They look very expensive for what you get.

The bare housings are very reasonably priced actually.

The full-on package with the projectors already installed are about $200 more than what you could DIY it for, but are also drop-in and warranted. There wouldn't be any point to IL4 offering that service if they weren't going to make any more money on them.

Still less money than a set of real CTR lights, and it looks like you actually get some usable lighting.

I've been looking for a set of replica CTR lights for a couple of years now since the Depo ones went away. I might have to ****** a set of these up.

ordered up the halogen set. My current OEM lights look like they are covered in dried milk from previous owner trying to "polish" them. Really cannot be worse.

Post up pics when you get them installed. I'm seriously considering a set as well.

They look great actually. Been street testing one of the Stage 2 combos for the last few months.



We really tried to make these as PnP as possible and even included enhanced "city lights" that can fill the entire housings for our projector units. Gives the projector an almost holographic look.
We run the power for the COB's and BiXenon controls through a grommet in the back, and fully loom the harness. With an included jumper with T-Tapps for nabbing power from the turn signals.













Also the COB backlights + a pair of Cree Switchback bulbs are seriously trick.







Full Line up including 96-98 models are here.

They look really nice. I'm not super into the halos, but that's me. I might end up getting the parts and doing the retrofit myself. Not because I'm cheap, but just because I'm a control freak and like doing things myself

Good eye. I forgot about that. Might be time to pull the trigger and stash a set for the new year.

Blows ebay's out of the water, depo's are a dumpster fire by comparison. The only differences I could find were a non-metal bulb-flange and no "Stanley" on the lens. If you have old yellow lenses, these are a hundred times better than polishing and (at least)three times cheaper than new OEM.

Good to hear. Ordered my retro today, I'll be picking a set of these up after the new year to go with them.

Just a heads up. Were doing the same kind of setup in a month or so for EG's as well.
