Hey Jixxer:
The black ones look best, IMO.

Do you have Halogen, HID or HID with AFS?

I have plain jain halogens so I am definitely upgrading my look. Plus I am not losing anything feature-wise. My headlights are beat to **** and very faded. I have a bunch of little upgrades I am preparing to do so I will be posting progress pics as I get em done.

What colour is your RX? I Would love to see pics of the new lights installed,


I will probably be buying the black set soon too for my black RX, I think they will look Awesome, might need to transfer my AFS / auto levelling HID stuff tho which might take me a while,

I have the dark charcoal colored RX. I just put a black grill on and black wheels. I will post pics once I have an opportunity to clean up the car a bit. Still waiting on the headlights. Once that is done I will post final pics.

PS: I told myself I wasn't going to touch this car because it is my everyday driver. I guess I will never learn!

We always say that. I said minimal mods for the family daily driver, but here I am about to receive my front lip for the car and blacken out the headlights. It's in the blood, it can only be ignored for so long. Eventually the bug will always get you. It always starts with something small........ and then......

22's, right? Looks good with the charcoal grey. I've seen that grille online before, but i haven't seen any pictures of it installed. Looks better than I thought it would.

The new black headlights will really make a huge difference!

New headlights just arrived. They appear to be very good quality. I am excited to put them on. I love having a project for the car! Pictures soon to be posted.

These type of headlight bee on a market for a while. And there is a chrome version of the headlights



Imho it's too expensive for a set of chinese headlight, but would be interesting to use the housing for a retrofit project.

Install Update:

So I came home from work early to put on the headlights. Taking out the headlights was easy (about 10-15 mins). I wired up the new ones and put it in the car (temporarily) to check out the look and make sure the wiring was correct. Looked great BUT 3 of the led's were not working. I took it out and plugged in the other one to make sure I wasnt missing something and it worked great! Led's looked awesome.

So, I called up the seller and he immediately emailed me a return label to ship it back and he said he will ship out the replacement one tomorrow. Great customer service. These things happen and I am glad it will be an easy swap when I get it back.

I am now more anxious because I already saw what it looked like and well worth every penny and the wait. I estimate that I should be able to install both headlights when I get the replacement one within an hour (it is that easy).

I will keep everyone updated!
