This is what aggrevates me about OEM parts in general. I'm sorry but I don't for one minute believe the headlights are 13% of the cost of the car to produce. I could understand if they were some limited edition, super-freaky, one-off limited edition headlights but these are mass-produced devices on a mass-produced car.

Don't try to explain it to me, I get it, its reality, I just had to get that off my chest!

Any pictures of the rear? That's the only part of the kit I'm really interested in. The front license plate notch kind of kills it, for me.

So why did you double post that they don't fit if you didn't know for sure and had no proof? Especially after I had linked a thread where it said that could be done, which was then linked again by someone else?

Do you have any full car shots without the rear on? I wanted to purchase the kit less the rear and wanted to see how that would look.

Thanks!

FYI...the JDM headlights are design for RHD vehicles and their cutoff is reversed. This means you will be BLINDING oncoming traffic everywhere you drive at night.
