Which head lights?

lt1_fd3s · 01-10-2009, 04:50 PM

Ok, I find myself having to decide which head lights i want. So, I figured I would come and ask everyone!

Please let me know what you think...

I've narrowed it down to two main contenders right now: RE Sleek or Knightsports

RE lights:

Knightsports:

Ok, this may help with some's decision, I'm planning to use a SCOOT replica hood, Stock '93 front bumper w/ '99 spec front lip and FEED Front fenders.

I would go with the RE-A's myself and that's what I voted for, but with the 93 front it would look just as good keeping the pop up's

I personally like pop ups on our cars. (I have a custom kit for the 87) Besides that do you actually have a way to pick up the knightsports?

Phoenix7 · 01-11-2009, 02:22 AM

The poll is now open.

I vote KnightSports...everyone has RE-A flush, no?

thanks phoenix for the thread help! =]

If you want sleek.. then RE.

If you want pop ups... well, I guess Knightsport..

Something for you to think of... Most people will never know you have knightsports.... Unless you want to show them off and pop them up during the day light.

lt1_fd3s · 01-11-2009, 10:42 AM

I actually did leave them popped when I first got them on my black car. I also did it for the short time I was at DGRR last year to show them off and to recognize my car in pictures. I followed an RX-8 for a little while and it looked like the rear passenger was getting video of me. I still want to find that video if it exists.

east bear non pop ups

lt1_fd3s · 04-27-2009, 07:39 AM

these lights?!?!? they make me think of a frog!!!

and i'm actually trying to find a set of RUN racing head lights...and a friend may have found me a set!

I love pop-ups on our cars, but if I were to go sleek it would be R-Magic or RE-A with air-tubes.

RotorDad · 04-30-2009, 01:28 PM

the RE lights are the Tits!! just on the pricey side

KnightSports! I'm not a fan of sleek headlights. It just doesn't look right to me.

KaiFD3S · 05-22-2009, 06:43 PM

Pop ups will slow you down at night when doing high speed driving, it will cause wind resistance...Sleek all the way...

Not that it will make a big difference but that is just my thinking...LOL...

nice...just nice =]

i'm usually trying to zip around curves at night and travel 5-10 mph over the speed limit when the road is straight...

I'm a fan of pop ups more than sleek kits so I'm for the knight sports all the way, but if I suddenly got amnesia and wanted sleek lights these are the only ones that would get put on my car.

IMO The R-Magic lights look more aggressive than all the other sleek lights out there.
