I would highly advise against those aftermarket sedan headlights.

This is a picture comparison with both cars parked 25 feet from the wall.

Co-workers g37 coupe right after headlights were installed with brand new osram cool blue boost bulbs and aligned.

My car has factory oem headlights with STi-R clear lens swap and 5 year old osram cool blue intense bulbs.

Wow, that's pretty crappy. Don't they have to meet a certain standard for safety?

Excellent, qmantran! That pic should forever make these headlights a non-option.

doesn't look that bad? Pay attention to the intensity and brightness of the light output against the garage door. The beam width isn't even as wide as oem headlights.

his light output is garbage and he has brand new osram cool blue boost bulbs installed. Those bulbs are supposed to be one of the brightest bulbs available on the market today and just released earlier this year.

compared to my car which has 5 year old bulbs....

There's other things to look for when considering new headlights. The cut off line is not the only thing you should be worried about.

Are the height of the headlights easy to adjust? It dawned on me on the drive home last night that the height of my headlights might be off a bit after lowering the car. Why I thought of this just recently after the lowering the car a few years ago is beyond me.

Thats crazy that the light output is that bad with osram bulbs. I can't imagine what they look like with stock bulbs.

the first 2 pictures you showed me appears that the high beam shutter is stuck.

did that user say what kind of headlights he bought? That beam pattern is definitely off, but it looks like the high beam is engaged
