If that's your car in your avatar, I'd say go blue and yellow actually. With some gold wheels.

If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get these and how much did they cost? They look like SuperMade buckets...

Yeah how is fitment and the bracket that holds the light to the rad support . cause i bought some that the lights stuck up a little and i had to fiber glass and epoxy them because the holding brackets were plastic.im thinking about going back to pop ups.so please give us a total review .

I was thinking the all blue was best, I would have to trim the holes on the bottom to lower the lights so the tops don't overlap the housing. I found these on ebay but I am unaware of the manufacturer but it's real carbon fiber, not that crappy carbon fiber look. This was the second pair someone sold in Mo, and the auction was almost the same as the first but different seller. Maybe someone in Mo is making them (idk) and there is no bracket for the lights.And there going on my girls black hatch.

Man, on second thought... These look nothing like SuperMade lights.



The probability of failure has now risen dramatically...

Man, I feel bad for a fellow Texan cuz everybody is flaming these lights!

OP, I say install the lights with whatever color your feel and post pics of them online for posterity's sake as future reference material.

But plz don't plan on leaving them on your car, cuz they really do look quite bad...

HEY! Are you still on about this?! I am interseted what you went with! I have the same non popups and well its been since summer since i contemplated on doing it too busy with real work family life BUT... now that I FOUND this thread of yours I am re-interseted :D Since spring is closing in and winter is almost over I want some resolution to this...

What lights are those? What dimensions. Please the details man!

I am also hoping to make mould covers for these things.... still investigating...





Since the lights are not protruding some kind of mold cover could be made as well...





I may enlarge the holes or just use my supermade frp headlights they are essentialy the same crap just one is square opening the other like the one here is circular openings...

Please respond
