You should post some pictures.

[kafanylovesme]

What exactly do you want out of this? You want us to say if they're "cool" or not? Opinion for what?

[corriganjoshua]

Ill be the first to say I dont like the way they look but its all a matter of opinion.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

they look ok. If that's the look you're looking for. But, yeah, they look alright

[ILoveMyRHS13]

With proper exterior modifications, they would look good.

[jackjack]

sexy.


the end.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

With proper exterior modifications, they would look good.
I agree. they wouldn't look good on oem exterior but with a nice kit and nice color they would look pretty nice and pretty unique.

[brndck]

imo, they look ok on either a car with a full kit, super clean paint, etc (more towards a show car) or a full drift/track only car. not so good on lightly modded street cars.

[emersonLP]

And i could come up with a bunch of ways I would personally spend $1200 on things other than headlights.

[hotlavaflow]

I think $1200 could go to something else. That's a lot of money. Oh and yes I do like them but the price is just offensive.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

$1200 is a set of nice coilovers!

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

$1200 is a set of nice coilovers!

1200 is a flat screen 40" tv for my bedroom.

[tougemaster]

ahhaha... yeah.. just a cover is not that much.. but just cannot find some HID and halogen in USA. anyone..

[94_240sx]

I know 3 different people who did that modification and all of them hated it. People do it cuz there's this pictures with two s13s with that headlights, but in real world. They don't fit well and light output is just terrible.

[240cracker]

$1200 is a set of nice coilovers!

ya thats a grip of $
i have coilovers but ugly headlights
try to make ur own kit like that thats what im going to do

[bboyoracle]

As i said in another thread.....your best bet is just to buy the covers for 300 and source your own lights.

[nisans13turbo]

i found this, i like!

[handinpants]

I think they look super cool, but $1200 is super pricey for lights. do they have any magical powers?

[nisans13turbo]

Is it even drivable at night?

[bboyoracle]

I guess if you want to be ghetto about it? I rather support a quality product then butcher it by making my own.

[ROIDMONKEY]

if money is not a issue get them, and yes it is worth it. u gonna be one of the few one or maybe the only one slapping everybody
if i had a fastback ill go with it
i always say this ITS ALL ABOUT THE MOONEY

??/ what.. yeah... of course..

[240cracker]

i kind of like doing it myself
i like fabricating

im gunna try and do my own when i do ill post a thread about it

[Sway500]

I would like to know if a E46 projector would fit inside that housing.

[tougemaster]

I would like to know if a E46 projector would fit inside that housing.
Yeah i thinking to just buy the cover and use some projector to fit thoses so i dont have to spend that 1200 for that lights and cover..

[bboyoracle]

Expect to wait over a month. I ordered my supermade buckets and kit mid february and my kit just left Japan.

Picture when u install them

[95KA-Turbo]

There was a set of these on up garage for 200 dollars a few months ago....yeah they stayed for sale for like 2 days, hahaha.

[Dorifto12]

to me it depends on the ext. mods the car has i've seen that kit on a coupe and didn't like it, on F.bs they look nCe.

[BattleRoyale]

looks ok but hella impractical

probably wont be able to see shit at night plus 1200 bucks not worth it

[silviaguy240]

buy just the covers and do your own retrofit. cheaper and better light output

[an_orange_s2k]

i like them but i would use 1200 on other stuff

[hotlavaflow]

Probably priced like that because they are D.O.T. Approved HID Driving lights and not just HID fog lights (I'm guessing). IDK You could buy the covers and just throw a pair of these in there or something like them.

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95058

Personally I'd throw $1200 at some coils, JDM madd-tyte wheels, pistons and rods, turbo upgrade..... I digress.

[ROIDMONKEY]

and if u ask grant for it he would buy it, but for him no u LOL

[lflkajfj12123]

they're cool

but unless your car can pull them off then don't get them

[HyperTek]

dam i didnt know harbor freight had hid lights lol

i wonder how the light output is on them

[origin_s135]

like most people said, if your car can pull it off it's all good. just don't get these lights and add it to a stock body 240sx. then it would really be a waste of money, knowing that the $$$ could've went to something else.

[womenbeshoppin]

i found this, i like!

I wasn't much of a fan until i saw this badboy.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

they sort of remind me of the re amamiya (sp?) rx7 body kit....a little.

[ByeByeSti]

sexy.


the end.


i believe its..

expensive.

am I wrong when I say that I swear I've seen a knock off of these (or something like this) a long time ago all over ebay?

[smelly240]

raceon sells knockoffs.

[bboyoracle]

Knock offs ruin the tuning scene >_<

[nisans13turbo]

Knock offs ruin the tuning scene >_<

True, but to some of us moneys dont grow on tree!:spank:

[Jimmy Up]

Knock offs ruin the tuning scene >_<

No, people who worry so much about what others think ruin the tuning scene.

Do what YOU want man, if you need other people to convince you how cool they are then you dont want them that bad and you are DEFINITELY not pushing out 1200 bucks for em.

[bboyoracle]

FYI I have seen the raceon buckets for sale because of their fitment

[SR20d2fourT]

why not just fab something up yourself?

1200 is a LOT of money

[whiterps13]

For like $600 you could retrofit some -real- HID projectors in a badass custom housing.

Then take the $600 you saved, get it all in dollar bills, and go show off your new headlights at the strip club. You might actually be able to see at night too!

