Projector Beams removed

RE: Projector Beams removed
They fit and looked great. They cast a wierd light skyward and lit up trees above the car with reflected light. there was also a prism effect with yellow, purple, and blue hues (not the nice blue of xenons). There were several areas of blind spots within the beam. All of that you would get use to but the one thing I could not accept was the sharp cut off of light just several feet past the hood well short of the halogens. I tried to adjust them using the very crude cheap plastic adjusting mechanism which was of zero help.
I did not say anything to wifey about it feeling like a sap, but she drove it and without any prompting from me, she called within 3 blocks of leaving and said she could not see.
Fortunately they fully refunded the purchase amount. DO NOT BUY CHEAP BRAND X HEADLIGHTS.

the newer s500.

I got suckered into the same lights, Unfortunely having a94' I don't have many options for upgrades..... They do look sweet during the day, just like the new S500... Luckily, I own a repair shop and one of my mechanics solved the blind spot problem for me.. He rewired the lights to have the fog lights turn on with the low beams, and we changed the fog light bulbs just strong enough to fill the blind spot but not too brightto annoyother drivers...
