I really dont care to much for the bubble that those have. Although I was willing to go either way for this project, I did prefer these...

I think you're right about color matching. The later shots of your car show all the black accents, and the headlights go right along with them.

I was wondering the same thing..

I think they look good. It would be interesting to see them color matched.

Can you hear the fans running and do they stay on only when the lights are on ? Is the fans purpose to keep them from fogging up ? And do they take special bulbs or will 9005's and 9006's fit ? BTW, They Look Great

I like the pop-ups better, but if you like them, that's all that matters.

The CR5's are HID right?

I actually like the hump on the C5R's, it gives the look some character IMO. The C5R's are not HID's but can be converted quite easily, I will be doing my soon

You can do what I did and order a sealed beam conversion which allows you to use 9005s' and 9006's. I got some PIAA super white bulbs to put in them.

I tinted my lens but the tint is way to dark so it reduced the brightness too much so I am going to put some lighter tint.

Tinting like that is interesting... it kinda makes it seem like you have the pop ups again?!?

Its a protective film made just for headlights. The company just came out with a new film with a lighter tint which would be perfect especially with the black housings.
