Sorry for asking this it's already been answered but I really don't want to look through 42 pages. Lol.

Do these have DRL's? If so, what are they? What would be on if you turn on the parking lights? Thanks!

07 should be high beams, if you turn on parking lights the signals will on with low power and the rings and leds will all go on as well

One of my cffl light bars is already burnt out. I don't care bout the bars or the leds but now it looks weird wit one bar out and the other workin. Anyone know how to disable just the bar, not the halos? I wanna disable the leds too. I hope the halos last a lot longer.

so yeah....i got reall pissed off about these lights cause the stupid yellow reflector for the signal bulbs fell off......which caused me to baked the dam thing and take the fucken light apart...

as the for the cutoff......mine is absolutely fked up and as for the aiming....its absolutely fked up too....why?!! cause the aiming screw were all stripped.....second the internals of this is fked too...
oh my high beams are also FKED TOO....

why?! the projectors are mounted on this plastic which has the aiming screw BUT the highbeams are also attached to the plastic too.....so when u aim...u move the plastic which the projectors are mounted on...which also moves the high beams.... sorry i dont have any pictures but thats my 2 cents...

so even after this rant....im still using them....the cut/aiming is screwed up ....gonna put in hid and most likely will blind people...honestly im so bitter about these lights....but they got a hold on me!! so i must live with it....and suck it up...

oh if u check out my images...thats my messed up cut off...any help will be good!

Yeah I had a friend asking me where he could buy them. I tried finding them and the only ones I could locate cost $250+ instead of the $150 on ebay.

I messaged K2motor, which seems to be the primary distributor of these, and I'm waiting for a reply from them.

So since im UBERLY pissed off about my 2nd gen projectors....

im currently taking the dam thing apart....and modifying it myself....SUPER SUPER PISSED OFF....

whats gonna be different...

1) high beams are not gonna be adjusted (cause im gonna glued them!!) while aiming projectors...
2) More adjustable projectors...cause im gonna cut off the hovering mount which connects both high beam and projectors
3) hopefully if it works out...a nice clean TSX-type cut off...IF it works out.

pics will be up soon....im finish ranting.....for now.

If you have the 2nd gen projectors they dont have the z style cutoff, they have the e code cutoff which is more typical in europe. it is lower on the left and swoops up on the right. just thought you should know they will not look like the tsx cutoff regardless of what you do.

look in this link for pics of the 2nd gen cutoff

bumpy bump..

a few Q's..

Anyone had issues with the light housing melting from the heat of turn signals? I've heard one bad story about it

Are the turn signal still 3157's?

Are the stock LED whites?

Could you do something to have only the halos as your DRL's and have 'em on all the time? (not the LEDs and corner lights though)

i want these head lights where can i get them?
