Default S5 leds on pre-facelift Laser red

I want to get the s5 headlights from partsforeuro.com but my friend is telling me that they will look aweful. My uncle just bought some ebay knockoffs and I held them up to my car and they looked pretty good. Although it seems that the inside of the ebay ones are black and partsforeuro.com ones are clear. I'm really not sure if they will look good and am looking for some more opinions.

It would be awesome if someone could do a photoshop with the s4 with the headlights in the above link with the attached picture of my car.
Also if anyone could show me how to put a picture in my thread without having to attach it, my computer won't just let me copy and paste it in.
Thanks

What year is your ride? I asked about installing the same lights and a member advised me:

"You'll have to retro fit the prefacelift plug wires to make these work for 99.5+. I liked them too, until I learned that."

I can try photoshopping the pic for you. Im not wiz at it, but I can try.

Oh, and if you want to post a pic I think all you have to do is:

[i*mg]link for your pic[/i*mg] (just take out the "*" from the "img")

Those headlights come in both a chrome and black version. Since you have a black grill the black headlights would probably look better.

Your uncle bought Ebay knockoffs? If they look the same then they are the same... all made by the same manufacturer.

Just FYI, the LEDs aren't visible during the day at all, unless you really look at them. And also, when I had mine others thought they looked too "busy".

I have a 98, any photoshop pic would be so helpful. Thanks

The ebay ones were from china and the the blinker light on my car is three prong so the ebay ones didn't fit. I thought the partsforeuro ones that were more expensive were different. Also they offer a smoked headlight, I just want the inside parts to be black not the screen.

They are the same... and the "smoked" version is just black instead of chrome. I haven't seen a version with the lens smoked.

Not a bad photochop!

But the pic of the headlight lacks a bit of clarity. They don't look as "busy" in the pic as they actually would on the car.

I say if you have the money go for it. If you dont like those theres always those eurospec ones that are all-white which also look very nice.
