03-05 CAVALIER guys....???
Thursday, September 14, 2006 4:24 PM
I just wondered if anyone had bought the "euro chrome" headlights offered on ebay?
Wanting to know quality, look, pics....that sort of thing...
Think they'd look any good on silver?

i have those same kind but only mine are black. for some reason one of mine started to fog up already and ive only had them like a month or so. and yes just like cheesecake said the adjustments on them do suck. the first time i adjusted mine the adjustment broke and i had to rig it to so that they would adjust. so i wouldnt recommend buying them.

Just testing the waters

i personally like them i guess but i think its because i also like the look of the 00-02 headlights with clear corners.

Yes, of course its "ricey" and "looks terribleZ" blah blah blah . . . People on this baodr are gayer then Richard Simmons on a Friday night . . .

I bought them for my black 05. The paint on the housing thats chrome could've been a tad better, but no defects, flitches, etc. The white reflectors look kickass and it works together good. The only thing I had a problem with during the install, is that the bolt lineup to connect to the car was slightly off, so you just have to manuver them a bit but it'll work and fits good. I also had to use the alignment screws to make sure I didn't blind people horribly . . . though that could've been fun

I'd go for them if thats what you are looking for. Half the people on this forum thing everything that isn't performance is "ricey" or look terrible, so you just have to go for what you like. I swear, if it doesn't say "Toyota Cavalier" everything is gay to these people

It's called having taste. The 'chrome' headlights are pretty cheesy looking, IMO the ones that are stock colour and have clear reflectors or the smoked reflectors both look good though.

Well, the chrome look works well if you have a scheme that pulls it off. IMO, the scheme I have going with the black car with the chrome lights that stand out looks pretty cool. Then again, even the altezza tail lights look good on certain color schemes. It all depends

Now, if i could get the all clear, and keep the black surrounds that the stock ones have, id love it. I'm just not too keen on me or anyone else taking apart my perfectly good headlights. But on the other hand, if i had an extra set, I'd be all for it lol

Its a matter of preferance yes, but this was just to see the general consensus of thought, that is all

i got my all clear ones with the black surrounds from proexhaust off of ebay. i just have a problem with my one fogging up.

I almost bought the ones off ebay but they are not worth the price to me. I say look into make your own for way less.

The black frame / clear corner one's posted above. Are they cheaply made as well?

On eBay they sell for about $125+shipping for a pair, which I did not think was that bad because the stock ones I seen on eBay are listed for $90+shipping each. But I guess if they are cheap and brake easy too. Thats not good.
