Looks good. I’ve been wondering about those headlights.

I personally think they are hideous. They just do nothing good for the look of the car IMO, but, opinions are like (well you know) but as long as you like them and they function well and last that is all that really counts.

I kind of like the look. Not on everything, but with your lowered car and modern wheel choice, I think they have a cool restomod vibe.

I haven’t driven at night yet. I am still putting together the other side. I will give an update one I do.

To each his own, but since you asked, looks completely out of place to me. I hope they work for you.

Pretty cool.....I'm not crazy about the headlights, but any kind of styling curveball is kinda cool in my book. I really like your car's color with those black wheels though!

I love the headlamps. I have been driving at night. What a difference! It’s like driving a modern vehicle.

Definitely has a great restomod look to it! It looks like you've done a really nice, clean job. Great work! I'm always a big fan of those BMW styled angel eyes. I wouldn't personally have those on my car as I like the more classic, stock look, but I can certainly appreciate the way they look on yours!

I've been looking at those too, and I think they look great! And you can see at night now? I'm sold, I'm going to order some like those soon. Did you install a relay or check the voltage to them? I'm also curious about your wheels, can you tell me the size and backspacing? I'd love to see a straight on side shot of your car, I dig it!

I'm sure the headlights are an upgrade from the original T3s, but aesthetically not my cup of tea. I will say your car is sweet. Love the stance with the panasport/Silverstone wheels and lowered suspension.
