There's a couple of pics of my car in my sig. I want one of these 2 headlights .... but can't really decide. I'm thinkin' I like #2 a little better, though. What do you guys think?



#1 ...... Smoked Clears

Hmmm, yeah. Definately #2 on your car man. Not trying to hijack, but... Has anyone who has used either of these two types of lenses noticed a good increase in light hitting the road? My factory lenses suck -- they are all yellowed and the bulbs are just some cheap crap. I was thinking about going with something like #1 and some good Silverstars.

d00d, you're gonna be amazed!! the difference is almost 1000 x's better than the stock yellow, blurred lenses. you will not regreat the upgrade.

i got my projectors off symmic on ebay for $125 shipped, and i'm pretty sure he has smoked clears/cobras. i was surprised with the quality--i've had them for close to two months and they havn't leaked/fogged up at all! they're glass lenses and DOT approved, plug-n-play. i would've also gotten some silverstars but they came with new bulbs so why waste a new pair, right? gonna get some silverstars in a couple months.

Where are the cobras for sale at?
Might pick up a pair for myself...you know my vote. :)
 
I just got the #2's as a Christmas gift. That's the ones I liked originally .... plus the majority of votes have gone to these. So that's what I'll have.


Synned, both of these are available from UPR.

BTW, UPR's online ordering kinda sucked, IMO. They never sent confirmation emails or tracking #'s. All they had was an invoice with an order # that I had to print off. How well have they served you guys?
 
Yeah Jeremy, you're right. The #2's have black housings .... and #1's are smoked. I still liked the #2's better, though.

Worst case scenario, if I install them & think they need to be darker .... I can just apply some of that VHT Nite Shades. Can you buy the Cobra's anywhere that have smoked lenses?

I got news for ya, put that VHT Nite Shades spray on those headlights that have the chrome inside and it will look purple. Ask me how i know:p
