Urgent!Crystal headlights with black inserts??
Hi all
As far as I know, the classic crystal headlights with the black inserts were only made by aftermarket companies and not by Subaru??
There's a set with the black inserts going on ebay at the mo which the chap insists are genuine subaru items and not Depo or another make.
I've asked him if they have SUBARU on the lenses to which he has confirmed they have??
Any help appriciated please as to wether or not Subaru ever did these black insert headlights as genuine items??
Thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks a bunch for the helpfull replies chaps!!
Well I decided to leave the ones on ebay for the mo as I couldn't be sure if they had been done well or not.
They look great in your pics guy's!!
They definatly look much better with the black inserts over the standard crystal look IMO and it's definatly something I'll be doing in the near future on my existing headlamps as it sounds pretty straight forward to do as long as care is taken.
Cheers

I turned my lights on for the first time the other day since fitting the black crystals as the side of the lense is blacked out does this narrow the beam of light ? just curious .
