So tell me this...
The First projectors that came out, we know are by Spyder.
The second is by who? - Did Spyder make them as well????

Both from Los Angeles CA! Coincidence? You decide!

Spyer Auto, 881 S.Azusa Ave, City of Industry, CA 91748
Option Racing, 207 S. 6th Ave. La Puente, CA 91746

Close enough for sabotage, espionage or to conspire...

5.6miles apart!

Option racing is just the wholesaler. If you look at the key things in the lights I think they are made by the exact same company.... I mean what are the chances of 2 totally different headlight companies making a very similar light... chances are slim. :shrug:
The key thing will be how the wires are hooked up, since you can see the backside of the Spyder lights on ebay but not the others.

I can almost bet there both from Spyder.

Why wouldn't they have already told us they were making 2 different lights though?
Could someone call them, and maybe get the low down on this?

I am not calling them again to much long distance! ahah
I don't think it matters though I mean there aftermarket headlights thats it thats all! Either wait around for the GB to get started here, or just buy the nicer ones (IMO) off ebay for the same price.

i can see so many differences in both the spyder auto style and the option racing styles front and back side of the lights

one has plastic covers over where the bulbs are installed the other set look like they used rubber they both have different mounting brackets

just look at both and compare

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I was just staring at the newest projectors... It looks to me that there is a line of the top and bottom of the light that lights up?!
Maybe, they just made it where it looks like it lights up. - What do you guys think?
