I'm might pull the trigger and order this...
Let us know if you do! I think many of us would love for someone from NA to try this out. Great price, though I'm torn on the half halo look as others but I'd be really interested if it's an easy plug and play.

Guys this one looks awesome and that is what i was waiting for. I dont like my halogen and this solution is superb.

But I dont understand how to built it in? The whole headlight has to be replaced or only half of it?

EDIT: Ok i read that the whole lamp has to be replaced. But I heard to remove the headlight is a pain in the ass. Its very difficult according to the xenon retrofit thread.

You need to remove the front bumper to install the lights.



watch this video. But not as intensive as the video. Just the bumper out to remove the lights

Ok thanks but i meant the most difficult part is to remove the headlights. I was reading the DIY of the xenon retrofit.

That is my fear.

FYI

I wrote to the company and about working for US cars this is the reply


Hi,

Yes they will fit and no coding is necessary.

Though we have RHD here in Australia, and you require LHD in the States,

We can send them directly from our manufacturer for you, but an additional week (upon making an order) is required to prepare them.

Kind regards,
Thanks for visiting Mars Performance Pty Ltd

Headlight removal goes like this.
1. Remove many bolts to remove front bumper.
2. Remove 5 bolts to remove headlight.

It's not hard.

Seems like everyone is trying to be on the group buy but no one is really taking action on it. I emailed them about it about a week ago and no response to date.

I would call them. I emailed them and didn't get a response back. I called them and asked everything I needed to know.

- H7 bulbs for outer and inner projectors
- Inner projectors are LED based. They work as DRL with the LED rigs.
- When low beam (outer projector) kicks in the LED rings dim down.
- Outer Projectors (Dual Beam) are controlled by Solenoid for high and low beam
- Can be upgraded to xenon's later after the fact.
- 1 year warranty
- After ordering inform them that it's for US/Canada for LHD version of the lights as beam patterns are different in North america.
- Auto Leveling built in.
- Beam pattern can be adjusted if needed.

If you guys are interested and want me to talk to them. Let me know. I want to get this in soon as possible.

Yes, it's for the cars with halogen lights. Plug and Play according to them.
