I can see how the clears could be considered rice, I'm on the fence though. The black ones are better imo, sleek and subtle ftw.

no way, it's not rice...looks awesome imo!!

im waiting for the dealer 2 release this.... cant wait!! gonna go with the blackedout ones. :D

Rice.

How many things do I wish I was, that I'm not?

- Audi-like LED-style strip (maybe they're LEDs... dunno)
- BWM-like rings
- MB-like location of horizontal strip above headlamps

oem plz

blacked out looks clean

They all look nice. I don't think upgrading your headlights should ever be considered rice.

^ORLY

so are these some clean looking tails or what

I think rice

if they are not quality, they will flicker weird too

hows the cutoff and light output?

they are rice...not even a retrofit...you get some cheap China brand projectors

was going to say rice but the look grows into me. not bad at all!

edit: what i meant was OEM or the blacked out ones. clear is rice.

rice. just get the regular angel eyes.

i think the blacked out ones look nice. quite unique, until everyone rocks them.

rice
oem ftw

even my ebay headlight is cleaner than that

I don't get why those after market headlights have to come with Halos. It seems like there's none that makes non-halos with black housing.

i guess alot of aftermarket headlights + tail lights tend do try and ape euro style heads...but if you think about it, whats designo's trademark around here? led strip :) whered they get it from? audi :) doesnt seem to stop ppl from getting them :haha: no hate on your theory cuz i agree, alot of ppl do stuff to their car so they look like higher model or class cars...i put brushed mirrors on my golf to mimic an RS4 ^^"

OP, dont be discouraged to get the black ones, they look pretty clean but beware, if you put them on a stock car it will be borderline rice :thumbsup:

thats my 10 cents haha

Designo has a trademark? hahahahahaha.

the black would be fine..

the the LED's kill it

In this order:

1) OEM
2) Blacked out w/out led's

LED is fine but yours is smack in t he middle looks funny
should be at the bottom

IvoryGT's retrofit + CF work, from hidplanet.com forums:

Not sure about the halos but otherwise not bad

IMO OEM one doesn't look that good, surprised it has projectors though
