Sonar from Taiwan... they are pretty good quality driven for about 30k miles and everything still works and the halos... u can score them on ebay for about 300 shipped.

**tungster** · 01-08-2008

Welcome....Nice light mod.

eKeith · 01-08-2008

Now you're making me consider those projectors again...

Hay you do have a nice ride!!
I'm gonna buy the headlight like your, but is the projection angle adjustable?

Paul · 01-10-2008

Welcome to the forum. Based upon the car (and girlfriend of course!!) you appear to be pretty far from sight less! Enjoy the new car.

noregret4life · 01-10-2008

Welcome...

I loved my R170. And i can say it is a very safe car. Saved my life when it was totaled.

Good call on the headlights. Do you have HIDs behind the projectors? Hard to tell from the pictures.

I miss the supercharger feel of the R170. And sound of my supercharger purging via a custom bypass flange i had made for it... people were just shocked and though my car was a sleeper

ellimb · 01-11-2008
