After waiting so anxiously for my new headlights to get here, they finally came and I went right to it with installing them. My car is rio red and the smoked one piece projectors matched great, for the 3 minutes they were on the car. I only ended up putting in the drivers side. After countless tries of getting it fit, one of the alignment studs snapped right off with no effort at all. I said screw it and put it in anyways to see if they would work. First of all, the fitment is horrible. They point down and theres enough gap on the corner part that I could almost fit my whole hand through. These are almost impossible to adjust since its all one piece. One stud matched up to the hole perfectly but the other 2 (or 1 since the other broke) were off by almost a quarter inch. I boxed em back up and they're on their way back to California now. Looks like im gonna go the better route and get the 2 piece smoked cobras. nuff said

The lights I got. They look great but definitely dont fit.

Yeah I bought these headlights as well and installed them. Fitment is HORRIBLE. Once you get them in the gap in between the fender and headlight is huge. Once you wrestle the son of a b*tchs in and turn them on they are pointed at the ground. The only reason I have not shipped these headlights back is because this is my daily driver and my other headlights are busted. The only thing I can say these headlights have going for them is that they look good. OUTSTANDING

Nope, as far as I know JDM is the only company that makes them.
