Just got my tracking confirmation that my headlights are on the way back to me! I should have them towards the end of next week.

Just received my headlights! Everything looks good so far. I will be installing them tomorrow after work. One thing I still notice is a strong smell when I open the plug for the main bulb. It smells like off gassing to me from the paint. I am letting them air out over night for whatever that may be worth. I will be installing OSRAM 5500K CBI bulbs before I put them on the car. Ill let you guys know how it turns out.

Well, the lights have been on the car for a week and everything seems to be just fine. No condensation, lights function as they should and they look great. Alex at 180Customs made it right and I appreciate that. Of course, I cant speak for those of you who had a bad experience but I wanted to say that in the end, they did make it right. I had a spare set of headlights unlike most of you so it wasnt as huge an inconvenience. Needless to say, I wont be getting rid of my old lights just in case I need to do repairs (or changes) in the future.

Sorry it took so long to upload some pics. I got lazy and the first time I tried to take them it was dark and the light was too bright.

Wow, those look great Jake!! Congrats!!!


How much did those set you back if you don't mind me asking? I'm interested in having this done too but have read about the issues some have had so I'm on the fence about it.

They were around $1k with all the mods. Iron man, angel eyes, painting, upgraded lenses, carbon fiber side strip. I also upgraded the D2S bulbs to Osram 5500K which were another $160. Not sure what happened on the first go around with my lights but Alex made it right and they seem to be working and looking great.
