Title: Most awesome but still classy headlights?
Post by: madsb on 22 February 2013, 11:33: Looking for a new set of headlights. Currently have some kind of angel eyes wanna-be BMW installed (bought it with them on). Looking for something with a more stock look and with clear lens.. Anyone got any specific models, preferably with amazon links and pics? :grin: .. Basically just your favorite lights as long as they're not totally douchy :p (they don't have to be stock at all)

Cheers.

About the only classy "aftermarket" lights I've seen I think IMO.

Post by: Gavv8 on 22 February 2013, 16:03: OEM or Hella... anything else cheapens the brand.
Title: Re: Most awesome but still classy headlights?
Post by: Foreveryoungaus16v on 22 February 2013, 16:05: Here you go. These certainly do not cheapen the brand if you can afford them

I had Hella twins before but defo prefer the Morettes. Tbh both are good its personal preference. The Hella twins seem to be more common and always up for sale where as the Morettes dont come up for sale very often and are more expensive. With regards to the orig question I say if you are looking at lights go for Hella Twins, OEM or Morettes.

Post by: Ninja on 22 February 2013, 19:28: Bells twins or joey'd. Morette look oversized. Not a fan. Look like hella rip offs to me. :-(

I meant "to me". You're right, it's preference. But to me the lenses just look huuuuge.
Title: Re: Most awesome but still classy headlights?

Post by: Shady Pioneer on 22 February 2013, 22:14: I really don't like the non-smoked versions of the Hella Twins. Something just doesn't look right, the smoked ones look much better on darker cars too.

i think hella twins, joey'd oems or straight oems are the only way to go. it all depends on the colour of the car, eg i think red mk3s look pants with oem but wicked with black twins
