They look good. Much better than I would have expected.

Any night time pictures? How do they work? Color temperature?

Color is close to 4300k i believe (white with a very light tint of blue). I have a quick photo of in a dark(er) parking structure but I'm super busy during the weekdays to get a night time shot.

I almost bought a set, but they aren’t plug and play w HID units yet so going to have to wait for his HID sets.

DutchNy, why would you need them to be compatible with HID since they are full LED?

Why are the lenses flat? Won’t this affect aero? (And not necessarily for the better. For example the more upright 964 has better aero)

What’s the functionality like? Do high beams and the height adjustment still work?

I recently installed the morimotos which were horrendously low quality garbage so thinking of replacing them with this. I am RHD though

SHRMN8TR - It looks like your lights have fluted lenses with chrome reflectors and shrouds with satin black trim rings. Is this correct?

Hey SpeedyC2, my are NOT fluted, they are the "base" modem with chrome (there's an option for blacked out reflector) and satin black trim ring.

I snapped these quickly late afternoon on Sunday in a covered parking structured. I don't have a before/after with the OEM Halogen lights unfortunately.

The pictures of the various options here are helpful, thank you. It would be very informative to see pictures of the light pattern and the comparative brightness of these lights to OE.

It would be nice if the website showed pictures of more of the options. I see the site does provide the following technical information: 60 Watts, 6400 Lumen, 5500K Temp/Color.

Cool they make the car look very 959ish. Glad to see new lighting options offered!
