VLAND Headlights
Hi guys, looking to purchase some VLANDS for my 2016 pre facelift BRZ. Im very new to the whole lighting and electrical aspect of things, can I buy the headlights (they dont come with bulbs), and then buy just a set of bulbs separately, or do I need a full HID kit (whatever that is). I understand they only take h7, d2s, and d2h bulbs.

You'll need a full HID kit. So bulbs, ballasts, wiring.

These are the same as VLands and come with a HID kit. I finally pulled the trigger on them today. 10% off with the MDS10 promo code that expires today. They are backordered again but hopefully they get a new shipment next month.

Buy a HID kit for D2H with an H7 power adapter and a standard relay kit (not a canbus adapter). Quote:
This is running a 6500k bulb. I since have changed to a 5500k, but I doubt there is much difference between my output and the OEM setup. Here are some bad pictures (iPhone 6). These headlights allow for better output than many OEM HID headlights.

The problem with filing down the tab is that the D2H bulbs use the tab to orient the bulb correctly in the housing, so it takes more effort to align them later. I suggest just getting the D2H kit. Check out my build for pictures of where I mounted them. https://www.sylvania-automotive.com/...erstar_zxe.jsp

We are talking about the headlights--not the bulbs. The headlights are good.

I would stand by that as well. Wheel is only as good as the tire that's on it. Aesthetics without proper function is good only if the car never moves. If you have to make an additional investment to get the advertised function, it's worth bringing up.

All aftermarket headlights are pretty much the same--SpecD, Winjet, etc--H7 or HID. For some reason these headlights get a lot of negative comments from people who don't own them.
