    What lights are these? Head of Crosshair?

    I've never seen any of these on any cars here and maybe I already know the reason for it, but was wondering if anyone has seen these in person or what you can tell me about them... I think they're fugly but would like to know what the hell is up with them.

      Looks great on '68 Chevelle as well.
      Go for it, as long as those are flat-glass lenses with metal housing, and DOT legal.
      And + HID kit to make it a perfect set.
      5.75" is the keyword.

                      Seen these? actually, every day

                      I see this type of light on new cars every day, they are all the rage. They
                      look like (and are) cheap stamped-reflector units of the variety used on most newer cars these days. Their design criteria is "Must be Cheap". I'd stay away if your requirement is for good headlights. If they look like a fashion accessory, and that's what it looks like they are, then they probably aren't (optometrically speaking) worth much.

                      Any bulb will light when you put voltage to it, the question becomes where and how much light? Will they help you see the road well, simultaneously NOT glare in the eyes of other drivers? Just looking at them you can see they can't control the light very well, that's the nature of crude metal stamped reflectors like those.

                      YMMV,

                        Given the first rain, they'll probably trap condensation. The plastics are most likely inferior and will yellow and blur out over time.
                        I've had depo lights. You'll regret it.

                          IIRC these 'e-code' crosshairs (litterally just a small black + on the lights, doesnt really smoke them) is pretty common among the v-dubbers.

                              Anyone interested in any crosshairs for the E30, I can either do complete lights, or sell just the actual crosshair so you can fit them yourselves.
