    If you are looking for "sick" headlights, I guess those are as "sick" as any- IMO LOL:spending:

    Another hater on this forum.... lol


    OP, Those look nice, just make sure they function as well or better than stock. For me, I would think they were sick if they were better than stock but that’s more bulb dependent anyway so I say do it

    Those things suck ass. The output is terrible, beam pattern is terrible.

    Pros...they look "sick." What is not "sick" is when you hit something on the road cause you can't see 30 feet in front of you.

    All stock, baby!
    Welcome to TW. I'm a recent new member myself.

    Rabbit hole? More like black hole... you can go absolutely nuts. I've spent an inordinate amount of time searching and reading message thread after message thread; it's an amazing site and the information you'll find is terrific for the most part.

    I followed the link you posted and they indicate they're out of stock, like with so many parts. Hopefully you can get them before too long if you really like them.

    Like someone said above. The headlights look great but they don’t do a great job of lighting up the road. Plus a lot of people had issues with these tail lights fogging up in a year and water getting inside. Best to avoid

    What these two said. This product may look awesome but the output + quality may take a hit significantly. Do yourself a favor and save up a little more money to spend on quality aftermarket headlights. I'm not a light guru but bought a set of retrofit HID lights from kustom54lighting and do not regret it one bit. I didn't add any other fancy features such as color changing halos because I suck at wiring so just basic headlights and wiring was easy. Light output is great with great cutoff so you don't blind oncoming traffic and the folks driving in front of you. 3+ years with no fogging or light output issues for me.

    If you’re a real yooper from the UP you should spray your frame and make sure to avoid major rust. They get salty asf up there bud
