edwin,
Why regret ar? I been using crystal lights and it's been ok for me so far. The thing is that I bought the plastic ones so the plastic has turned half yellowish and ah, you know, signs of plastic aging has clearly shown. hahaha Planning to get glass crystal lights. hehe

 

[edwin_lcw]

dunno la they say not as good as those original ones .... the aftermarket ones cannot focus the light beam .... dare not to try .... better stick to original .... moreover SE ones is black based too

if crystal headlamp convert to black headlamp reduce the brigtness a bit o same only?

 

[edwin_lcw]

i don`t get u m3 ....

edwin_lcw,
What he means is actually a comparision between 2 types of crystal head lamps. One type is where the entire inside of the head lamps is crystal. Another one is like the GTI one, where the side is black, but the reflectors are crystal. :)

m3_power,
I doubt the brightness will be affected whether it's black face crystal or crystal face crystal lamps. The lights would typically use only the round reflectors to beam the light forward and not the sides of head lamps.

Yeah, my light beam is not as properly focused as the original ones. hahaha Guess I feel for the looks of the lights. hehehe

spykey,
I'm driving a satria. I got the plastic ones cos they're the cheaper options at that time. hehe

hi guys,
yeah i've heard that there are difference between local and taiwan made.
but is it really the price difference is that much ?
and quality is so much different too ?

how much is standard price outside ?

try putting a 100W bulb in a taiwan n a 100W bulb in a original lights ......
thats what i like about original lights .... some more original lights can lower glare for ppl infront .... but taiwan .... no comment .....
satria u got put HID ah ?
if u got put then sei lo

 

[spykey]

powergigi=

as what the shop told me,taiwan one cost rm300 with warranty 1 year...
local one rm100 and no waranty.
i have seen both of it and its really identical...be sure when u buy it

edwin= when i on only small light,i noticed that crystal headlamp abit not bright compare to stock headlamp.anyway... the crystal reflection inside the headlamp can makes the owner proud..really cool:)

 

[powergigi]

hi spykey,
thanks for the info.
but i see there are sellers selling local ones up to RM250..... no offense to anyone, but maybe its coz the quality has improved.
one more thing i could notice is that taiwan is more "bling bling " look than local. more shining in a way. i think coz of the GLASS.. and not plastic.
but now local also have them in GLASS cover already rite ?

yup that wat i mean. thanx for the explanation satria. so its same only if blackened the lamp? no use la like that. u using hid satria?

 

[edwin_lcw]

taiwan aka local got 2 grade plastic n also glass ..... plastic is darn stupid onli to fit in the hole onli ..... cover lousy n also the reflector also lousy
glass one is cover ok but after sometime also die .... the reflector same lousy ....
both also producing high glare so no point ..... fit in HID everyone will kill u .....
original onli glass ... used to be bosch but now is AL already .... no more bosch
but quality are the same compared .....
no glare focused beam n also last long

the crystal one is producing glare but focus is better than the taiwan ones lo .... like satria says YENG ah !!!

i dun need yeng .... i need sat yong onli .... haha
break few times already but still want original lights
