Trying too hard to look like an Audi 4000 (the Yank Audi 80.) If you like that look, go for it, but the actual lights themselves give shoite light output

from the looks of things they are pretty rare. the company that made them are long and gone (or they have just stop producing them) according the other forums.

Err I think they look OK on the right car but doubt they'll ever be putting in an appearance on any of mine.

The interstate one on p71 of the Gold Portfolio book looks pretty cool! I still don't see it as an 'improvment' on the round ones though..

Good old Kamei. They were responsible for some hideous modifications back in the day. Still, they don't actually look too bad in that picture.

On an E21 though, that's a different kettle of fish.

I think it actually looks ok on that car in particular with the eyebrows etc...

But... it would only look good with colour coded eyebrows and they look crap anyway plus it looks too much like an Audi or Sirocco

With the square lines of an E30,i think they work.It's all about individuality! 8)
