Those lights would worry me about fitment. I would def. trust the Specter Werks, but not those. I'm looking for some SW myself.

I just installed C5R SW lights with HIDs on my car (finished a couple hrs ago). I will post pics soon. Lights look great but like mentioned above, the beam leaves some to be desired, still better then stock, but I think thats only because I have HIDs

What you mean the beams suck? Is it a bad spread pattern or what? What's wrong with them? Thanks!
