Default ANOTHER LED headlight replica....
Has anyone seen these? Looks like an updated version of the crappy ones from before. They do look just a little bit better but still cheap looking lol. Has anyone tried these out? Curious to see how they actually look on the car.

I agree with you on the amber piece and OEM, but would really like to see what these ones look like

Why can't they make one as close to OEM as possible

Looks better than the first version, but the projector should've had a chrome ring around it...looks a bit plain being all black

I prefer the subtle look over the gaudy chrome ring on the alibaba ones. Def looks better than that one, but still not as good as OEM. These lights would be perfect for a led and projector retrofit.

SONAR is the company that manufactures these new lights. I don't know if anyone has any experience with their products.

The chrome ring on the Alibaba is definitely not good, but that's because it's huge. The size of the OEM chrome ring is about right. I think one of the problems with a lot of these aftermarket lights is that the clear lens glass is pretty small compare to OEM.
