He says they are bi-xenon, but they have a separate projector main beam where the indicator should be.

If they looked like OEM, I think they would be worth a look, but as they don't it will be obvious that they are not the real thing.

I don't understand why if they are going to the trouble of making reps, why they can't at least make them look like OEM.

I'd rather stick with original halogens, than obviously fake xenons. Save my money, and make sure that my next car has the real deal.

That's an excellent idea in my opinion, you've got the two seperate projector lights which does away with the need for CECM upgrades and pitch and yaw sensors by not requiring a shutter on the projector lens or electronic auto headlamp adjustment.
It looks fairly OEM too and I'm sure if you put in a silver painted indicator bulb you'd not spot the little light in the middle unless you were really looking for them.

10/10 for me and if available in RHD I'd buy some.

Just realised that these are more or less identical to the ones posted up by Doc in the xenon thread.

I'd originally assumed the the Doc ones above were just replica OEM Xenons until I fully read the Vortex thread and understood how they work. Interestingly the Doc ones above are $250 plus whatever else you get hit with and the US ones are $800 so you'd have to be sure the build quality was 100% as there are probably plenty knock off shops selling this stuff all over the Far East. Either that or the guy on Vortex is making a tidy profit!!  :grin:

And I've just made a new friend:

That is the same ones as on the votex forum! That guy is ripping them off it seems lol! If I could just buy them from a seller in the UK I would but I can't trust buying from overseas :undecided:

You can adjust the beam out put manually Andy on each unit so RHD shouldn't be an issue.

Tell Amy we want pics first!!!   :grin:

She'd be your second wife!
Amy and Andy would make a good pair. A Chinese bride on the forum.
I think Amy's projector hooters look very good and they are as cheap as a take-away.
How much would the whole caboodle cost? Tell her I'd even pimp for her if her bits do the job.

Am interested.

Hi guys,
I have been looking into replacing my halogens with these OEM looking headlamps with the LED DRL.  Firstly I have spoken to the supplier in China who makes the ones they are selling on Vortex.  He told me they are $430..which way less then the guys on the forum is selling them.  But keep in mind there is a minimum number of units to buy and that doesn't include postage.   But I asked the supplier if he makes these for RHD but he said no.  Said it would cost too much and that they would have to make a new mould, which is hard for them as they only have LHD cars in China to copy from.

Anyway...glad I saw this thread as I hadn't come across these headlamps which Amy is flogging.  If they are definitely suitable for RHD I would be in anyt group buy.  Are they also LowBeam Xenon and Highbeam halogen?

Cheers
Ian
