Review OEMassive Coupe headlights
#17
Does the led strip function as a day time running light and turn on automatically with the car without having to turn on the headlights or indicator lights? If not is there a way to have it function as a daytime running light and also function as the turn signal as normal?

Arxylis, just wondering if you had to bend in place any of the 4 metal tabs? When I tried to hold them in position for bolting, the plastic guide pieces seem to hold the whole housing back from moving further into place to match oem fit. Looking at it from a far its not bad, and I guess its expected for aftermarket... that being said build quality is very impressive.
For what its worth, here are a few quick and dirty pictures at different angles to better portray the fit.
'08 Journey/ nonsport and tree pollen
Driver side gap, not too noticeable with OB paint
Roughly 1/3 cm gap starting at the 1cm line
Residue remaining from manufacturing - unfortunately did not clear up from the interior.
Amber bulb came installed
Passenger side gap - not as large as driver but still noticeable up close
No lights at ~sunset
Parking light
Side amber has 3 leds
low beam projectors - once ballasts and bulbs are moved over its plug and go. Recommend adjusting beams before bumper reinstall, very hard to fit a ratchet in
Halogen bulb for high/fogs came installed
Sequential turn in action

Build your own bandwagon.
I'm a minimalist by nature so these aren't up my alley, but I must say the shape of the DRL blends well with the IPL bumper's chrome bezels.
Now PLEASE would someone get ahold of a pair of these and fill out those dead spaces along the bottom with functional LEDs!

I love the look of them. The only issue I have with the headlights is the cutoff. This should be able to be corrected with a little modding of a clear lens, but kind of defeats the purpose. Having to pay for parts and labor for something that should be working 100% is a bit disappointing.
Looks great nonetheless otherwise. =

I am a headlight junkie- I've done several retrofits on previous cars- and I think the output on these is pretty good. Hopefully they come out with something for the sedan. I like the OEM headlights though.

How bright is the high beam bulb that comes with it? I'm getting these lights installed tomorrow, I bought leds for the high beams but they sadly were too big, it seems to only accommodate halogens like the ones it already has. My question is should I purchase some different brand high beam h7s or keep the ones it has. Since I'm getting them installed tomorrow, I figure if I was going to change the bulb, I should do so before they're installed

Please see my album, what year is your coupe? I'm a little worried about water getting in but I think it'll be fine.

Also it'll fit better but you really have to shove it in and have someone hold it in while it gets installed, that's how I was able to get the fitment better, before when the technician installed it on their own, there was a gap at the top, right it's almost none existent gap
