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.

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

Here are some pictures of my install if anyone was curious on installation:

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.

looks pretty good installed....

NismOkatFreaK · 01-31-2009, 06:20 PM

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 · 01-31-2009, 07:00 PM

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good from like 2 different angles, everywhere else they make the car look stupid, they make the car look older and more outdated and they look gay.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 · 02-01-2009, 04:04 AM

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.

NismOkatFreaK · 02-02-2009, 08:35 PM

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 · 02-02-2009, 09:18 PM

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

NismOkatFreaK · 02-02-2009, 10:14 PM

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

mondojackal · 02-02-2009, 10:42 PM

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 · 02-02-2009, 10:48 PM

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

iwishiwas-all* · 02-02-2009, 10:52 PM

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

Om1kron · 02-03-2009, 09:05 AM

NismOkatFreaK · 02-03-2009, 05:24 PM

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 · 03-08-2009, 04:36 AM

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.
