Wow, another fail. Rendered the highbeams to be absolutely useless.


Faith in present and future RX-8 community... Total loss.

Not a fan at all. Headlights look out of place, reminds me of when civic drivers replace their headlights with black housed projector assemblies. Props for taking the risk cutting open a $700 assembly though. If i was ever to crack open my lights it would only be to replace my lens with an FX35 lens or something.
