Headlight. Looks like it belongs a a KTM or some other touring bike.

that headlight reminded me of this, it was cool at the moment



the headlight is a JW speaker 8700 they go for about 480 each. expensive but you never replace the bulb and led. the cut off is amazing.. still pondering about this even it might make it look cyborg but ehh it is functional than the old 70s light

Personally the LED headlights look terrible. If you upgrade the stock headlights to either H4 bulbs or even an HID projector in a stock housing (kinda like the e30 euro smiley headlights) it would be a much cleaner, less ricey look.

These are euro smiley's



Worth noting, as this is what I'm planning to do for my headlights, if you do retrofit HID projectors into a stock 7" housing, you need to make sure that the housing you use is completely smooth glass, as opposed to having any kind of pattern in it. The patterns in a stock housing would disperse the light from the projector and disrupt the cut off line, possibly blinding other drivers.


Of course it's your car, so go with what you think looks and works they way you want. In the end your the one that should be enjoying it.

I do agree it looks ricey but functions very well. I was leaning more toward led but now after thinking about it a couple of days, sticking with oem housings and thinking and the FX-R

That was my initial plan use the stock housing and use FX-R HID

like what wh33lhop did,



FX-R price not bad

Do you have the E21 taller rails off of each side? Would you be interested in selling them? How much to PA 17066? Nice build by the way, I am subscribed.
