New aftermarket black headlights?

Whats the light output gonna be like with a black housing like that?

Kdawg207 · 08-11-2005, 09:51 AM

wow.....nice find

boost21 · 08-11-2005, 09:54 AM

it looks like by the bulb its like a smoked chrome....i personally like them but for 200 ill stick with my headlights .....i agree with kdawg on a nice find

08-11-2005, 09:56 AM

The light output might be significantly less than stock, but I rarely drive my GA at night. It says they're dot approved, but it is ebay so who knows.

Kdawg207 · 08-11-2005, 10:03 AM

if i was keeping my car....i'd try em

mightypan42 · 08-11-2005, 10:12 AM

I'd be more interested if it was just plain housings with the clear corner.

If I still had my GA, of course...

These would look pretty good on a black GA.

BadBlack00Ga · 08-11-2005, 11:15 AM

Can someone photoshop those onto a Black GA?

sicc · 08-11-2005, 11:30 AM

Daaamn those are sicc!!! If only I had the GA I'd get 'em in a second, no more vinyl.

ndprunner22 · 08-11-2005, 11:48 AM

wow those are awesome i think they would look sick on NOTSOAVERAGEJOE's car

Can anyone contact that seller to see if we can get a hold of some of those clear pieces or where they get them? i like vinyl more but i still think we could sell them for money i know a lot of ppl would buy..

1coop44 · 08-11-2005, 12:17 PM

Those look Hot !

Woody87 · 08-11-2005, 12:20 PM

damn, only if my car was a color where those would look good. (ie. black, white, silver) nice find though

Ant · 08-11-2005, 12:35 PM

ITS ABOUT FOCKING TIME.

Now if they can make the housings chrome like stock, with that clear reflector, we'd be in business.

Here's a rough idea

Kdawg207 · 08-11-2005, 12:53 PM

still needs overlays IMO

maybe i need to see more

shadesofnight · 08-11-2005, 12:56 PM

hmph.... I dunno. Its cool that they are actually making them, but I dont think Im interested in anything but projectors. That chop of them just doesnt look all that appealing.

White99GAGT · 08-11-2005, 12:57 PM

Thinking about buying these because my factory ones are in bad condition, the adjusters are broken and so are they rings that hold the bulbs in place. Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere else? Anyone up for doing a chop to a White GT coupe?

hotgt · 08-11-2005, 01:00 PM

wow, those look sick!!

on a black or red GT with overlays...that'd look really mean...I wish I had a GA!

They look ok. I need a new drivers side headlight and I think they would lok pretty good on a white car. But the $45 shipping that's crazy...

Hodge · 08-11-2005, 01:11 PM

god that is ****ing awesome. That would go with my theme unbelievably. is that just 1 pair or are they going to make them????

someone bought em....who was it....fess up

08-11-2005, 01:24 PM

I know, I finally got up the nerve to try them out, and I go to buy them and they're gone. I hope they put up some more of them, I can't find them anywhere else. Who was it?

Just went back in and they had more, so I ordered a set. Ill let everyone know how they look when I get them, and try to post pics if I can figure it out, since I'm a

AznGA · 08-11-2005, 02:53 PM

Looks really good. But if it's gonna decrease the light output, it's not worth for me. I used to have GTS headlight covers, but they weren't helpful at night.

Graxall · 08-11-2005, 03:12 PM

those are rediculously nice, looks like something outta a spaceship

i def wanna see some pics of them on for real, and i /agree with kdawg still needs overlays imo..

magyver · 08-11-2005, 03:22 PM

you guys, cant you see that it is still chrome? its not black chrome, its still chrome! you guys need a few lessons on relfection.. the chrome is just reflecting the black so it of course looks black, its not though, its just a black reflection... you will see just fine, and i bet you wouldnt even notice the differnce..

super hella nice find, and wow, WTF didnt it hit this site first? we shoulda got a sneak preview...

They look really good, but I think on black that clear corner stands out more than the stock amber.

Same here. And for 179.99 a pair, not shipped, your still saving money. A new stock light runs anywhere from 100.00 - 180.00. Also, my car is white right now, any ideas on how it would look?

SectoidBob · 08-11-2005, 04:11 PM

I just bought a set too. . . black looks hot against redfire metalic and they'll go great with my TYC Black tails. . . I'll post pics as soon as they come

notsoaveragej0e · 08-11-2005, 05:25 PM

yeah if these dont degrade light output too much, im totaly getting a set and black vinyling the corners for sure. POST PICS ASAP!!! thanks

I'm right with ya about picking up a set and adding the vinyl on the corners.

Twisted_Reality · 08-11-2005, 06:04 PM

Yeah they do look really really nice I cannot wait till someone posts some pictures of them on there cars.

pyro · 08-11-2005, 06:05 PM

IMO they shouldnt have put the reflectors on the lense again, they should have changed the style and put them on the housing itself. like maybe a small round clear/white looking one. would be cleaner looking.

blake · 08-11-2005, 06:05 PM

i gotta get some of these

pyro · 08-11-2005, 06:08 PM

i bet they dont look that black head on. magyver is right, its just a side shot showing how it reflects black form the sides. i dont think they will look as good in real life. its one pic anyways, they just flipped the second one.

Carmaniac · 08-11-2005, 06:14 PM

nice!!
