Default FlyRide LEDs Watcha think?

Just came across this on youtube...I think it makes your vette somewhat unique and something worth considering...what do you guys think?

Not my cup of tea but to each their own. If I was gonna spend $1k+ it wouldn't be on new headlights... I'd buy something that creates torque! But hey that's just me... I say if you like it go for it!

With all the effort put into it they kept incandescent bulbs for DRL's. Did not like them, they either get drowned out by the headlights or turn off when the headlights come on.

Terrible, and look like you went shopping at autozone or eBay.
You'd be better off trying to add an led strip like the Audis have

After watching the video again I don't really like the headlight itself it does look cheap because of the tint they put on there HOWEVER the actual cat eyes or angel eyes or whatever you wana call them look bad *** to me...

Maybe it is just me....but I like these a hell of a lot better than the stock lights...

Yeah, they are different...but the stock lights are just blah...no friggin' personality...IMHO

Would I pay $1K for the conversion?...not on your life...

They look nice.....just like a BMW would.

Sorry, but BMW was the first with angel eyes.....everything else is just copying them.

True but there has to be someone who does it first...back in the day the vette and Ferrari both had flip up headlights....who copied who? Who cares they looked good...we all know the vette took forever to get rid of the flip up headlights and the current C6 has headlights similar to other vehicles...if it looks good why not...so many cars now have the angel eye affect I wouldn't say its copying or trying to be like a beamer, its just the new technology and new style IMO.

Yeah I agree with ya there they kinda look like bracelets, not so good looking but I think there's another company that makes better brighter ones that look better when off...im not buying these but im just talking about the look of the lights when on..
I think they look bad *** when lit at least.

As you say, so many cars now have the angel eye affect.......

As I did with my DRL's I would get the switchback but they be all white LED's. I cant stand ANY amber lights. All my ambers are gone. Now screwing around with modding these headlights is too damn expensive for what you get IMO.
