2008- Up Aero Headlights

aarcaris · 05-08-2022, 05:40 PM

Just upgraded to Vantage Optics LED projector headlights, so I don't need these basically brand new headlights. I had put these headlights on my van last summer since at the time Vantage optics lights didn't seem like an option. The van spent most of the time parked in the garage so they are basically brand new. I upgraded the headlight bulbs from stock, but can't remember which ones. I have packaging from the Vantage lights so I can ship them at the buyer's expense. Let me know if you have any questions or if you have an offer.

$200 OBO

Are those OEM or aftermarket?

They are CAPA-certified aftermarket headlights.

I have the little rectangle headlights in mine, the 5x7 things. In terms of light output do you think these would be much better or should i keep saving for teh vantage optics lights?

I think these were brighter than the 5x7 headlights that I had previously so, in my opinion, it would be an upgrade. I haven't driven the van yet since doing the swap to the Vantage optics lights, but from the driveway test they are super bright, though they come at a high premium. The Vantage lights are rough 5x the cost of these, so that is really up to you if that is something you want to save for.

I have the OEM version of these on my van.....light output is OK....certainly not earth-shattering....

If you want to convert to this style I think you'll need some pigtail adapter harnesses....I know that's the case going the other way (from these to what you have)

Boywonder I would agree with you that the light output isn't incredible, but it was slightly better than my previous lights. ScrapIron: The biggest reason why I would go with these would be for the looks. If you don't really like the look of these, but are hoping for a huge improvement in headlights output I would look at some other options. Also, Boywonder is correct that these are not a direct plug and play you will need to change the wiring to an H13 style plug for these lights.

So just to be clear, you upgraded to Vantage Optics headlights in your original black shrouds?

It's a bummer that the VO upgrade on this "Aero" style of headlight can't be shipped.

No, I upgraded to the Aero Vantage optics light! I reached out to Scott about it that same thing and he said that it's just an error on the site, so if you go through to the checkout you can actually have them shipped. I will post some pictures on my build thread soon.

Awesome! Good to know it's an option.
