OK....... what do you think? RICER OR NOT?

[wickedE30]

Not that I disagree with you, but how do you know they are crap? Have you even seen them in real life or had them in your posession? Much of the rumors about depo e30 products are strictly hear-say.

Yes,I have seen these in person.I bought a set for my other car about a year ago.I was so excited to open the box then I was like WTF,this is crap.I still have them "new in box" not used,not even test fitted.The ones I bought are for the face lift e30, same ones from depo.I can post pics if you want.

I think those crystal lights would look good on the right car. but on a stock ride height, stock 14" wheel car, they would look like ricer crap. the rest of the car needs to be able to set off those lights.

Nico's set of smoked tails on s14.net

[TwoJ's]

For that price I would rather get the star-tec's,not only are they better looking they are way better quality than that crap.You should contact "Ac Nico" as he often runs into star-tec's.

tail pipe. (exit only!)

Your poor boyfriend...


:-P

[SandyEggoE30Girl]

yeah I hear you guys.................
I really want something that is almost black on the tail of my car, with out some dumb ass climbing up my tail pipe. (exit only!)

I might try some type of coating, and throw a bunch of LEDs in it to make it super bright? Well see.:-?

I have seen MHW's in person. They are just as bright as stock lights. Stock lights with paint over them = not as bright.

Ohhh you have seen them have you?! NO way! Those things are like bigfoot!!

Oh yeah, and no, MHW's do not have the same output as stock. I have owned Startec's and MHW's. These were made with direct comparison with stock and MHW's.

But you maybe right, cus you saw them one time and had appopriate instruments right there with you to measure the lumen output didnt you?

[AndrewBird]

It is true. The smoked lights available for the early cars are made by Startec, and those for late cars are by MHW.

These are brighter than the MHW's there ace. So light output is better.

That picture is also on a dark cloudy day.

I beleive all those "crystal" style lights for e30's are made by Depo.

rice....

[Jscotty]

If you have to ask.. then know that it is indeed RICE.

Personally he had me convinced with everything that he was saying UNTIL he said that it will increase the value of my car.

[Van Westervelt]

Unless MHW sold Startec’s products, I don’t think this is true.


Yes, and lower the light output of your tail lights.

I think the crystal style is too modern for our cars. It only looks right on era-correct cars (e39, e46, etc.).