[wisDOMination]

i love them
go with the supermade kit, or the race on knock off's
i was planning on going with the race on knock off's
but changed my mind and planned on fabbing one out myself

go ahead, be a hater cause my shit is gonna be a "knock off" and not the "real deal". at least i can say i have the skills to fab one myself, which are skills YOU probably wont have, since you'd rather spend money rather than to TRY and make one yourself. (this goes to people who whine about knock off's being wrong... knock offs are wrong most of the time, but at certain points, they're not)

[bboyoracle]

that doesnt even make sense lol

Some help for the OP Contact Van at onetongarage.com. Team Aero-k or JDMPalace can get you supermade parts as well. Good luck with whichever way you go.

maybe because you ain't reading right?
at certain points, knock offs are alright. like for example, these headlights. you can fab one yourself instead of buying the real ones. so you can actually LEARN how to do something, and maybe APPRECIATE the part a little more, knowing you fabbed it yourself.

its wrong when you go and buy other peoples (mass produced) knock off's.

;)

[Aeroscraper326]

Your basically paying for the name with these.. Quality is still excellent though.

[exitspeed]

For $1200 you could make better ones yourself.

Someone was selling a set on here a few months and I thought they look like shit.

[firelizard]

You want an opinion?

Overpriced and hideous.

I <3 pop-ups.

[Carisma•FR]

I have this setup for 2 years now...
Raceon replica with $50 Hella driving lights, bright as hell. Only issues I got is a small crack on one of the lens. Other than that no issues whatsoever.

[xsparc]

Carisma•FR has it right... looks good but 1200 is way too much

[bsilvias13]

i know a guy that has hid kits in any color for 400 and a friend is running them and they are sikkk nasty bright. and they are here in the us the company is called jam audio there out of brunswick me. call there and ask for dennis hes one of the owners.

[NismOkatFreaK]

Just got super made ones from www.one ton garage.com - products - supermade - Nissan S13 (180SX) headlight conversion (http://www.onetongarage.com/products/supermade/180sxheadlight/index.html) for cheap install is easy and you can buy any lights just make a back plate, im retrofitting two projector pods in the back of mine right now.

[bboyoracle]

lol this is an old thread and FYI I did end up buying them :keke:

[CrimsonRockett]

Hmm, $280 for the buckets alone isn't a bad deal considering I can come up on some small HID's for cheap.

I'd definitely buy the authentic ones over the Raceonusa ones.

Supermade = Guaranteed quality and fitment

Raceon = Hit or miss.

[bboyoracle]

Raceon = Hit or miss.

Miss....a friend of mine bought it and fitment was horrible :-/

[Flicktitty]

looks pretty good installed....

[NismOkatFreaK]

By the way expect alot of work to make them look legit. In fact the covers looked so gay to me that i traced them on my old pop up light lids cut um and welded them to the hood, almost looks like a s14 hood with a little more anger, best way to do it i think.

[DeadlyZ33]

my honest opinion is they 100% only look good from like 2 different angles, everywhere else they make the car look stupid, they make the car look older and more outdated and they look gay. The couple pics ppl posted of sick cars with them on were all from the same angle, and yes they looked pretty sick, but i think overall it looks like a sloppy old 1980's gimmick and they look cheap. popups look so much sexier, ESPECIALLY sleepy eyes with lil HIDs converted on them!!!

All my opinion, no hate.

[toycar]

i have them. i hate them. first of all, only get them if your hood and roof(or entire car) is painted black. if not then it WILL look gay(i know from first hand exp). second of all, the light is so far inside the housing that all u get is two little rectangles of light on the road. some people seem to be able to deal with that but that is crap imo.

This is what i did cause the lids they came with were flat, lights were curvered, so i cut the top of the pop up light identically with the lids they came with. Looks pretty cool not done yet, still have to remold bupmer around lights so it looks perfect. Ill post more pics when thats done.

[drftwerks]

^^^^^
did you just tell yourself this looks good?

[NismOkatFreaK]

Accually ive gotten alot of comments on it and when the bumpers fixed and my hid,s are in it will look sick.

[mondojackal]

The idea is sound, but I think we all just hope that you do a bit more body work on it before you call it "complete"

[pink godzila]

Here is mine.. dont like them because took me fu*king long time to get them fit better (not perfect)

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e89/pl91741/DSC00212.jpg

[iwishiwas-all*]

the ONLY way this looks good is with bn sports kits. thats it. end of story.

[Om1kron]

the bn sports kit for a 180sx looks like shit...



yeah





i said it.

[NismOkatFreaK]

Vertex is best with these, probly guna toss this ugly ass bumper for vertex one.

[BustedS13]

barf
waste of money
poor output, i'd imagine
making your car look "angry" is silly

[pink godzila]

Angry?? but if I can go back to pop up I would and I would recommand not to buy the SuperMade bucket, it just waste time and money also fitment is shit. Again, if i can go back to pop up ill just do sleeper eye mod instead purchase thoese bucket. :ghey:

[Adikt]

anyone wanna sell their knockoffs? i cant seem to find em on raceons site

[Slammed180]

i said it.

Thank you!
I'm still not %100 on those lights. I used to love sleepy eyes, then I loved the supermade buckets, now I'm back to stock, normal operating headlights.
