Get in line. Fitment isn't as good as OEM, but that's to be expected. It's good enough though.

Really horrible at taking night shots, but here's what I was able to get.

About 15 feet away.

On an incline.


Mine's a '91. Shouldn't be too hard to convert to H4/9003...think there might even be a thread on it somewhere in the LS forum.
still, the cutoff is amazing with that retro

VERY NICE. Is that a gap or a shadow on the left side head light? Just want to be sure, because I heard the Eagle Eyes had some fitment problems.

Also, how much $ are use DIYers looking at for this retro? How much more $ if we had your bud do it, and how long does he take?

Just curious.

That's probably a gap because I didn't bolt down the entire headlight at the time. Fitment isn't perfect like OEM, but it's decent enough for aftermarket.

The cost can be broken down as follows:
$130 for modded AFS RX330 projectors with E30 clear lens (off hidplanet), $275 for Eagle Eyes (bought them when they were first released ), and $200 for retrofitting labor. Turn around time is 1-2 weeks depending on how busy he is with school/work.
