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

[sticksdaman]

the word "crystal" should have been a red flag

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 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?

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.:-?

[Addissimo]

tail pipe. (exit only!)

Your poor boyfriend...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Different people have different taste,Hey I'll sell them to you if you like them.;)

touche. How much do you want for them?

I agree that they will not look bad on a car that is right for them. I'd buy them off you for the right price.

[rodrigo]

get some VHT and darken your existing tails.

touché is a french word used in fencing to acknowledge a hit. I was letting you know that you had responded well and countered my comment well.


Although I'd like to buy them from you and see how they would look with my all black thing i'm going for, I think thats a bit more than I want to spend on them. Thanks though.

[TwoJ's]

No, don't do that. VHT spray will lessen the output of the existing lights. It's the same as putting lamin-x on your headlights.
