Man these things have become really popular lately!! Look cool as hell but the output leaves much to be desired.

yea these things are all over my instagram feed. i havent seen any output shots of it yet, but im guessing from what i've read, is that the inners work as the low beams, so maybe the output is at best, close to the output of a Mini H1/d2s, still better than Halogens and PnP kits non the less.

I think I'm the only one who dislikes them LS 600 projectors. Too much going on in there for the GS imho.

I actually agree with you, we're definitely in the minority though. To me, the rows of projectors don't flow with the round shape of housing, particularly the top row that doesn't seem to have enough room and ends up sitting way back in the corner of the light.

I think they are interesting but look a little like spider or flies eyes imo. I would be really interested to see the out put and cut off line too

and to answer you questions about how to cap them off, try home depo and get creative, shouldn't be that hard to make something

Yeah... you start to miss having things like Home Depot and Lowes (and whatever other superstore is around) when you no longer live in the States.
