Aftermarket Headlights on 4.8is

I've been itching to get rid of the orange in my factory 2004 headlights. Been debating on getting them baked and putting custom angel eyes with clear blinkers. I stumbled upon these headlights on ebay awhile back but never paid much mind to them. I'm not sure if I like them. What do you guys think. I feel like they update the front end but I never liked non OEM Lights. This is not my car btw I saw the ad on craigslist for car for sale.

They don't look too bad - if it wasn't for that eyebrow across the top, especially the way it lights up with the rings.....

Oem european ones are clear corners, and retain all options.



Wont those aftermarket ones make you loose your headlight aiming/turning with your steering wheel

I saw those headlights when they came out months ago.

IMO they look cheap with the top eyebrow. If they didn't have that they would be alright looking.

I can't understand why an aftermarket manufacturer won't come up with a decent solution doing the things that we want - OEM look with super bright LED halo's.

Is it because of the whole adaptive headlight thing? Too hard basket?

The rear of these after market headlights is a mess!
