Change to original. Nothing beats using original parts. Crystal lights may be nice but i'm not convince of the long term quality.

yeap.... original ones are best....

currently i'm also looking for iswara original BOSCH headlamp.... but cannot find cheap one la... brand new one cost rm270 per side....

crystal ones will look nice during daytime... but performance during night unsure... some might perform well but some wont... depends on ur luck....

I've heard of cases of aftermarket lights that leaks and vapor will form inside it.

taiwan crystal lights might not be sealed 100% tight so can collect water inside.. de color of de light oso can fade away in long term use.. original is de best bro..

cheaper headlamps seem to discolor due to the plastic not being able to withstand heat from the bulb

edwin_lcw : just go check out the quality of the crystal headlights yourself, then check out the original light ... do banyak research (other than listening to people in ZTH) .. then make ur own decision .... best is to listen to yourself.

i'm using crystal headlamp (smoked glass) taiwan mari punyer... so far i'm really satisfied with the performance... performance similar with original bosch headlamps... will it fade ??? dont think so, coz mine made from glass, not plastic.. bought at GC motorsport (RM 340) complete 6 pieces (2 signal, 2 headlight and 2 side marker)

yeap... if lucky, some crystal headlamp perform as good as original ones, and yet look more lengjai.... but if unlucky, the light might not be focused at all...

coz QC for aftermarket crystal headlamp not strict mah.... only original headlamp are tested for performance....

I did use crystal headlamps before but got rid of it after a few months because the adjustments keep getting out of focus and it was not as clear as the original.

i must agree crystal lamp not as good as ori ones...
see whether u wanna go for looks or performance...

agree wif slipknot...its hard to adjust...somemore its not as bright!!!

but crystal ones looks nice n cheaper...
ori ones looks normal..perform better...expensive...

u take ur pick la...
if u planing to use HID then go for crystal lo...
wahahaha

just my 2 cents
