Default Anyone install exposed headlights? Good, bad?

Hello
Has anyone installed exposed headlight modules on their cars yet? Like the Specter Werkes one found in the mall section. They look real sharp, I was wondering if anyone has them. If not, what do you think of them?

GARCEEYA has them on his C5. He frequents this forum. They are sharp looking!

Like you, I was a little hesitant. I compared available models including both the Specter and Breathless styles. But after seeing their looks on the C5R, I decided to go with with the Breathless non-pop up system.

Performance: Very bright. I've lowered my vert and still get comments from the lead caravan car to 'dim my l*&^&*! lights'.

Problems: One of the clear covers came a little loose and let in some dust. It was a simple matter to remove the cover (three screws) to clean.

Appearence: I receive many positive comments. Besides the lights themselves, it is the small circulation fan visible inside each housing that receives the most comments. In fact, this is one of the few exterior mods that does get voiced opinion; both good and bad.

Personal: After having them for several months . . . I like 'em.
