HUGE difference! Viewing angle is a good 50% wider or so, brightness is night and day difference. I cant believe no one bought these. What was the original price?! I put these on a week or two after i bought my car and if I had started over it would still be the first thing I put on my car. The OEM viewing angle is really tight and really doesn't show through turns very well if you ever go on a casual canyon / mountain drive at night.

This is a steal of a deal for the price. I'm going to post it in the AZ local thread. I knew someone that wanted these at one point but he is in the military and not around right now.

Why hasn't this sold yet? lol I don't think people get what this is. This is 2x brighter (I'm not even exaggerating) than installing HID's in yoru OEM headlights. Not only that but your highbeams actually produce 2x as much light as they are bi-xenon! Someone buy theeseeeee.

I don't even know the OP and I'm trying to push his ad, that should say something!

Just a quick question. The only thing bothering me is the glare i'm seeing in the photos you posted? Is that normal? Or coming from a reflected object?

Hey man, we talked before (I think about the muffler tips).

Can you post a picture of those babies against a wall, like 20 feet away? I want to see how the cutoff is like from that far away.

I might get it if the cutoff is good since I'm planning to switch back tk stock lights.

Sent from my phone. Might have typos. Sorry.

The glare is minimal, and the cuttoff is similar to an S2000 not quite as nice but very close. The glare is likely from a reflection.

IIRC these are the projectors that come with the kit:


Compared to a set of TSX projectors:

So...pic?

Edit: No offense meant, just wanted to see if the cutoffs are straight/parallel to the ground with no drooping on the sides, and I can't see that from the 3 foot wall shot that was posted.

Sent from my phone. Might have typos. Sorry.

I'm sorry but how would I fulfill your request?
I'm not dismounting the Winjets to remount these.
For the 11K miles and 19 months that they were on the car I can state: "The cutoff, the width, and the output are all excellent"

You can peruse HID Planet for 20'-25' cutoff shots of Morimoto Mini H1's with Morimoto 4300K bulbs.
