Default Flat 6 Illumination LED Headlight

Anyone buy the LED headlight from Flat 6 Illumination? They have an ad in the Marketplace? He has several pics posted but I'm wondering how they look in person?

The pics are terrible you can't really get a good look or feel for how they look on the car, he definitely needs to take better pics, I had a 964 with those on and it looked like a cross eyed bug..i've heard adding fluted lenses helps with the look.

What type of photos are you looking for?

@Tarek307 , can you tell me what's the best way to capture a photo and I can see if they're crossed eyed? From my initial install (i have NOT leveled them yet, just running out of time), they seemed pretty straight.

see, thats a GREAT PIC, and truly shows what they look like. Much better than his edited pics and too upclose pics he has where you can't tell what they look like on the car- Can you please post more pics and tell us what you think of the lights? from your pic they look great- did you add fluted lenses?

Hehe I suck at photography so I don't use filters to hide my crappy skills. I just accept I can't take good photos. ya, I have a bunch I took when I installed. These are the non-fluted version. Just your basic LED headlights. The easiest plug'n'play I could get. No extra wiring or thought process, literally the easiest thing I've done on this car.

I ordered a fluted set for my car. Will post photos and a review when they arrive, which is 3-4 weeks. I'm excited.

Ya happy to share. Just can't upload for some reason, giving me a blank alert/error? Let me see what I can do?

Stupid Apple... figured it out on my end. They may be big but here's them installed, straight on. Driver and Passenger. Then at the bottom, I have High Beam ON driver and passenger. I'm pulling more photos off my phone now.

Oh full disclosure. There's a crack on my passenger side trim. Flat6 was made aware and is sending me a replacement trimming. He did offer to take back the full unit too and replace, but I was too excited and said "send me the trim, i like them too much to uninstall and ship back".

Will get some side profile pics shortly so you can see how they sit from the side (as in I have the photos, just grabbing them off my phone after dinner).

TLDR Review: Simple, easy to install. Haven't leveled yet but instructions are there, it's a screw you turn up and down and the headlights move with it. Will try and get some night shots in a bit.

P.S. My car is a 1995 993 with Halogen headlights (I can get the OEM photos later too. I was trying to do a side by side but again, i'm just getting lazy lol).

excuse the messy frunk. The previous owner... body is great, mechanically I had to do a lot of work but the stereo is, so FUBRA i don't even want to talk about it but a lot of that stuff is to just keep things clean and slowly work on the small stuff.

Ya, waiting for night time, will try and get some night time shots soon.
