Finished product. Fitment is on point. No codes or errors. Currently using Philips h7 crystal vision ultra. Switching to HIDs soon. You guys might need to align your headlights out the box.

Looks great! Nicely done. I just ordered these headlights and can't wait to install / get them installed.

One thing I noticed is the gap between your hood and bumper is a little bigger on the passenger side than on the driver side. I'm guessing that's relatively easy to adjust though.

Oh the gap was because of the hood stopper under the hood. I forgot to adjust it, it's fixed now lol. Good eye though!

Thanks for the write up and photos. Nice touch too that LED bar under the eyebrow. Wasn't sure if that was going to work as well. I'll post info after I install my headlights from MB National in the other thread.

I emailed them a while back regarding this and unfortunately it doesn't come in RHD form.

"The F30/F31 headlight from DEPO that we carry is only available in LHD, not RHD setup. The manufacturer does not offer RHD on this item."

That's really depressing. Really stupid that they don't make a version for our country. I can't find a decent headlight setup for this car anywhere. Thanks for letting me know anyway buddy

These look fantastic! Just ordered a set using the group buy code. Timing couldn't be better as one of my crappy Eagle Eyes malfunctioned 1 month out of warranty. Happy to replace them with these.

Hi Efthirty, I was wondering if the turn signals appear to be amber only because of the light bulb, or is there amber tints on the headlight housing itself? I'd prefer that the amber shade disappear after installing some LED light bulbs

I know the angel eyes are highly desirable but am curious if the nighttime lighting is significantly improved. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There are amber tints in the headlight housing, the bulb itself is amber also. Going to replace the stock ones with these http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Error-Free-Amber-7507-LED-Bulbs-p/20-048.htm

Nighttime lighting definitely improved. Cut offs are sharper and the lights are wider even with Philips h7 bulbs. Going to install HIDs 5500k to match the corona rings. You're going to need to align your aims when you get your headlight.
