OEM or NO-EM! Aftermarket headlights are sketchy when it comes to light output… ---

I cannot wait to rip out my projector headlights. Mine were from ebay like 6 years ago, but they sucked then too. As far as light output, there is a loss if anything over stock. And the aiming mech was all but useless. ---

This is really what I want to do but all the parts from down under are so expensive… Cost about $6,000 for this conversion includes the fenders also. I’m not a huge fan of the fenders but I love the front bumper. ---

LED’s eye liner are the modern underglows. Even if high end luxury cars have them stock they look border line tacky. Retrofitting them on anything else - definitely tacky. Especially considering Hyundai is starting to use them. ---
