I don't have any daytime shots of the headlights on the car since I kinda just put them in. This is the only shot I have so far. I think it looks good..

Why spend $400+ on headlights that don't do anything more than a pair of $80 headlights? At least that's the way I see it.

Not to mention that, since they don't have reflectors in them, they're not even legal here.

I've had this on my hd for ages... I think it's someone here.

I personally don't care much at all for Black housing headlight's.. I'd rather spend a "grip" for the real thing. Gunmetal &gt; Black all day every day.

Not legal in Canada?? That sucks!!!

I have CTR's with no reflector and never got a single complaint. Go get 99-00 Corner bulb's and pop those in like I did. It look's better and it's not illeagal.
