Oh, and there's two styles, but personally, I liked the look of the classic ones more.
Those Classic ones actually looks pretty promising, if the cut off is actually that clear.

Yea, the cutoff design was intriguing to me. It has a flap that cuts off the beam and makes it completely level. When you switch to high beams the flap flips up and allows the whole beam to be exposed. I thought it a pretty simple/ingenious design with fewer needed parts.

The car in the lighting pic is the owners 280Z. There's pics of it on the website but he has the moderns, with the black projector housing, installed. He said the classics have the exact same light spread though. He just recently got ahold of the classic styles so I think I was one of the first to get them. Unfortunately I haven't seen any installed pics of them. My father has a pretty clean 65 mustang and it it takes the same 7 inch round design. He wants to get a set since he saw mine. I'll probably install them for him so I'll take pics and post. It might be a few weeks though since the car is in the shop right now.

Here's a couple pics from the website of the modern housing design installed on his car and a 240Z:

Exactly, It's like the newer Infinity projectors.

Email is definitely the best way to reach him, but the phone should work.

I was talking to him about some interest on this forum and he said he could do a group buy of at least 5 people for 325 each set. Let me know if you are interested!

Default Just an update

So over the holidays I met up with my buddy to pick up my headlights and he asked if I wanted to help install them in his 81 Porsche. I was interested in the install process and I took phone pics so I could post them up here. We hit a speedbump because the headlight setup is somewhat odd in the german car. (I'm happy I have a camaro). But with some tinkering we got it to work. He has since acquired extensions and 55w ballasts, an optional upgrade from the 35w, to make the kit more universal. I think they look pretty good, it just made me a little more excited to work on my car. I just have to find the money/time.

Here's the pics(sorry, the weather was pretty bad):

its the name of my 65 fastback. even has the chess piece logo airbrushed on the intake manifold

Anyway, those classic kits look pretty good mxer788, I would be interested at $325. I assume they will fit a 65 Mustang. standard 7" lights
