Looks great Brian. I wish more people would take the time to upgrade their lighting properly.

Thanks! It's not cheap to do but I agree. If you drive at night, good lighting may be just as important as good brakes depending on where you drive.

Yup....I do close to half of my driving in the dark. Silverstar drop ins were the first mod I did on my Jeep only because I can't afford any better upgrades at the moment. H4 halogens hopefully coming this summer with an upgraded harness.

Good eye on it being a G8. It's my friends GXP with V6 tails. He actually just put on his new magnaflow axle-backs to complement his catted ARH LT system. In addition he put on Camaro 20's which he had custom widened to 10" in the rear. Car looks amazing.

now we all know you love attention but are you ****ing serious? that cut off is sharper than 90% of the cars on the road and puts the light only where it needs to be. a standard halogen headlight would appear brighter than these in terms of scatter. dumbass.

Thanks for the compliments but you are missing the point of a proper HID setup. The cutoff is to make sure you don't blind oncoming traffic while it steps up to provide greater viewing distance. If you notice above the cutoff, there is absolutely no stray light to blind anyone. SUVs with OEM HID projectors sometimes come adjusted a little on the high side and can be blinding depending on the situation.
If you are still getting blinded, stop looking right at the projectors.
The lights you won't like are the HIDs in halogen housings which scatter the light everywhere.

Thanks! I'm currently feeling out interest to put this into production. Tough market to sell this kind of product so we will see.

Ya the stock lights in F-bodies are pretty terrible, to the point that its unnerving when im hustling down a dark road. Anyway your set up looks amazing. How much does this kind of thing cost in the end?

I felt the same way and I can't tell you how many different setups I've had in the car until now. When I did something like this before, the cost was up there in terms of actual component costs ($500+). This did not include custom making the lens, mounting system etc. If I decide to sell these, I will become a sponsor and release pricing. Like anything else, you get what you pay for.

Thats a whole lot of money but its probably worth it so that a tree doesnt sneak up on me at night. i would most definitely be interested in a kit like this
