prodrive headlights
ok, chances are, many people are going to smite me for this, but i'm used to it, so here goes...

does anyone else not like the look of the prodrive headlights for the bugeye? this guy's sellin a set on ebay, and they are color-matched WRB, and i just think they don't compare to the edm or jdm...

whatcha think?

I liked mine when I was going through a UK300 replica phase.. :lol:
I like my jdms much better.
allpraiseJC 11-02-2005 10:11 PM

proletariandan 11-02-2005 10:55 PM

I can't wait to get mine next week :D
MBasile 11-02-2005 11:08 PM

whats the ebay link? the only ones I can find on ebay are black
Uncle Ben 11-02-2005 11:48 PM

Just buy them and spray them flat black. They look the best that way IMO...
Thumper23 11-02-2005 11:59 PM

I always thought the EDM/JDM STi headlights looked sooooo much better

jdms and the black prodrive ones looks nice.

The projector units in the Prodrives will give you better lighting than the EDM/JDMs. Most on here prefer the looks of the latter, but I suppose that could be subjective ;)

I'd say go for it, I prefer them in black, though

yes, i also find them ugly. the STI EDM or JDM ones are much better looking. but, i did love the light output of my prodrive ones when i had them.

I feel like the jdms put out more light.
:)
PARANOID56 11-03-2005 05:05 PM

you feel, or they do? :D

i feel that my prodrives (when i still had them) were 10x better then the stockers :D

Kinda hard to remember now..But the jdms do put out more light imho.
Mulder 11-03-2005 06:40 PM

EDM/JDM lights use H1 bulbs for low beam. Prodrives/UK300s/Morettes use H7 bulbs. The H7 is more efficient and produces better lighting performance.
PARANOID56 11-03-2005 07:28 PM

Thats what i thought.
and oh yea, got me some prodrive lights on ebay just now :D
now i just have to repaint them black :D

My UK300s are probably my favorite cosmetic upgrade on my bugeye...don't dig on the color-matched look though - mine are black (stock)...I really like the look of the JDMs as well but the clear cover on my stock WRX lights were pretty scratched and pitted and looked bad (I know there are ways to corect this, but I'm lazy) - I feared the JDM lights would suffer the same fate after a while due to also having clear covers...I guess what I am saying is I went w/ the prodrives because I figured they would hide road debris damage better...so far I have been right...
Bman 11-03-2005 07:41 PM

I'm not a fan of them, but to each his own...
imprez25 11-03-2005 11:10 PM

where can i get a set of the uk300s?
Hank3 11-03-2005 11:49 PM

[QUOTE=imprez25]where can i get a set of the uk300s?[/QUOTE]
Prodrive stopped producing the lights a couple years ago. The only places you can buy them these days are either on eBay, Private for Sale Classifieds, or I believe Vivid sells the carbon fiber versions. Buy at your own risk though from Vivid.

agreed. The projector lens setup in the jdm/edms arent as good as the hella lenses in the prodrive lights?

jdms still my favorite but the prodrive lights come in a close second. It depends on what your car looks like and what fits.

if you do get the uk300 lights I think they look much better black and not colormatched

better bulbs make a world of difference

When I used to run the stock lights I ran better philips xtra vision. The visionplus bulbs are better but I dont think they have them in the 9007 wrx stock sized bulb.

hm... Not my style...

thanks. i'll look into those
prelude/2.5rs 11-04-2005 06:45 PM

I have the CF ones. I love them, especially w/ the Hella HID upgrade. As stated above..."to each his own". I would get them and paint them black.
