I agree. I'm always an advocate of the 'less is more' ideology.

Even with my '06 lights, I always wish they were designed more like the C6 Corvette's headlights.

 

I think they look better than the 03-05 headlights, but I'd have to take the 06+ over them.

 

i think the black ones with the beams next to each are fakkin retarded, but the last pic all blacked out with the similar to oem are deffinately better than 03-05 i would have bought them had i not just got new blacked out version headlights for my car...oh well, i just really wanted a completely blacked out headlight design with no amber strip, but it wasnt around a few months ago except for the 06+ headlights, but seriously a grand for headlights is dumb...id rather buy cams at that price

 

i think aftermarket headlights range from fugly as hell to omg best lights ever...but regardless, they always end up a bad idea because of all the potential problems that can come up such as

wiring problems, stuff melting, shorting
lenses fogging up and turning yellow quickly
not fitting correctly
chrome/colored parts peeling and bubbling
etc etc

 

That's weird, I don't know why a true projector would use D2R. I'm betting a D2S would work just fine in it. There is a very small difference between D2R and D2S. D2R wasn't really necessary for the 03-05 headlamps as they are not reflector headlamps. They are hybrid projector/reflector headlamps, and all the cutoff is handled by the projector.

I've fitted D2S bulbs into my 04 headlamps with no change in beam pattern or cutoff. All you need to do to make D2S fit in D2R socket is cut a little notch out in the base of the bulb. Try to insert a D2R in a D2S socket and you'll see the problem. I used a dremel to cut the notch and the D2S's then worked perfectly in my 04 headlamps.

 

verdicts in...they look like sh*t installed

 

they make d2c bulbs which is used for either housing that needs d2s or d2r. so i would guess u can use a d2s bulb in there if u wanted to

 

I'm in the looks better than 03-05 crowd and they make a decent alternative to $1,000 06+ pair.

 

PS. you can get 06+ for $630 on ebay shipped right now

 

Agree here with the flat black model in this example. Just wish i could see the chrome or smoked out of curiosity, i have a feeling they just might look a good bit better.

 

LOL, i see some of you ****** are buying them, the "sold" numbers have gone up a bit in last 2 days, and i doubt that's random. Post up some pics installed if it was any of you!!

 

ahahah ....... c'mon guys lets see some pics!!!

they look nice... what do you guys think?

 

no.

 

 

 

bro, please.. im taking a moment NOT to flame you.. but seriously, youre making multiple threads everyday on stuff that is ALLL over the forum if you actually searched.. ppl really dont like that man.. im trying to give you a heads up is all.

Please take a sec to realize what that means ....and please use the search so that the NEXT person who DOES use the search doesnt have to sift thru even more threads like this to get to real "Ebay headlight" info..
Its like this:
imagine if you are in a library, and youre looking for a book on the real history of the civil war.. now imagine you have to look thru 15 books to research.. you open them and realize they all had different titles, but they are all the same and have zero info..and you have to look thru like 30 of them to actually find a book w info in it.

THATS why ppl hammer on the use of the search feature, hope that helps man.

 

I searched and found nothing relevant to the question I am asking. Sorry if your butt hurt :/
