Why aren't the CCFL's popular here?
 
To me they look easily better than the stock SC lights, which are obviously solid in their own right.

I don't think they're overly ricey either. I ordered mine and they should be here in a couple days.

My list of sub 300 dollar mods that I can do is growing short. Soon time to save for an engine or something else.

It's all good. Some dummies here think that horrible lame ass SC with the stickers all over it and the purple wheels is "clean".

I like personally both the halo lights and the audi style LED strips. I think they both add a slight bit of fashion to an area that was overlooked for a long time.

Nothing looks good on SC when it comes to CCFLs, SC headlight is an awkward shape for halos.

Looks really good on IS300 though.

CCFLs or halos look good in twos...not one.

That's my thoughts. They look similar, but the halo is awesome IMO. And I like it in singles more than doubles personally.

I love them! I'd put them on my SC if I knew how, but I need to see pics of how it would look first. I don't want to stick them on and it makes the car look ricey...

I'm worried about that, but the few grainy shots I saw of them convinced me they wouldn't be terrible.

I have a set coming for my maxima. They would look wrong on an sc.

I will replace the O-Ring on the Power Steering reservoir this week, and finish up on the e-brake adjustment and get this thing on the road.
I stopped by and saw my headlights today...They are completed. They look Badass. I am quite pleased with them. The goal was to make a light that looked OEM, incorporated high quality HID, and still remainered OEM compliant...I managed to do so. Lety me know your thoughts...I will take better quality pics later, and soon some pics with them on the car. But not before the reveal.

im not a fan of a single halo, unless there is a second halo where the running light is like in SC400TTs headlights it look really cool

the ones on ebay just have too much going on, i love halos but the ebay ones

You crazy. Stickers and purple wheels is not clean. That **** is horrible. The kind of thing people do when they take car fashion WAY too far.
