalization.
You can call me a "hater" on these headlights and if they were $1000, itd give me more reason to hate.
Arent AAC's and the JDM heads expensive?
Im not even sure on the price of those but regardless, i dont like either of those and just cuz theyre pricey doesnt make em look better.
OEM heads FTW! Every other headlight IMO is ugly.

And these headlights just look cheap overall.

and you are.......???

First, why the "they look cheap" comments? I can see that about the halo projector lights maybe, but the oem black ones look identical to the......well.....oem ones. How about that?

Really. Think about it. Its not like Lexus sends a team high above the highest peaks of the world searching for only the finest materials in which to craft their one of a kind headlights. I am sure there are only a few places period where this stuff is made, and that these headlights (the oem black ones, not projectors) are probably made with the same plastics off of the same dyes. Its not rocket science.

So enough of the "stick with the oem" dumbass statements. I have news for you, I have oem ones right now that are cloudy and rock chipped. So the oem ones that I have look worse than these. Wow...what a concept!

And to everyone questioning the light output and whatnot, do you even know what you guys are talking about anyway? Do you guys have special meters that you hook up to measure light output and record these findings in some academic journal you write for comparing various lights patterns of various headlights found on ebay? No. No is the correct answer.

I am confident that the light output from the oem ones vs. these or other ebay headlights will be close enough to ensure complete visablity to/from the video game store or walmart parking lot or wherever you guys seem to congragate on Saturday nights. Its fine. Relax. You guys will be ok.

^^ Agreed. Give it enough time and even OEM headlights will turn yellow and cloudy.

I was stating my opinion on this and thats it. Im a regular human just like everyone else on here.


Like i stated above, what OKCIS said previously was a generalized statement.
A regular fanboy would be all over those if they were deemed "JDM" "RARE" or made by some hyped up company and/or priced high.
But not all haters would be nut swinging on these.. one such being myself.


ANFRO, im not saying any other headlights besides the one that came with your car will look bad.
You might like these or AAC or the Depos.. whatever.
I was just saying, IN MY OPINION, any other headlight style besides the OEM style looks bad.
The blackhoused DEPO ebay ones are not bad because they are OEM style.
You dont have to agree, thats fine. Thats why i said IMO.

you know what...fuck it its not even worth continuing this conversation with you...your a young ignorant shit head

haha, awww... I hurt the meathead's feelings, and he insulted my car. That totally ruins my day. haha

Why dont you go say goodbye to your butt buddies on here so that you can fight for a country that just uses your stupidity to make the rich minority even richer.

Why don't you read the thread, so that you can understand what my comment was referring to, and then get back to me.

And yes, these lights still look like shit, even if they were made of diamonds that came from the center of the earth. Fugly is fugly regardless of cost.

Hey idiot...in any other country your ass would be stoned to death while burried from the chin down for voicing your military given right of free speech. Show a little more respect. I don't know if you realize not only are the poor getting poorer but the rich are losing a shit load of money too...it's called a recession. The only people that are getting rich off this war are the Arab nations who are controlling oil prices. So shut your fucking mouth or get out of my country.
