    Nice to see an aftermarket option! But all the China spyder style lights have the same squared off tube glow brake bar.. which, IMO does not fit the shape of this 3rd gen housing at all. Where is the turn signal?(I think they are the little square LED's on the inside). Great for people who want PNP. But I'd take an OEM before this.
    What "other colors" OP? Going off other models, probably have an all clear model?

    Looking forward to the smoked lens version.

    These lights are merely an option for people that are looking around for something different

    Ok the smoked ones give me a boner.

    Honest feedback: If you would have stuck with the "bar" shape in the factory ones, you would have nailed it for me. Not saying these don't look great - they do, especially the smoked. Definitely looking forward to what the headlights look like as well.

    That's the only thing that's got me hesitating, that curve in the LED bar is awfully Fordish.

    Some people bitch to bitch like little whiny children. Personally these are not my style but I'm happy various aftermarket items are finally reaching consumers. I can't wait to see the pending items.



    ^^^ The black/smoke link is the same link as gloss black/clear.

    I think they are BA!
    I don't mind the ford style, but that's what's holding me back from buying them.
    Can't wait to see what else you come up with tho!
