That's the same as what I ordered! I'm glad it looks so good in person as it does in my imagination

If you go that route or any colour for that matter and have the Xenon's as this car does, I would spend the additional $215 to have the headlight washer painted the same colour as the car...IMHO it sticks out like a sore thumb otherwise...

You know what you probably could...and while I'm at it I'll remove the water lines and all that goes with it (pumps, etc...) and save some weight!!

Otherwise those little chrome nubs look like ****!!

Perfect color! I wonder if you could order a headlight washer delete. Those things are worthless unless your going offroad!

i may get non xenon. i think i have only driven my p car for all about 10 day with headlights on in last 5-6 years. when i go out at night i am in some other boring cars.

you cannot have xenon without nipples. i was told (not sure ture) is that if you get dirt, dust etc on the lens of light, the strong xenons may get refracted in such a way that blinds the opposing drive blah bhah. so US gov't feel that spraying some water on the lens may dislodge the dirt and resolve the prob... right of course, whatever you say uncle sam.

you can certainly remove the nipple and plug it, but it will still be bad. nippe sticks out like a sore thumb. amputated and plugged nipple isn't much better.

i think i will go with standard lights.

just your normal halogen lights.
more yellow, doesn't project as far.
does't have sharp cut off line/shadow like xenon's do.

it's not bad, but not as good as xenon for sure.
you dont see THAT much difference (from the drivers point of view) on major roads and fwys with street lights. but if you are on rural routes with no lights at all, you can really see xenon is better.

it really boils downs to when you drive your car. i am of the school that if i dont use it, regardless of how cheap it is, i dont want it. i rarely ever use headlights b/c i dont drive at night.
