    Look okay but kinda pricey IMO compared to other similar LED lights.

    If those projectors are worth a shit then the price won't be too bad compared to what a set of retrofits will cost. I guess we'll see soon!! :)

    I have my fingers crossed for you man. I'm really hoping these aren't garbage. I am on the fence of retrofitting but this would be so much easier.

    One concern is how you would control the DRL bars on these. I wouldn't want to have my parking lights on all the time.

    Like what? They are cheaper than the (IMHO ugly) Anzo "U" bars, those are $460 or so...

    Who did you end up purchasing from. I have seen two different companies selling but vipmotoz far and away better rep at least as far as very few negative reviews. Was planning on calling them to see if warranty was longer than 60 day money back they offer. Hoping to see some pics here before the first of the month when I purchase a pair.

    You can do retros yourself cheaper than that, or for about 200 more you can have them done and there almost guaranteed to be much better quality than those. But do report, interested.

    I have purchased products from VIP motors on ebay. They're just a vendor so they don't actually make the lights. Ive always been happy with them, Shipping is very quick. And the products are well packaged. Plus they give free shipping.
    I'm not sure how there customer service is though, because I've never had to use it before :p

    I know this is almost a year old but is there an update on this? Did anyone ever actually purchase the headlights. Pretty sweet looking lights

    I have the spyder version of these projector headlights, and so far have no complaints! Cut off is FANTASTIC, the bulbs that were included are also very bright, no moisture buildup, and they look great. Just be sure to pre-thread the installation screws that go through the side tab. The metal retainer is quite small and will break the plastic tab if you dont pre-thread the screw.
