jnkhan82 · 08-01-2011, 10:22 AM

Anyone hear anything good or bad about these headlights? They look purty sweet.

Also, it states it works for 03-08...

I thought the wiring was different after 05'?

Looks cool. Don't know about the quality...

ANUSTART · 08-01-2011, 10:52 AM

Maybe it's just me, but the photos make them look kind of cheap. Don't like the blinker configuration either. I guess I'm just a fan of the stock lights.

Projectors create a more focused beam of light on the road for greateer [sic] visibility

StigJ · 08-01-2011, 11:33 AM

My feedback is that they look cheap and butt ugly...

CFoote · 08-01-2011, 12:04 PM

Someone was going to try these a few months back but we never heard anything.

I think the chrome interiors are a little tacky, but I believe they sell a version with the black housings as well which would look a lot better.

Give 'em a shot and see what they are all about...they are halogen housings, not Xenon.

A few overseas peeps used them with no complaints. I would NOT go for chrome though, they look cheap and scream ebay. the black ones....

jnkhan82 · 08-01-2011, 12:24 PM

I agree on the black ones. My passenger side light henge has broke, so I was going to replace it.

Do you think these lights will work for an 03'?

The link you posted is the chrome version with the dark tinted lens, there is a black housing version that looks better.

They work on all 03-08 halogen version and you can convert them to HID with aftermarket kits.

is a joke (find ROS by your own search!)

zubydafa · 08-01-2011, 10:36 PM

led strip FTL.

this is what i'd be going for. i'd spend $500 for this...very quality imo.

BU Z4 · 08-01-2011, 10:40 PM

I'd rather spend 4-500 more and get the real brand NEW OEM and not the ones with ghetto stitches and silicone adhesive all around it!

the oem angel eyes are weak

BU Z4 · 08-01-2011, 11:04 PM

and those fake angel eyes looking very cheap when turned ON, unless someone plans to be Fast & furious style or do not wire them at all

Lets stay on the OP's topic

zubydafa · 08-01-2011, 11:07 PM

you're calling the tekcarbon setup cheap?

KevinC · 08-01-2011, 11:40 PM

Chinese Ebay headlights, no doubt not DOT-legal? Leave them to the Honda Civic kiddies. Your headlights are your safety, as well as others on the road. Go OEM or stay stock. Avoid the Ebay crap like the plague.

Repost...two threads on here about it. On the UK Z4 Forum Someone has done them.
