You knocking before you try them? They look better than stocks dude...

My GF's 120$ lights turned out great.. W/ halos too.

like I said, my opinion.

other threads about these ebay knock-offs are also heavily favored towards staying stock, especially saving the money and upgrading to the oem 06+ headlights instead. I have already seen some owners trying to get rid of these knock-offs on ebay as well.

I wonder why...

the point is you're looking for more pics, not necessarily asking.

Much better looking than 03-05 and with a quick retrofit these would be pretty decent...

well I do apologize NZMOWND if I took it the wrong way but I never ran across something like that before on here with the threads I read.

this is a thread about headlights, not women. I know the OP posted a pic with his girl, but it was meant to show the headlights.

If you mean off topic discussion, no I don't. I browse through there every so often but nothing really interests me.

I'm here for the Z and that's it. To each his own.

none at night sorry ... but here are some photos I have... Halo's where not the brightest and a bit harder to see during the bright days, but visible on gloomy days. We only spent like 125 new and shipped. If we cared about the halo's I would have dropped 250 on the upgraded led set.

Before and after HIDS looked great.. Notice fitment is not complete in these pictures, but after correct adjustment they fit perfectly..


PLEASE don't knock stuff you have not tried. I got the knock off X02 exhaust and it put down better WHP than the HKS and didn't have a blockage like HKS apologized for. $350>$1300

BTW..
