You want to give us a review of what you think of the CS lenses?

mad-ass · 11-28-2010, 02:28 PM

I've had my CS lenses since Jan. 2008.
still holding up strong, I wouldn't get anything else.

Thank you sir. I believe I will order a set now.

chris_240sx · 11-28-2010, 03:33 PM

^ I really would like to get a set as well, but the plastic part of the housing behind the lense is broken on mine

FusionR240sx · 11-28-2010, 03:33 PM

They fit great. The install is pretty easy too. The fit on the origin corners isn't great, but part of that probably has to do with me having aftermarket fenders. I just need to spend some time trying to make everything line up better. Here's some better pictures. I have a headlight out..

chris_240sx · 11-28-2010, 03:50 PM

^ How is night driving? I've heard they don't put out light very well since the lense doesn't have anything to spread the light anymore.

Cash · 11-28-2010, 03:57 PM

I don't know. I'm sure they suck at night. It's a track car/weekend car though, so I just got them to look cool. I don't plan on driving it at night.

Freddy · 11-28-2010, 04:14 PM

sorry, what company makes these lenses?

G240 · 11-28-2010, 04:53 PM

Circuit sports.

1on1 · 11-28-2010, 06:36 PM

cash, your car looks great! cant wait for pictures for full TE37s or rpf1s!!!

i plan on ordering CS lenses once i get new housings for my baby!!!

nathanong87 · 11-28-2010, 06:43 PM

i too would like to see ur car on full TEs

edit:
CONCAVE vs LIP
i'm thinking about 17x9.5+12 / 18x10.5+15 TE37s in white. is there a reason why i shouldn't sell my wheels? for TEs?

icedsole · 11-28-2010, 09:57 PM

hey dudes, i need some help. i broke my driver side jdm rain visor today.

im hoping there is some way i can find just the driver side. so i can avoid not having to buy a whole second set.

BUT if i can not find just one soon enough i will be buying another set in a week or 2. so i will be selling a set of visors (drive side broken) its just cracked not bad. still looks how it should just a split in it. i will sell the set mad cheap so get at me if you want them.

holla

if you can, i would keep the vs-kfs on the side but if you cant, it's a phase where you probably just want new wheels. I would probably have the same decision.

whatever you decide, you'll be happy

As much as I like your car VS-KF's, white TE37's are one of my favorites and I think itd look super hot on them. Either way you come out a winner really.

Irresistible · 11-29-2010, 12:13 AM

Anyone got pics of how the light output looks with CS clear lenses on? I have HIDs if that improves the output at all... I want the lenses because of how nice they look, but I'm not too sure if the output is greatly decreased...

mad-ass · 11-29-2010, 12:25 AM

light output is tons better with clear lenses. except hey have crazy glares everywhere. but
i'm running mine with 6000k hids and aimed all the way down and i haven't gotten pulled over or been flashed from opposit direction traffic yet, and had the same setup since jan 2008.

the output of light is not decreased, it's just un-filtered. zenki light reflector housings aren't made to have cut off, the lens cover itself does that. that's the reason for the glares.

venom_5 · 11-29-2010, 09:13 AM

that is the worst cutoff/output i have ever seen in my life ...

my OEM lights have a super sharp cutoff for lens optics style headlights

Simmer down dude... our cars are ~15 years old, the lighting technology has drastically changed.

G240 · 11-29-2010, 09:57 AM

Why would the CS lens suck at night? All you are replacing is the lens cover, the reflector is going to be the same. I would think it would be better as most OEM lens covers are yellowed or faded.

Unless I am missing something.

it's those little flute things on the oem headlights that give it the "oem cutoff"

with clear lenses u are simply scattering light everywhere, hence the glare. the "right" way is to get some tsx projectors or something and retrofit them into the headlights as that will give you a defined cutoff!

^ kinda why i've kept my oem covers... when they are clear they look fine to me. it's when they yellow they look sucky.

projectors have a natural cut-off line inside the projector housing.

as you can see, there's a little groove/plate that will cut off the light.

compared to regular bulbs/hids, they do not have one and are needed for the OEM grooves.

i remember there was a discussion like this, and i read something like when you run clear lenses with HIDs, you are driving around with a W that looks like the Wu-Tang Clan symbol.

illvialuver · 11-29-2010, 11:00 AM

Hey nate, how did you find out you had a cracked gastank??
