I think they look better with the ribbed part painted black as well.

Why would you buy those to take them apart and paint them? Just take your stock headlights apart and paint those.

I ordered them. UPS tracking shows delivery today. I also ordered clear corners - do I need new bulbs (amber) for the clear corners?

i have them on my old car, great option for those wanting new lenses w/o paying $300+ for OEM pieces and have to paint them. also i didnt like the look of the halos, dont flow w/ the rest of the car imo. so i bought these to replace my scratched stockers that i couldnt get clean. they arent as dark as the whistler modded lights i had on it before, but look a million times better since they are in perfect condition. here are a couple pics, see sig for more pics



whistler headlights from before, pic is darker, but you get the idea. they are darker than the ones above, but the pic doesnt show the foggy-ness of them so well.


each look good, my suggestion is, if you have decent stock lights, then whistler looks great. but for those w/ terrible or are unable to clean up the stockers, these new painted lights are a great choice for the money. they even offer some black background corners that really match up well w/ them. i would have gotten them as well, but i had just got my smoked corners a week before. hope this helps

I totally agree. Painting on the ribbed part on the inside makes it much cleaner and well done look.

I would atleast try to do the whistler mod on my stockers, then if that failed go for these or halos. But if you don't want to put any effort, pick them up, they will look better than stock chromes.

got mine last night. I agree totally with abadss. Halos look weird. Fit and quality on these is very good. They even came with halogen bulbs installed, although I'm going to put my Silverstars in. $125 /pair is hard to beat for the brand new look it gives the front end of the car.

got the clear corners in last night, they came with the needed amber bulbs. what a dramatic difference over the worn headlights and orange corners. looks awesome now and makes the whole front end look showroom new (or better) again.
