Okay so I have been searching but haven't found a solid answer to my question. My question is that if I install the Circuit Sports Headlight Cover will it actually ruin the lighting. Im asking because I saw a comment of someone saying it would but it was not confirmed. If it is so then I think im just gonna have to go with the UK OEM Style. Thanks in Advance

Couldnt you have asked this in the thread that was made yesterday about the same shit or in the "question thread" Like really?
no shit, man. it has no actual "cutoff" that helps lighting go where its supposed to go. instead you'll have a TON of shitty glare. don't do it, it'll save you a ticket and you wont blind people. Euro headlights are a MUCH better choice.

yeah that's what I was thinking but I just wasn't too sure. I think i am going to go with the OEM style even tho it'g going to cost me twice as much as just getting the clear ones

Headlight covers will effect lighting because there will be no fluting to direct the beam. If you do a projector retrofit though it can turn out very well.
I run the german glass in my S14 and they are awesome!

i dont no why people flip out. its OK. just adjust your lighting angle.
the HID's i have in my car have like a cutoff/shield thing to prevent them from blinding oncoming traffic.
edit: wtf two of these in one day? lol

I did a comparison test on it that someone wrote an article about on 240sxone. Its not that bad, there is no glare, but since there are no vertical flutes on the clear lenses the light is very concentrated in the center with a central hot spot on each side. It's liveable, but obviously a retrofit like the one I did below is the best option. These are lenses I made not the circuit sports lenses, but same deal.

Looks like there's plenty of light where you need it. What kinda projectors are those?
^^well thats cause he's using projectors. i don't disagree one bit if you use them with clear lenses

those are fx-r projectors with acrylic mirror/e46 shrouds
here is another one I did with mini h1 bixenons- a member on here bought these recently from the person I did the retrofit for iirc.
