Check it out. Looks basically like an east bear kit with a piece of plexi on it. Looks kinda cheap, and puts out 110 watts, not impressive. Personally, if it had the quality of the AbFlug/Flub I'd get it and try to mount junkyard HID projectors to it. Tek.

That's really expensive for something that may or may not be a good product. They have that long disclaimer at the bottom saying that if your car has been modified, in an accident, or whatever, then it's not giong to fit correctly, which is true with mos aftermarket products, but it seems like they are trying to blame improper fitment on you, rather than developing a better product.

Ok wtf, this is a quote from their statement, " When a sealed glass lens is broken it needs to be totally replace and that can range $500 and up per side!! Talk about savings in the long run.." Last time I checked my Silverstars were the most expensive sealed beams I've seen and they cost $19.99 per side. Hmm, I smell BS.

Here is another quote, "Never once has a flush conversion been available for the Nissan 240sx s13, take this ultra rare opportunity to own a set for you car." Oh, ok, then I guess Ab Flugg, Vielside and Eastbear never existed then!

One last thing, what’s with the crappy pictures?! Are you trying to hide your crappy workmanship? Because I don't know about you, but I want to see high quality close up pics during the freaking day with flash on before I spend a cent on these deathtraps. Not a far away during the day pic where you can't see crap. The one at night which might as well be a blob too. Oh and by the way, from what I COULD make out these look like they use driving lights. Is that DOT legal? I don't think so, and using driving lights for headlights is just asking to kill yourself. Hell I have an even better idea! Stick some flashlights in there because that would be uber cool yo, and like flash lights would like be better lighting like then having driving lights from AutoZone and stuff you know yo!

^^ Agree, agree, AGREE.

I Like the idea, but they aren't presenting themselves very well. The net result should be somewhat 300ZX front end, right?

Besides that, there's the concern for proper light output. Better to go with namebrand stuff, this looks to homegrown.

Even the "good" ones like eastbear are essentially crappy foglights in place of your headlights.

Yeah, those are the ab flug ones. They are ok. I still want to do a custom conversion one of these days when I have money. Basically a flush mount cover like pop ups when they are down, that slides back to reveal HID projectors behind a shaped glass.I like the basic idea of having independently moving parts that conform to the flow of the body, and then get exposed to project light. But I don't like the way pop ups look when fully up, so this is my idea for blending two styles. Maybe someone's done it, maybe it's impossible, but I think it would be a nice compromise. Tek.
