Aftermarket Spyder Headlight Or Retrofit ?

Post by Baptiste1106 »

With PROOF of light output please show me the difference and which is better btw these aftermarket spyder lights or retrofitting it. A buddy of mine insists the spyder with an HID is better. My bet is on retrofit

Without knowing the candlepower, lumens, or whatever, IMHO, the ebay lights look about 100 times better. Not what you were asking, I know--but curb appeal would definitely seem a factor in this case.

@dosbricks ... That was just an example of what rzdesigns used to have for P80 volvos. They have way better kits now. I want looks and great light output. Any 4300k kit works fine with me

I went with ABM projectors for my C70. I love them....best $350 I've spent on the car, and a huge improvement in night driving.
