Got mine installed Monday. Felt a little like Christmas again!
It was cold, dark, and snowing outside, but I still managed to get them installed in just about 45 minutes. Well worth it! The new lenses actually cover what they're suppose to. However, I am not a fan of the blue tinted bulbs. I believe I will try something like the Philips X-Treme, as I've read some pretty good reviews about them. But still very happy!!

I have to agree. These are much much better than the flash lights that were on there from the factory, but I'm not a fan of the blue tint. Still I'm glad I got them. Still some adjusting to do, but very nice.

Had them in over a week, and I still love them. I got to use the highbeams for a long while (finally), and they are great. If you are still on the fence, don't be.

Just drove home from my shop after installing the new IPF Headlights, i think they are well worth it & a great improvement for a reasonable price. I had the Silverstar bulbs & these are much brighter i can actually see well without the fogs on & now with the fogs on the light output is awesome. Personally the blue tint from the bulbs doesnt bother me I kind of like it.

finally arrived in Canada....did the install after work took about 45 minutes to do. Had to use the Zip ties as mine would not snap tight. It was a bit of a pain for the IPF headlight to fit within the stock housing....seemed a little big. But I managed to get them in solid and man what a BIG difference from stock..... I did not have to do any adjusting as they sat great! Well worth the $189 CDN!

Headlights arrived this week (thanks Stan and Dave) along with my t-shirt, and I installed them this morning. Had to drive some twisty rural roads tonight and the difference from the stock headlights is incredible, even when I had the PIAA Extreme Whites installed.
Low beam now actually looks like my lights are on, and high beam lights up the road much better. Road signs and guard rails show up better too.
As others have said, the light is focused where it should be.
Good job Northridge and IPF.
This is how the factory set should have been. I don't understand why they needed to reinvent the headlight, then do it so poorly, when there are viable and better alternatives like cibie and hella and of course IPF 7" headlights already in existence?
