I have to admit.. before I grew up and out of the fast n furious rice stage I had a set of those on my car. The third-eye (bubble) is hideous! I put a set of one peice black housing headlights in my car and the difference is amazing in looks alone. Parked beside someone with that bubble almost made me gag from the view of it. I matured and realized the bubble was just disgusting.

Stay away.

I have them. The light output is horrendous and they attract unwanted attention from ricers, cops, etc. One of the "halos" even burned out. STAY AWAY

Are you runnign a "HID kit" in the projector housings? If so then THATS why ur light output sucks, dosent matter ebay or not.


I got real nice set off ebay for ~$200. They havent leaked in 2 years and the light output with stock bulbs is exactly the same as stock housings IMO. The halos look cool, but I don't use em much... but the fact the both lights have clear lenses (both High n low beams) look much better in the daytime then stock.

Heres what they look like at night, and yeah I know the foglights are slightly tilted-they're fixed now...and sorry for the slight blurr... Ill take better pics later if u want

Tonyl507: you might just be one of the lucky ones that had better light output, regardless HID on oem projecter is better then with the aftermarket halo, IMO.

i've been in cars with oem, halo and retrofit. retrofit is nice but i just don't want to spend money and time.

oem better than the halo.

halo light output sucks a$$

here's a picture of my setup....i have a cheap camera, sucks at night.




Daytime: peeps like the clear look of the highbeam



previous owner had it installed...i'd rather run oem

Are you joking? Black housings and shitty projectors make the output of halo lights WAY worse, and in some cases, downright dangerous.

Why cuz its not JDM y0!!!
IMO they dont look ugly at all, its def a different look on a teg.
Anything you do that isnt factory or JDM now a days is rice which is such stupid bullshit. If that was true everyone would be driving around with the front end conversion. And we would be all so "original".
