I talked to a local retailer who told me the the Dual Halo design have a VERY high faliure rate. I'm seeing them all over e-bay for cheap $100-$120 (most with no warranty). Has anybody had any experience with these things. My oem headlamps are hazy and nasty lookn'.

 

a buddy of mine bought some from Modacar, pricey but no problems what so ever.

 

i have them on my car no problems what so eva had them for about 2 yrs. i installed another set but somone tried to steal them off his car cuz it was at the train station. but they were bright. if u do get them i would just change the bulbs and put brighter ones in

 

Want some real advice bro? I suggest if you wanna stick around this board, and actually wanna learn some tech stuff about honda's... READ & SEARCH before you ask questions.

I garantee you that you will get "Flamed" (aka - talkin ****) for posting about these headlamps. Those lights are concidered "Rice" on this board. If you don't know what "Rice" means yet. Trust me, stick around and you will.

Oh btw, to answer your question... Those lights are very bad quality made, and I woudln't buy them, if I were you. If your lookin for better quality lighting, I suggest get a used pair of oem headlights. (ebay) Some would say get some JDM replacements, but those are for "gayDM" ******

 

my friend has a pair and they work good but one has fog in it (don't know how exactly but we can't get it to stay out for good) and the low beam went out on one after a month or so....

 

if i bought them id bake them in the oven and remove the halo's

 

halos are good, but alot of times the bulbs blow after a short amount of time and the bulbs are hard to find for it, but if you dont mind doin the legwork to find the nulb to replace with then go for it

 

of the ones ive seen in person and these being the ebay ones they are very poorly put together, they just look cheap, and have a tendancey (sp?) to fog. If you are set on getting projectors get some TYC's or better yet do a retro fit hid conversion.

 

the relays are what go on these things.. so when you putt them in .. wrap up the realys really well,away from water ect.

 

if u do get them change the bulbs. and put a bead of silicone in between the lens and the headlight house all around so no moisture gets in. my lights are from tyc. and how are they riced out if bmw has them on there cars ??

Thanks for the input. I think I'll go with the name brand ones and spend the money. But I love the halo look, rice or not (whatever the hell that means).

So one fogged from the poor quality of the seal, and the other had a low beam go out, and that's what you consider a good working peice?

 

They are made for BMW. On anything else, they look like ****.
