Default New pics with whistler style headlights....

I got the headlights off ebay from procarparts or something like that, they are the semi-whistler ones, I like these better than the full blown whistler ones and they are brand new. My stock ones where scuffed/fogged anyways, so tell me what you think............

Ehhh, I've never liked those as compared to the whistlers. They def look better than stock, but I feel the whistlers are the perfect combo of blacking out the interior of the lights. At least light can make it out of these headlights now

I think that was Orangeapeel with the orange halos. I like the semi whistler on your car, It's not overpowering, but it carries the black theme really well.

I think I like these better than the normal Whistlers. The normal ones just look too dark and smoky for me. These still look sharp and clean without going too dark.

Very sharp car.

Anybody have a shot of a true Whistler mod vs these? I'm planning on getting the IPCW lights like these when I have some extra cash. I'm doin the cheap *** projector look now with some GTS Probeam covers I picked up cheap.

I have the same ones (from ProCarparts). Did you have any fitment issues?
I had to make a couple of modifications to elimate the gap, but ultimately
I got them to fit perfect.

Thanks again! I had to do nothing to them, just installed them and adjusted the little screw to move them in and out, they seem to fit great.

I've heard of others that just unbolted the stock bracket and bolted it to the new light so they didn't have fitment issues and didn't have to mess with realigning the lights.

I resemble that remark. Ha ha, and the result was zero gap (even better than the stock fitment):

I think the last thing the car needs to really set it off would be a black scoop fill-in and that would really tie it all together. The car looks great though. I am almost obsessed with Hugger Orange SSs and yours is one of the best I've ever seen.
