Default REVIEW: Ares LED + EVOstyle Headlight Bulbs (56k grab a beer)

First of, big thanks to ARES and EVOstyle, great products.

Quality: Excellent for everything. Both were packed very well, arrived promptly and safely.

Brightness: Similar to stock. ARES Led parking lights are slightly less bright than stock. The EVOstyle turn signal bulbs are the same brightness as stock.

Installation: Took me 1 hour from start to finish. In this time I had to find the right tools (took a while), jack the car up both side, remove fender well, change bulbs, replace everything, and return tools to their proper places.

Satisfaction level:

Sorry the pictures are crappy- taken w/ a camcorder. Better than nothing.


Before:





1/2 way there




After:





And of course, links to the products.
ARES front LED Parking Bulbs

EVOstyle Parking Bulbs



Any questions, just ask...



PS- would a mod please host the pics and change the links accordingly. My angelfire account cant handle much bandwidth. Thanks.

Both look good. I just ordered my second set of White parking lights from Ares and ordered my Evo bulbs about a week ago. No word from them yet though....

I just ordered both sets just like you, havent recieved shipping confirmation on either order yet and ordered them monday. Either way, I like how they look in those pics, I will post some high def pics when I do my install.

BTW: did you get blue or white leds?

I went with the white. The blue would have probably looked better but like Ares said, the blue isnt like Xenon blue but bright crayola. Since Im only 17 I dont want to attract any attention from Cops so white it is.

I did get confirmation from EVo about my lights after emailing them but am a little dissapointed that it took them 1 week to mail them.
