Thread: Installed my new black housings!

I'm not a huge fan of these, sorry.

Maybe I would like them better if they were on a different color car?

Kingvee, they are AVS (Auto Vent Shade). They are the ones with double sided tape on them instead of the ones that sit in the channel.

Bigtom, light output is pretty good. I'm just using the bulbs that came with them for now. I have a set of silverstar ultras i'm thinking of putting in to see how much of a difference there is between them.

I used the stock brackets with no issues...

If I install a new set of lights such as these in the future I will use the stock brackets if possible.

Noob question: drain plugs? i dont recall what it is.

I <3 the Steelies

Miriv, I mean the grey plugs on the back of the headlight and corner housings.

Cleangtp, the seals on mine appear to be good. Mine are leaking because my corner lens bulb socket seal isn't in great shape.

Thanks drunkie! I like the look of the steelies with the rest of the black on the car.

These look good but as far as output do not expect too much. I noticed that the chrome reflector is smaller on the aftermarket black headlights compared to a set of headlights that are painted black.

^ The website I got mine from has hid kits for a special price if you buy the headlights. Pretty much any color/heat for about $90 for a good quality kit.
Is at least $120 at store about 15 mins from my house for same thing.

tbh they look like the stock lenses that they removed the fronts, spray painted the bottoms flat black and resealed. That might explain the price and the leak issues though...

thanks cleangtp. is true. no leak issues on headlights. will hopefully have corner fixed soon.

They appear that way but I had a set of OEM's painted black and an ebay set and a side by side comparison clearly shows the chrome reflector for the ebay lights being smaller. I still have the photos on another post I made on the site.

Nice (:

thanks 9ordohz

Definitely looks good. Nice.

Brandon I bought them from ohio speed shop. I just looked on their website and they no longer carry them. I think I paid about $220 with shipping for them.

Thanks fatboy. I no longer have the car. I still see it around and it still has the black housings on it though.
