cheap egay headlights?

i was wondering how these cheap *** "diamond cut" headlights are compared to the ones at MSA or Black Dragon?

i was thinkin the blue "city light" was pretty gay but i am thinkin i can pop it out and replace it with a high output orange LED and wire it to the turn signal.
be a little different and i am pretty sure i'll get better light out of these than the crap pattern the sealed beams give me.

In short, I wouldn't recommend them. They disperse the light way too much without any focus. You're better off with the sealed beams over them. Get some Autopal E-code lights if you want H4 lights that won't break your bank. They worked great for me before I went to HIDs.

That's kind of an interesting idea. Going with say a yellow or Orange angel eye sort of ring or the LED as an additional turn signal. More so I'd say on the S30s, especially the 240/260s where the turn signals are down really low.

yea i think it would just be cool all arround if it were just the running lights.

i never stopped to look but do the side markers blink too and do the fronts and the side alternate or flash at the same time if they do?

The side markers do not blink too. I have always thought that would be a cool thing to do - shouldn't be too hard to do either.
