they look nice, but for $75 and something coming off ebay i dont know what to expect. i think you are just paying for 4 piaa "style" foglamps that you will have do all the measurement and custom installation work yourself.

i think FR is right, looks like you're just getting 4 crappy fog lights to figure out how to mount on your own. "no modification needed" and "i put the headlights halfway up to look better for the picture" kinda pushes it in that direction.

so what's so CHEAP about the SR swap again?

junk, thats a very poor imatation of what clear corners does and clear corners puts a lot of work into and you get a sleepy eye set for the projectors from clear corners . Clear Corners may not be cheap but its damn good quality.

this kit comes with two new super white headlight lamps (left and right) ready to be installed.

just replace your stock headlamp with these new custom projector look headlamps.

What an asswipe.

Yeah the pictures are real small and poor quality so you cant see the vinyl clearly , but i saw another auction on ebay some time ago with same pics but larger and you could tell they were fakes , i hate people who sell things liek this on ebay , they should have chopsticks shoved up there nose (from the movie Brother) .

is he ID verified? call him and ask him on the phone, they tend to get really nervous when you do that.

you email mike and tell him what you want I bet he could put it together and ship it you. maybe not on these I could be wrong . Though I do know he does ship a lot of his conversions for other cars . Does not hurt to ask if you really want the setup.

Nope. They only do in-house so the projectors can be properly aimed and all that...

cutting, wiring, aligning, fitting, all stuff that i refuse to sell as a kit. the product is sold INSTALLED at that price, which many people seem to forget. Dont look at a body kit's cost, look at how much it will cost to be properly INSTALLED. the same applies to this headlight conversion, never look at how much something costs in parts.. look at how much it costs to have it properly INSTALLED.

so.. i basically dont sell it as a kit due to strict legalities with forward facing lighting and how installation must be properly done.
