Wondering if anyone has these for has any info on who makes them/quality of them

aftermarket is finally catching on

[mike@x-ph.com]

Never tried it but it looks good

[TaylorS]

I'm interested.

[pohlease]

Looks good. Good find.

[reallazymofo]

Dam, finally aftermarket is comming alive!! Price is cheap compared to other options currently too!

[ABE2(aw/sw)]

Im interested.

[KGB_123_99]

Looks great and very OEM-like. If I didn't have Xenons I would snatch these in a second!

I messaged them yesterday and got a response from them. They build it for Australian Spec F30's (Non-Xenon's) and said it should work for NA and possibly the rest of the world too. All plug and play and no error codes.

I'm thinking of ordering them. Shipping seems very expensive at $200

[ji99lypuff]

I think they look pretty good as well except for the fact that it seems like the low beams turn on the inside? or is that just really bright drls that come on with the led angel eyes. It would look much better if the low beam turned on using the outer projectors and not the inner ones like in the picture.

I can tell you MARS makes excellent quality products.

[Dippydo]

At first I was impressed then looking at the shape of the outer lenses they don't seem to match the lines of the factory cases so I am wondering how that how look in person. Or perhaps it is a bad picture angle? Also not to gung-ho on the double column of LEDs which looks nothing like the factory. But I do like the fact that you just take out your whole housing assembly and put these in. You don't have to crack the OEMs open which is a plus. Tough call.

[Fabre80]

I also emailed them am truly interested in these myself.

[carzaddict]

at $800 USD its the cheapest option. although i dont know how i feel about how it looks. i would prefer the main beam to be on the outside

[VMRWheels]

Hmm these look pretty awesome

[slmdgee]

damm

[DXL XLR8]

Damn not digging the half halo, but love the concept of a full housing! Need more after markets!!!

[F30EDR]

I think this is the best aftermarket solution thus far, both looks and cost. The fact that you don't have to crack open your headlamps is a major thing. Nothing says "Cheap" more than a fogged up lamp. For me, this is the best option, next to OEM Xenons since this will not be adaptive

[Alvaro S]

I think it's too "Volkswagen"

You are correct. The non-contiguous light screams aftermarket. But this is way better than the SMD LEDs offered by other vendors. Considering you'd have to crack open your lamps and it costs the same, if not more, these are not bad alternative at all.

Black housing looks cool. Half halo looks kind of cheap and the inside Xenon looks REALLY cheap.

[vithy]

It seems like Inner projectors are DRL/Parking, they use LED's inside this projector. The outer projector is both high/low beam (Dual beam projector).

Just spoke to these guys on the phone. Apparently you got to mention if it's a left hand or right hand drive car, as the beam pattern varies depending on the region. These lights have built in auto levelling function it seems. No coding required and beam pattern can be adjusted if needed.

I'm might pull the trigger and order this...
